They're ransacking our current financial, security, social & political systems while replacing them w/ techno recreations of monarchical/feudal systems: self-then-gods-ordained sovereigns + an in-favor aristocracy who rule over conquered lands, riches, & peoples forced into perpetual servitude.

Instead of cutting health care costs, MAGA leaders reportedly cut a deal with Marjorie Taylor Greene to vote on her bill that would throw doctors & parents in jail for providing health care for young trans people.

"Put us at serious risk of authoritarianism, ethnic cleansing, lawlessness." Worse. Incubated in tech labs awash in Ayn Rand exceptionalism, they've believed only they are worthy of the spoils & control over humanity they're manifesting via corpo-crypto-fascist network states to replace the US, etc.
"They have betrayed the values that made that society great, values which they apparently only ever held superficially"
If more Americans understood even half the basic facts in this article, we'd be halfway to defeating the scourge of billionaires.

So let’s say it as is - US media is now a source disinformation that’s far more effective than RU media since you cannot even compare the reach and respect the US outlets receive worldwide.

They want as many of us gone as possible. The question we have to be asking is why? What goal are they trying to achieve by doing this? No, not the one they say it is; the real one. Why get rid of hundreds of thousands of us? What's in it for them?

1) A party whose focus is "affordability" is a party that will fail to exact consequences on this regime once (if) they get back in power.
2) Also, just who are they trying to reach with this "affordability" angle? (SMH. They're gonna sell out us Dem voters yet again, aren't they?)

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.
