"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini

I wouldn't quote Benito on much, but he sure knew what fascism was. Government by the rich.

Oh I needed that..

We’re really going to need some version of regional CDCs, like what already happened with Covid shot coordination, organized by Dem governors, or there will be no public health data or policy in this country.

RFK’s ascension was a top five fiasco of Trump 2.0.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Woah!!

Holy shit this opinion. Wow.

Maybe George Clooney should take a a full page add in NYT about why D j t should step down.

Good and bad news in New Jersey mail voting.

The good news: Ds are mail voting in far higher numbers, which is to be expected.

The bad news: Rs are returning their ballots at a higher rate, which could signal GOP enthusiasm.

NJ Dems need to return their mail ballots ASAP.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

Both Dr Charles and myself have shifted the central focus of our individual psychotherapy practices toward non-clinical community building and community group work.

We want to help others get started!

Two 90 minute discussions
For anyone who thinks they *should* but just isn’t.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Don’t look away!!

We really need commentators to actually start talking about WHAT WORKS in terms of pushing back and creating social change, instead of just telling us how bad/awful/terrible it all is with the occasional sprinkling of OH LOOK AT HOW TRUMP GOT BOOED AT THIS SPORTING EVENT.

I am just really over it.

If someone thinks child rape is funny, not only is their moral
compass f’d up, they’re an a hole. I mean really, harm / violence against the innocent and those that can’t defend themselves is the most heinous of crimes.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
