"Blatant antisemitism, now infiltrating Mar-a-Lago, #LGBTQ+ hatred including a mass shooting, AR-15s at protests -- the U.S. right has never been more dangerous

That's because they're losing

Pro- #democracy Americans can't let up now."

The far-right is losing. That’s why America has never been so dangerous.

A spike in antisemitism, violent protests, and politically fueled mass shootings is happening because the U.S. far-right is losing, and lashing out.

Billionaires like Elon Musk, Sam Bankman-Fried, Jeff Bezos...they're all the same. Promising to save the world -- then wrecking it with their cash-warped sociopathy

How can we take back our public spaces, from our schools to our Twitter? My new column https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/billionaire-chaos-musk-twitter-bankman-fried-20221120.html

Billionaires like Musk, Bankman-Fried didn’t save the world. They wrecked it. Let’s take it back

Messianic billionaires like Musk and Bankman-Fried have used their wealth to impose destructive ideals. We have the power to take back society.

Another great op/Ed by @willbunch in this mornings #philly #inquirer

"A democracy that truly flourishes is one in which workers can earn a living wage and thriving public schools life young people up where the air is breathable and injustice is stamped out."

Isn't that all of our wish?

It's called stochastic terrorism

After the dust settles from a mass murder at an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs with Saturday night drag shows, let's talk about how GOP pols like Ron DeSantis spent the election making drag shows Public Enemy No. 1

“That is not the way you look out for our children”: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Files Complaint About Drag Show Brunch And Kids

The complaint alleges that the Miami restaurant violated the state's public nuisance law.

Think of people around the world tonight who need Twitter to get their voices heard, to document human rights abuses and injustices, to get attention, expose war crimes, and more.

All of them could be about to be cut off because the world’s richest man wanted to own the libs.

MBS is allowed to get away with murder. Qatar is allowed to buy the World Cup -- and possibly wreck it.

Maybe don't let Gulf oil dictatorships run the world and tell us what to do?

Welcome @willbunch to #mastodon 
I said in May: Nothing is more important for democracy than beating Mastriano in Pa.

But that meant keeping silent as Josh Shapiro backed bad ideas: Vouchers, a corporate tax cut, amped-up gas drilling

It's time to push for a better Pa. My new column https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/josh-shapiro-pennsylvania-governor-progressives-20221117.html
Hey, Josh Shapiro, thanks for saving democracy. Now, ditch your bad campaign promises.

Progressives bit their tongues as Josh Shapiro beat an extremist for Pa. governor ... with GOP-lite proposals. They won't be silent now that he's won.
