Hey @wfmu.bsky.social why is some chat profile named snowweasel giving @creamocoyl.bsky.social a hard time for speaking truth to power? 🎙️📻✌️🙏✊
All freewheeling chat style forum bulletin boards eventually lead to the shopkeeper taking down your 3x5 plea due to deadlines and space and needing those push pins for the employee break room corkboard and whatnot
We'd recommend y'all tune in to @wfmu but their freeform chat board is less accurate than it appears 2 bee free speech only goes so far public private what have you gotta keep the spice flowing 💸

Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Given the chronic nature of white nationalist lawlessness & violence that has been a defining feature of U.S. history—& upon which this Money Laundering Court rests—we really ought to be thinking more carefully abt the way our system has protected & empowered these bad actors.
