The US is not a democracy; it's an oligarchy.

Trump's billionaire oligarch Epstein-linked friends spent tens of millions of dollars, in the most expensive House primary race in history. And they won.

Why? Congressman Thomas Massie pushed to release the Epstein files, opposes the war on Iran, and called to end weapons shipments to Israel. He is one of the very few anti-war voices in Congress, and he criticized Trump from within the Republican Party. So they wanted his head.

Massie's billionaire-funded, Trump-backed opponent, Ed Gallrein, is a shady pro-war former Navy SEAL who strongly supports the imperialist war on Iran.

Massie said billionaire oligarchs were trying to "buy" his seat. He was right. And they just succeeded.

Massie is a libertarian Republican, and he and I have many, many political differences. We disagree on lots of issues. But this is not about that.

What this shows is that US capitalist oligarchs completely control the political system. If there is a politician they don't like -- not just leftists, but even the few conservatives who oppose US imperialist wars -- capitalist oligarchs will flood the race with money, spread propaganda and disinformation, and win the "election".

There is no democracy in the US. There is only capitalism.

The Massie primary is a bleak reminder of Congress’ utter failure to check executive power (the whole point of Congress!). One of the only members to occasionally stand up to his own party’s president is facing a tight race against candidate handpicked *by that same president*

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

There it is. With Massie’s defeat, If you’re against pedophiles and child trafficking, if you oppose illegal wars of aggression or even MILDLY criticize Israel, there is no place for you in the Republican Party. That is now a fact. The fascist terrorist imperialist death cult is doing what it does. The cult is culting.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

If the AIPAC/Adelson crowd wants someone out of Congress for disloyalty to Israel, they will be out of Congress.

There are a few exceptions due to unusual districts, but not many. The Israel Lobby has unlimited funding and will spend limitlessly to expunge the blasphemous.

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

I don’t know if people understand that what the Trump regime is doing is historic. They are looting the treasury right in front of our eyes as they collapse the economy and start illegal wars of aggression. The corruption is so severe and brazen that it truly boggles the mind to take it all in.

@celticsblog I had no expectations going into this season, yet somehow still left feeling disappointed by how it ended.

CHLORAMPHENICOL IS BANNED IN THE US BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE FATAL APLASTIC ANEMIA IN HUMANS

BUT DON’T WORRY, THE US HAS INCREASED BEEF IMPORTS FROM ARGENTINA —WITHOUT IMPLEMENTING MANDATORY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN LABELING REQUIREMENTS!

@AOC @kenklippenstein It will be the same ones who voted to end the lock down plus a few more. Schumer is too much of a corporate cuck to pull wall streets cock out of his mouth long enough to do a right thing.

[illChuloBlanco @SolCollins]

@RepJeffries Grow some fucking balls. and vote to abolish ICE you corporate cuck.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good.

I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @JasmineForUS to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification, and ensure ICE has independent oversight.

ICE's use of force policy released under FOIA was almost completely redacted until it was accidentally released in court filing un-redacted. Read it here: https://t.co/TE9CiWRPKZ

He didn't kill her because he was scared.
He killed her because she wasn't .

[Cameron 🇺🇸 🗽🦅 @CameronCorduroy]

here's an example of what it looks like when someone's actually trying to run people over

but they'll defend this because it has nothing to do with self defense or fearing for one's life, they just want ICE to kill people they don't like

[Olga Lautman 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @OlgaNYC1211]

Just a reminder: these photos federal agents are taking are part of a growing surveillance state with no oversight. Agents use facial recognition, phone tracking, license plate readers, and fused government databases built by contractors like Palantir. What was tested on immigrants is now expanding to citizens.

[illChuloBlanco @SolCollins]

It doesn't matter what the facts are.
Remember, the current POTUS administration has plenary authority and ICE agents have absolute immunity as long as you are killing anyone left of fascist.

@DCPandC Sacked two plays in a row at that.
How can Beamer not fire Shula after this game??
