No Kings, No Corporations: Rejecting Authoritarian and Corporate Rule | Common Dreams

As we protest authoritarianism this Saturday—and legitimately condemn the many anti-democratic and unjust actions of Trump—let us also remember the tyranny of our corporate overlords who have been—perhaps more quietly but not less aggressively—eroding our democracy.

There are some lefties who think they'd be able to do good in such a gathering

#MoveToAmend was advocating supporting a Constitutional convention

Sadly, #Kapital will be all ready to eat their lunch

Wisconsin Supreme Court race already most expensive in U.S. history

At least $8.8 million has been spent since the Feb. 21 primary election, putting the total spending tally from the start of the primary election race to Tuesday at $18 million — breaking the record of the country’s most expensive judicial race, previously set in 2004 in Illinois at $15 million, with five weeks still to go until the April 4 general election.

Both parties -- and #darkmoney superpac's -- pour out-of-state money into elections because the stakes are high and *because they can*.

It is beyond time to roll back #citizensunited and related corruption promoting Supreme Court decisions, wether by Constitutional amendment ( see #MoveToAmend ) or #rebalancing #SCOTUS

Wisconsin's Supreme Court race is already the most expensive in U.S. history, and there are still 5 weeks to go

Democrats are pouring millions into liberal Janet Protasiewicz’s campaign while Republicans are spending to back conservative Daniel Kelly.

On FB #MoveToAmend passed on a tweet by #RoberReich about all the tax evasion by the super rich. I wouldn't have paid attention to it but some people I know got to discussing this news and it made me think about #EKHunt's #TheInvisibleFoot , #AdamSmith's values, a recent mastodon post, and #NoamChomsky's classic speach #DemocracyAndEducation
