This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

I watched a screener of this from PBS — it airs next week. Highly recommended. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

@davidcavlovic.bsky.social thanks for the follow from the Great White North! I'll have to listen to your show! I'm an old classical music guy. My cellist daughter is getting married this summer to a German violist in Switzerland. We're going on a side trip to Vienna to visit all things Mahler.
