I completely agree. We are past the constitutional crisis and have arrived at a post-democratic representative oligarchy.

I'm not even what I'd call highly visible and I've been threatened with lawsuits and had people write my employer to try to get me fired for sharing what I observed during 2020. One of the people who threatened me participated in a version of Jan 6 at the Colorado State Capitol.

From a reader/viewer perspective, I'd think any news organization would benefit from taking a clear adversarial position on the incoming administration. That they are sacrificing that news edge to capitulate feels a lot like the billionaire owners have come to a group decision.

Post something before you start following people. That helps them know you're really "here" and that you might not be a bot. Reposting is okay when it's meaningful, but a lot of reposting just looks like a bot.

In the US billionaires and their corrupt politician lackeys sell the school shooters the weapons then put all the victims into lifelong medical debt, then gaslight them while praising God. All along the way they squeeze hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions from the entire process.

My niece is getting married today. They are doing a full catholic mass. Haven’t been to one of these since my brother (her father) and sister-in-law got married. Looking forward to a great day of love and celebration!

Massive street party in Homs, Syria celebrating the fall of the regime.

Let's be clear: getting rid of experienced, nonpolitical civil servants in vital agencies and replacing them with MAGA loyalists isn't government efficiency — it's political cronyism and a recipe for corruption. We can and should make the government work better. This isn't how.
