Well that's not scary at all...

Relax! It's from back in 2017! Surely all those people and more are where they belong now - in prison!

Oh wait no that's NOT what happened.

I'll never forgive Biden for hiring that pos Garland. I hope Garland rots in you know where for a long time.

mcjambro.bsky.social•1 day ago

Or appointing Garland, whatever. Makes me angry just thinking about it.

A cautionary tale of how the almighty dollar can turn even the most skeptical minds into apologists for the status quo. 💸👀

How ironic when the book is published by Hachette which is owned by the French equivalent of Rupert Murdoch

Who are some of the once reliable critics of corporate and state powers turned defenders of wealth and reactionary policies? Curious to know who’s named.

Matt Taibi and Glenn Greenwald are two I can recall off the top of my head

jellibean.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bill Maher should likely be in the book, too.

shafawn.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maher was never a “reliable voice” on anything. He’s just a self-satisfied, self-centered jerk. Who needs another one of THOSE?

Speaking as a former Glenn Greenwald fan, thank you for this 💜
