Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Kidnapping and deporting people with legal status is fine “for now” according to the Supreme Court. Things are not “normal” and won’t be again. What is your personal canary in a coal mine? How far is too far? There are no wrong answers, just curious. #directaction

Remember: The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

The sh*t needs to stop. This sociopathic oligarch thinks he can come into WI and buy our election. Saying this on Bluesky is obviously preaching to the choir, but fellow WI folks please don’t sit this one out. Voting is only one tool, but a critical one onTuesday. #wisco #wisconsin #oligarchy #vote

Because the first question shifts the blame to the desperate, making their morality the focus, while the second question demands accountability from the powerful. It's easier to question survival than to challenge greed.

Bush league. The bankrupt brain trust in charge of our government is now texting top secret war plans to each other and, oh yeah, a journalist from the Atlantic. You really can’t make up this level of incompetence #kidstablegenius

Medicare for All isn't radical. What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost. Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

This from @aoc.bsky.social is boss. We fall back on shorthand signals- left, right, liberal, conservative, communist, capitalist. What if we stop "team sport" politics and talk about what we believe and have in common. If we stop letting the few divide us we can build a movement. #DNC #nomorekings

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago. In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

Money missing? Complete sh*t show? Less than honest accounting methods? Why is this not surprising? #tesla #elon

Congress is too scared to act. The courts are too scared to act and/or to enforce their own rulings. 3 branches of government-- one wants absolute power and two are in cahoots and/or cowed. When all legal levers of power are corrupt or inept, what response are we left with? #directaction

We now live in a world of almost complete surveillance. Once the domain of tinfoil hats, our phones, social media, biometrics, and online behavior can be utilized at any time security services get their hands on it. Good to keep in mind in troubled times. #panopticon #surveillancestate

Here we go. Trump just chose the court order that he'll openly defy with the bully argument: "You can't make me comply". With a congress offering no resistance, this is where we see if our constitution is still worth the paper it is printed on. What's your backup plan? #dictatorship #lineinthesand

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Hours after Donald Trump did a free commercial for Tesla on the White House lawn, Elon Musk reportedly announced plans to donate $100 million to a MAGA super PAC. Money in politics has always corrupted, but it's hardly been this brazen.

Can we be done with the “team sports” approach to politics? #DNC and #GOP are not exactly the same. Unfortunately, what they do have in common at the top is a priority to protect access to power and wealth for themselves and their donors. We can criticize this without being “disloyal”. And we should

Your Democratic Party, ladies and gents. Schumer would rather pretend everything is normal to avoid material discomfort. Would shutting down the gov be fun? Obviously not. But Trump and Musk are shutting it down anyway, a bit more every day. Spineless. #dnc #democrats

Walking away from X and getting on @bsky.app has been a good experience. I don't miss the toxicity of many X posts and trolls, the shadow bans, and the pay to play stuff. I do miss instances where people who don't think alike engage in respectful dialogue-- even though that was rare. #bluesky

(1 of 2) This is no surprise. To those who oppose direct action, I wonder if you don't truly believe the climate models that are coming out now. Our governments aren't equipped, or willing, to oppose market forces and the market demands unlimited growth and insatiable consumption.

Not satisfied with simply being compared to a used car salesman, Trump turns the White House lawn into a Tesla lot and himself into an actual lot lizard. Always a blast watching metaphors become reality. #everythingmustgo #tesla

Oligarchy in the US is not an anomaly. It is the logical outcome of the type of market economy and political system we have built over time. This does not have to be our future. Let’s build something different. #idicoracy #oligarchy

What do the two parties have in common? They increasingly cannot speak to or represent their base-- the majority of us here in the US. So what and who do they represent? Money, power, and the minority with access to it. We don't have to be bound by the #DNC and #GOP. Time to. build something new.
