“Democratic leaders seem afraid of their most effective messengers — imagine how strong we’d be as a party if we lifted up our most popular communicators,” @rebeccakkatz.bsky.social

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I pray not only for peace but for the end of apartheid in Israel, a fair two-state border following the Green Line, and a Marshall Plan for Palestine. سلام

Peter Thiel illustrates how most Silicon Valley tech billionaires inevitably become delusional, power mad menaces. They may think they have big ideas, but all they have is a lot of money and access to power. They need to be regulated and kept in check. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Inside billionaire Peter Thiel’s private lectures: Warnings of ‘the Antichrist’ and U.S. destruction

In leaked recordings of private lectures by tech billionaire Peter Thiel he argued that “the Antichrist” is likely to take the form of a critic of technology.

Since Trump is quoting from Matthew these days - “Jesus said to him, ‘If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.’” (Matthew 19:21) www.franciscanmedia.org/franciscan-s...

The first beatitude Jesus declares is, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

The alignment of far right politicians with billionaire tech bros is at play.
The op ed is an illustration of why so many subscribers left the WashPo and so many journalists left the newspaper in disgust and dismay over what happened to a revered paper.

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 7d

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.

Doubtful that he has read the Gospel According to Matthew or that he even knows the Beatitudes. I pray not only for peace but for the end of apartheid in Israel, a fair two-state border following the Green Line, and a Marshall Plan for Palestine. سلام - shalom - salam
