Remember when I first posted this 7 months ago?

But if that blue collar anti-oligarchy message came from a Southerner, someone who’s been riding the wave of a national movement that speaks directly to their struggles? Hooo boy. Let the deprogramming begin. 4/4

I know this, deep in my bones. So many people whom I love fell for Vance because he was a self-proclaimed “every man” from Appalachia. Many Southerners still carry a deep, old mistrust of “Yankees.” 3/4

The tour needs a Southern voice traveling with them. Southerners love seeing “one of their own” in the spotlight because it helps them feel relevant, powerful, not forgotten. That kind of messaging, paired with the energy of being part of something really big, could resonate with these folks. 2/4

Just a thought: the AOC/Bernie/Fight the Oligarchy tour really needs to make its way down South to the deep red “confederate states,” as a Threads user suggested.
pointed out. These states might be seen as a lost cause, but they should take a cue from Jimmy Carter’s legacy. 1/4

Absolutely! Kilmar deserves every bit of attention and awareness that he's gotten, but I can't help but be horrified for all the others who don't have nearly the resources or advocacy behind them.

Trump’s presidency, his domestic and global policies, China, and pervasive narratives on the right and left. In this episode, he dives into recent events, DOGE, Musk, the relationship between Trump and Hitler, and important historical Marxists.

Richard Wolff, Economics professor at University of Massachusetts Amherst, discusses the downfall of the American empire and the future of the United States as a result of…

The administration promised a second “Golden” (Gilded) Age. Is this part of the robber barons’ scheme to push out competition and public infrastructure advances? 🧐

Posting here because I’m pretty sure it was shadow banned on Threads. #siemens #augustínescobar #highspeedrail

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.

We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

“Paying a lot of taxes,” huh? That’s doubtful.

Image text: If you thought Project 2025 was bad... Check out CURTIS YARVIN, who believes: • Modern democracy is dead and inherently flawed. • A radically centralized, dictator/ monarch-like or CEO-style government would provide more order and efficiency. • Running the state like a business would cut through bureaucratic red tape. • Historical systems, even those involving slavery, are claimed to have offered "discipline and stability". "Dark Enlightenment" thinkers like Yarvin have influenced Trump's administration, specifically JD Vance and his mentor & donor Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and Michael Anton.

Anytime I’ve traveled overseas and returned to the states, it’s a shock to be confronted with ads for pharmaceuticals on the TVs and around the airport.

Amen to that.

I think it will eventually be added as a feature, but currently you can’t. If it’s worth it to you, I’ve learned that there are 3rd party apps (Skeets) that allow you to edit your Bluesky posts from within their apps.

Oh man. I was singing my heart out to this song as a 7 year old girl. It’s no wonder I turned into leftist/progressive. Not sure why my family is still so bewildered by that.

You probably meant “life” in the first sentence, but it still checks out. Immigrants and workers were sold a lie. I empathize with your consideration to move. I feel the same.

Please enjoy this infographic. Perfectly shareable for stories. ☺️

“Musk is described as a ‘Senior Advisor to the President’ as a special government employee and is not an employee of DOGE.”

This is what happened when the USSR collapsed. The government broke. The only actors left were oligarchs. And bit by bit they bought the valuable assets of the government - industry etc. became oligarchs & made Putin king.

It’s a hostile takeover, business usurping government & democracy.

Fascism.
