The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

1. Our next #nlwx system rolls in Friday AM, or early afternoon depending on location, bringing snow to eastern Newfoundland, with the Avalon seeing the highest amounts, along with gusty winds N to NE 60-80 km/h. However, some uncertainty with the track/placement, which determines snowfall amounts.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

It’s not good planning to be buying advanced military aircraft from a nation whose president says they want to annex us. Let’s hedge our bets and buy someone else’s tech as well, or replace US-built aircraft completely. I hear there are good European fighter aircraft.

The Trump administration’s Ukraine policy conceals a “source of future disaster,” @eliotacohen.bsky.social writes. “No one will contradict the president, and no one will raise alarms about stupid and immoral policies.”

Oligarch owned media will downplay any protest or movement it sees as hostile and try to control the narrative or scope of your goals. This is a tired tactic. They claim thousands are hundreds and call you mere “anti-Trump critics”. Don’t let that discourage you, your voices are louder. #3E

Trump has ordered the Justice Department to stop enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act . It's yet another alarming move by the most unabashedly corrupt president in American history. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/bribery-unbound

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

America is not an ally. They support others only if and when it serves their ultimate goals. Driven by greed, steeped in corruption, racism, and division, it is a failed democracy. The less we associate with it, the better.

Trump and DOGE accused federal civil servants of fraud (with no evidence). Meanwhile, they're halting enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law, dropping criminal charges against Eric Adams, and pardoning a former governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat. Hello?

Remember: The oligarchs 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.
