@QasimRashid the #GOP has fallen off the continuum on the Right into full #Fascism - they won't relinquish power just bc they lose an election

#CorporateMedia is all about access& ad revenue - they'll keep toeing the line

Today's #Democrats occupy the position the GOP used to hold re platform/policies, so #Workers are just sorta fucked here rn

All down to #CitizensUnited

@jeffowski We discussed economic inequality and it’s connection to corporate greed, big finance and the influence of money in politics during #OccupyWallStreet after #CitizensUnited was voted into law under the pretext of Free Speech.
It began in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Financial District, and lasted for fifty-nine days—from September 17 to November 15, 2011.

@georgetakei As bad as Roberts is, Thomas and the ghost of Scalia are as much to blame as anything or anyone for the horrible evil state of the Supreme Court today.

You ever wonder what Clarence and Ginny are going to do once Project 2025 makes race mixing illegal again?

Thanks for posting that! Saving for future shares
I've been trying to tell people this since #CitizensUnited
People told me to relax & stfu
No one wanted to hear that shit, so here we are

In the meantime I have learned that #Fascism is what we've been taught to call #capitalism when it's unregulated enough to treat ytpipo the way it's been treating #BIPOC folks the whole f'ing time

Now that they have amassed sufficient wealth, they have started to use it for regulatory capture. Lobbying, an end to progressive taxation, trickle-down economics, Ciziens United, and now their own pet fascist president. They are reasserting their *political* dominance of old, using fascist methodology.

@DemocracyMattersALot This is why #CitizensUnited matters.
And most people, even some who have worked in the WH, don't know that is why third parties are not possible.

If #Democrats wanted to appeal to #leftists, they'd talk about #EndCitizensUnited, #RankedChoiceVoting, #UniversalHealthcare, and #UniversalBasicIncome, but they don't want to talk about any of those things because they aren't profitable for Corporations. That is a FACT!

@carcosa @QasimRashid

We've all talked to death about how the #MAGA wing took over & warped the #RepublicanParty

We need to have the same conversation about how #CitizensUnited enabled #neoliberal #CorporateDemocrats to take over & warp the #DemocraticParty

It started out the party of Southern slaveholders & their lackeys - #autocrats #Oligarchs & enablers... it morphed into a coalition btw #Labor & #CivilRights flanks

Let's face it, the party's returning to its roots

@GottaLaff Laws serve money, not people. #CitizensUnited
