How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

🇺🇸 It’s the last of a 3-day, DC-based protest calling for impeachment of Trump and for the regime to step down. Music and speeches through the evening. Michael Fanone, John Pavlovitz, and Rep Al Green are among those inspiring the crowds from across country, including HoCo Indivisibles! 🧵🍃

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The submission is in. The argument laid down with utmost clarity. And surely, hopefully, the truth is incontestable: this land and its wildlife need protecting. And then the waiting. For years. Then finally, this month, India's Supreme Court made Saranda forest a sanctuary.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.
