Someday, I will share my experience on that other platform. I have a long history there. But for now, we celebrate one another. It's great to meet you again for the first time.

My friends, the truth was provided many times to you.

There are no lonely men, or women, or otherwise.

There are people who have come to a new place of being.

They haven't rejected anyone.

They're embracing it all.

Everyone is heard.
Everything gets represented.

Zionism is a far right ideology.
They are the most successful segregationists in history.

White folks in america want a segregated state like that for themselves.

We should retire billionaires.

Send them all to an island where they can live their days as gods while the rest of the world carries on with regular order.

Make it like a hall of fame for business owners. Make it so they'd want to go.

We dont need them for anything.
We can figure it out.

Sisyphus, but for obscenely wealthy people - every day they generate untold wealth and then it all gets distributed to the population and they have to get up and do it again tomorrow.😈

The obscenely wealthy tell us they have unique wealth-generating powers, so let them prove it every day

The dems aren't responsible for zionism. They are the victims of zionism.

Billionaires are where your money goes to die. When they hold onto those billions, it hampers our economies. If you distributed those billions to citizens, they will spend it, and it will keep your economy strong. Those billions will become trillions. Everyone will benefit in that economy. Everyone.

Very Reaganesque... newrepublic.com/article/1723...

It’s All but Settled: The Reagan Campaign Delayed the Release of the Iranian Hostages

Suspicions have long swirled around unscrupulous campaign manager William Casey. We believe the evidence is now overwhelming.

Netenyahu knew that the harder he hit Gaza, the more americans would sit out the election.

People who did that gave him a green light for genocide.

People who think Trump is different than netenyahu are not paying attention to zionism.

Yeah, this is becoming A Thing. And it's so obnoxious.

As Jeffries and to a lesser extent Cory Booker get it too.

When ironically almost certainly the reason they're all so even-keeled is because black people are pressured to *avert* this trope if they want to be successful in white collar work.

Not enough swear words and shitposting memes.

And I wish I was being snarky in saying that.

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

Wealth taxes are the way to repair the damage caused by billionaires.

Billionaires will get over it.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 3h

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.
