The populist revolt is brewing. Huge turnout last night for Bernie in Omaha. Will probably be the same later today in Iowa City. The hubris, greed, and exploitation by the ruling class is angering the masses.

The world's richest man has mounted a hostile takeover of the US government while normal people are making a guy who assassinated an insurance CEO into a folk hero. I don't presume to tell the billionaires about history but Louis XVI might have a few words of warning about the direction of things.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

The average battleground recruit for democrats in 2006 was a veteran who talked about spending money "on the local fire station instead of Baghdad" and hated bush in 2026 the equivalent is probably gonna be an recent laid off federal employee waving the bloody shirt
