I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Trump never had any, not a singular concept of shame, decency or equality. Never.
Before politics, New Yorkers knew exactly who Trump was,
a liar,
a con-artist,
a swindler
a filthy predator
and all around scumbag.
Today, the entire planet knows it
Except MAGA cult idolatrist.

⭐️ Excellent thought thread:
“In the decade since [Trump] became the singular influence on American politics, he has completely and thoroughly dispensed with concepts of shame, of decency, of equality.”

Donald Trump called for Jason Crow, a veteran and Congressman, to be put on trial and executed for reminding our troops to refuse illegal orders.
It’s dangerous. It’s unhinged. And it’s beneath the office of the president.
