"For the love of money is the root of all of evil" America took that warning, called it capitalism, and built a nation upon it.

I note that the percentage of horror movies as product has doubled since 2014, I suspect the rise in downbeat material matches the global zeitgeist

Pre-Covid EU economists’ study concluded there was about $24T in unaccounted-for (dark) money in the global system, this “unaccounted for” money explains the bizarre scheme the DOW has become, etc. then w citizens united, buying the govt was an obvious move

[barbarism critic @barbarismcrit]

They’re dumping $34 million into this race. Serious question, is the money we’ll just infinite or will they run out at some point. This shit is so gross. I don’t get how anyone thinks we live in a democracy even by liberal standards.

[writerofwrongs @3rdpoint]

This is often the case for over two thousand years, but if you’ve ever met one of these grifters w the forced smile and empty eyes, you know every religious figure that taught “you when ur grasping for $ you’re gaining only illusion” was right

[QE Infinity @StealthQE4]

So serious question:

What’s the incentive to do the right thing anymore?

Everyone that does the right thing loses.

Everyone that grifts, cheats, and steals wins.

Our financial system is filled with nothing but crooks and thieves that are unregulated by anyone.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.

There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.

Dems need to learn this.

Mike didn’t live under FDR, maybe his grandparents did, saved democracy

[Tom Colicchio @tomcolicchio]

You realize this is not socialism. Social programs that benefit people, which I agree with is different than Government controlling production and nationalizing banks.

Her husband was a philanderer who hung w Epstein, rather than create her own original space in the world, she couldn’t vacate the vicinity of all that dirty money - and it’s one big reason she isn’t in the White House

[moe tkacik @moetkacik]

Missed this Juneteenth weekend: Hillary Rodham Clinton, declaring in the FT There Is No Alternative to Palantir Auschwitz in Gaza. And you've gotta hand it to her brilliant reasoning: "If even I, an implacable opponent of President Trump, can accept that this is the best option in a terrible situation, surely others can too?" Recall this is the lady who said she liked Trump 2 much better than 1, a sentiment shared by probably 0.6% of the population. The problem is that poor Gaza is currently being "held hostage" by: no, not the most demonic pair of psychos since Pol Pot & Pinochet, not an insolvent & incontinent legally blind faded casino mogul of an empire being sucked dry by a hideous golddigger with no morals, but: "a particular kind of diplomatic paralysis that sets in when governments decide that the perfect is the enemy of the possible." Oh yeah bc Steve witkoff and the guy who invested $2 billion in WeWork are such famous diplomacy perfectionists. My god what they must have on these people to debase themselves this way.

I don’t think corp dem’s want to teach anybody a lesson, that takes effort, collecting ur corporate paycheck, now that’s worthwhile

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Well, maybe Democratic "centrists" and the corporate donors should rally behind him instead of doing what they've done, which is to do everything to destroy and smear him.

But, I think they actually will sacrifice Platner and Maine to teach "the progressives" a lesson.

Also, run a better candidate than Mills next time, but, nope, they won't change.

[writerofwrongs @3rdpoint]

Ike had a very similar take, that’s why I tell my “republican” associates that the Republican Party is dead, it actually left America under ur hero Reagan

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Abdul El-Sayed: “Every dollar we send abroad to drop a bomb on another kid is a dollar we don’t spend here to invest in your kid’s school or your healthcare. The reason our economy is rigged so we have a trillionaire and the average person can’t afford their basic life is because we have an economy where we’ve allowed big corporations to buy and sell politicians to rig the system against us”

[writerofwrongs @3rdpoint]

Love this; “I was too depressed to work, but not so depressed that I couldn’t rake in some dough” - if you are familiar with clinical depression, you would know that’s not how it hits

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

I’ll also point out that Tom Kean is saying he was apparently too depressed to show up and vote, but not depressed enough to stop abusing his office by insider trading while he was away.

I’m not sure I buy this story, but our government is ridiculous.

[writerofwrongs @3rdpoint]

@MarcoFoster_ @DarializaforNY About “readers note of $3.8 Billion to Israel a year,” the number is about $22B since 2023.

[writerofwrongs @3rdpoint]

It can be about a precise, personal world view, an odd reminiscence or even a bizarre non-sequitur; because they’ve been established that way, the audience accepts that as “natural” for them.

[writerofwrongs @3rdpoint]

Want to make a point about “dialogue for ur characters should sound natural, they should say what they would say” - do not confuse this w/ sounding like ur neighbor Gary. If that was the case we’d all be hanging w/ Gary in his garage. A Chris Walken

[Hollywood Script Reader @HwoodScrptReadr]

Bookmarking and reposting. This is gold. GOLD, I TELL YOU, GOLD!

[writerofwrongs @3rdpoint]

Character does not talk like ur neighbor or about things ur neighbor talks about, but it always sounds natural, for him. The perk of writing is that early on u create characters and can give them odd interests, or quirky world views, so when they converse

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

If corporations want the rights of individuals so they can donate money in elections, then those corporations and executives should also be held legally accountable like individuals when they poison our air, food, and water; steal our wages, and let people die by denying them healthcare.

[writerofwrongs @3rdpoint]

If it wasn’t for the hypocrisy congress wouldn’t do anything at all

[dan d @DanJDeBrak]

I'm always for being open about mental health, but important context is that Kean, as a state rep, voted against the New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act, which established 40 hours of sick leave for employees a year.

Kean just took *4 months* of paid sick leave.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

If you want to understand how the Supreme Court today further legalized corruption, watch this video - and pass it on. It's all about the case.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Conservative Justices, put on the Supreme Court by a right-wing, billionaire-funded dark money group, just lifted spending limits on how much money can be anonymously spent to buy politicians and elections.

This isn't a democracy, it's now an auction.

Dr oz sold vitamins as a grift, thanks @oprah !

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

Let's say Dr. Oz is correct in that 40% of ACA enrollees don't use their insurance in a given year.

He jumps to the odd conclusion that's evidence of fraud in the system.

Show of hands — have you avoided going to the doctor because of expensive copays?

[writerofwrongs @3rdpoint]

Carville concocted a plagiarism “dirty trick” to get Biden to drop the ‘92 primary, his candidate wasn’t supposed to win, when he did he was over his head. A psych major would say; doing an intern in the Oval was a desire 2 be caught n be politically neutered

[Rafael Shimunov 🍉 🕎 @rafaelshimunov]

James Carville's net worth is $6M and he's married to a Republican strategist who was a top advisor to Dick Cheney. They both profit from the status quo of us not being able to afford health care, rent, child care and education.

[writerofwrongs @3rdpoint]

Corporations revile democracy, their ayn randian mantra; empowering the average schmuck is an absurd drag on the accumulation of power in the hands of the few. Power collected needs to be used. The DNC clearly wants to pursue its own agenda

[David Dayen @ddayen]

Harold Meyerson writes that instead of picking apart democratic socialists, maybe the Democratic Party can understand that the economic policies they're selling to the public are rather popular.
