James Talarico: “Instead of posting the Ten Commandments in every classroom, why don’t they post money is the root of all evil in every boardroom? Why don’t they post do not judge in every courtroom? Why don’t they post turn the other cheek in the halls of the Pentagon? Or it’s easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than to get into the kingdom of heaven on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange?”
Buttigieg: In a country that amended its constitution so you could not purchase a beer and then realized it was a bad idea and amended it back, surely we can have an amendment clarifying that a corporation is not a person and money is not speech.
The right wants us to believe that a teen who showed up at a Wisconsin rally with an AR-15 and shot three people is a peacekeeper who deserves to be celebrated, but an unarmed mom driving away from a Minnesota rally was a domestic terrorist who deserved to die.
If the Capitol Police had abided by the standards of MAGA commentators on the Minneapolis ICE shooting, half the January 6 protesters would have been shot to death.
The government smearing an American as a “domestic terrorist” after agents of the state murdered her, is stomach churning in a way I can’t really describe.
304 BILLION BARRELS.
That’s the real reason Venezuela matters.
Sky News just laid it out plainly: Trump’s Venezuela obsession was never really about drugs. It’s about oil, specifically heavy crude.
The U.S. now produces tons of light shale oil, but our Gulf Coast refineries were built for heavy, gloopy crude. They need it to function. And guess who has the largest proven reserves of heavy oil on Earth?
Venezuela.
Canada has some. Russia has some. But Venezuela has the most, 304 billion barrels sitting underground. That’s why tankers, sanctions, regime change talk, and now bombs.
It was never about fentanyl.
It was never about democracy.
It’s about feeding refineries, controlling supply, and locking down oil before rivals do.
America doesn’t hate socialism.
It hates shared socialism.
It practices socialism every time a crisis hits.
Just not for you.
Taxpayer money rescues banks.
Taxpayer money bails out corporations.
Taxpayer money props up billionaires who privatize the profit and socialize the debt.
The only thing America fears is the day the working class realizes they’ve been funding luxury communism for the rich.
What did Karl Marx predict?
He predicted that under unrestricted Capitalism money would be concentrated into the hands of a handful of individuals, that Governments would become controlled by the richest, and that wages would be subsistence level.
He was right.
Cancel all working class debt
Seize the banks
Get rid of landlords
Nationalize the Healthcare Industry
Reject the culture war and embrace class war. Socialism is the only way to truly challenge the power of the elites
