The 1% wealthiest people on the planet are funding a seditious conspiracy, & getting away with it.

Trump was shielded until Koch announced that Trump had lost favor.

Patronage by Republican billionaires means evading financial regulation, taxation, pollution laws, & ignoring national security & defense.

It means working with foreign adversaries like Saudi Arabia and Russia to wage war on democracies like Ukraine.

Koch network looking away from Trump in GOP presidential primary

"The best thing for the country would be to have a president in 2025 who represents a new chapter," a letter from the organization's CEO, Emily Seidel, said.

Absolutely horrifying. I don't even want to live here anymore.

This 5th Circuit ruling that history requires that domestic abusers get access to guns says the quiet part out loud: the current Supreme Court's jurisprudence pretty much says that every form of subordination and oppression that was permitted when a constitutional provision was adopted must be allowed today.

Man, I really miss politicians having the ability to feel shame, @Santos4Congress.

@derrickrossignol okay that explains it. The biggest issue I always have with the grammys is they tend to go to whoever is deemed the most popular in the moment and not necessarily who put out the best music. I rarely watch anymore because of that.

@derrickrossignol when you have Adele winning everything over #KendrickLamar I honestly question your music taste. Fluff should never beat substance imho. Adele is a good singer but not very original in the pop genre. Meanwhile every Kendrick album tells a whole story, has a different style, and quite honestly blows Adele away creatively. You put your opinion out there. This is mine.

@Beatlesandworms one of my favorites in Kendrick's catalog. All of his albums are different and all of them are brilliant. I tend to prefer the classics when it comes to hip hop but KDot is truly gifted.

It's been a while guys. Feels like the bird app is crumbling under the sheer stupidity of the new owner. I give it another 3 months before it's a TOTAL shitshow.

Meanwhile, I'm using this thing called Movetodon.org to follow as many of you as I can at once while I still can (Musk will no longer allow it next week).

I hope this Movetodon works. 🤞
