"Her Notes predated modern examples by almost a century! Written in 1842, they were utilised by mathematician Alan Turing in 1946 to conceptualise the first computer."

The American experiment has been infected by oligarchs How our tax system guarantees extreme wealth concentration.

an oligarchy virus “was embedded in America’s economic DNA... waiting for the appropriate conditions to reveal itself,” “And then we created those conditions, unleashing it to infect our institutions... and democracy, replicate, and burst forth to infect anew.”

"CAP’s approach is already on the move in Montana, where local organizers have drafted and submitted a constitutional initiative for voters to consider in 2026—the first step in a movement built to spread nationwide."

Okay now can we get rid of Schumer as minority leader

The nice thing about a $10 million wealth cap and not having poor people or insanely wealthy people:
- no concentrated poverty
- no concentrated wealth
- no means testing
- hard to marginalize groups
- hard for capital to capture government
- capital is democratized
- *all* labor is honored

The reality is that those with everything bought the media and convinced the rubes to vote for people who would help them keep everything. So, we don’t tax the wealthy. Instead, we worship capitalism and funnel our wealth upward to them.

We don’t support each other because that would be “socialism”

NO MORE BILLIONAIRES
PERIOD

hmmmm "largest single-day protest in US history". Now why would a large corporation withhold information from the public, and spin something to be something other than it is? Surely that has never happened before. We can have billionaires, or we can have democracy.

This is my collection of #NoKings events from around Montana. The huge crowds across the country are amazing, of course, but the people who showed up in their local parks and on their hometown sidewalks are my heroes. They deserve to be seen and counted. I was proud to stand among them. 1/n #MtPol

Protesters line the streets in Hamilton,
MT for the latest No Kings demonstration. Hamilton, a town of around 5,000 residents, is in Ravalli County, which favored Trump by a 41-point margin in 2024.

Love to see this in deep red Montana.

"Capitalism in its current form is completely broken." Yes, but its been true for centuries. Extraction and exploitation for profit, and the attendant concentration of wealth, is and always has been a recipe for disaster. We can do better.

Christine Lagarde’s sober tone on the Gulf war energy shock Christine Lagarde warns that risks from the Iran war are underestimated, with energy disruption potentially lasting years and limited fiscal space for response.

The collapse of systems of domination & extraction is an inside job in that the worldview of strength through force, safety through extraction, and avoidance of sharing through growth has always held the seeds of its own destruction within itself. It can't be otherwise in an interconnected system.

If every top Democrat doesn’t immediately condemn this threat of war crimes and collective punishment, without any ‘process’ BS complaints, then they should be primaried instantly. They’ll be complicit in this crime if they don’t speak out. Tainted forever.

Not familiar, but from Wikipedia: "The book ends by suggesting that narratives ... in which western civilization is ... the highest point of achievement to date ... are largely myths...". I say a civilization facing existential crises could hardly be considered the highest point of achievement.

Taxes? For billionaires? Do you mean at or above the same rate as regular Americans? From Oxfam, 2026: Billionaires in the U.S. often pay a lower tax rate than teachers and nurses. Thanks to a tax code that favors income from wealth over income from work—and a slew of tax-avoidance strategies.

"At the meeting, Manzella said if she understood the information relayed to her by the Secretary of State’s Office, she believes state officials turned over voter rolls with redacted driver’s license numbers but unredacted partial Social Security Numbers."

On Pence: "His reward? Trump did nothing while a mob threatened to hang Pence." If Vance was enough of an idiot to throw behind Trump....well...

The thing is, Julia is a fantastic language.

You forgot billionaires.

We will need 60 senators to impeach him, Montana. Who do you trust to do that?

My money is on Reilly Neill or Michael Black Wolf…..

#DefeatBodnar

He danced around important questions in a CNN interview the other day.
Seems like a John Fetterman type of guy. He will be a republican NOT an independent.

Quit being fooled by a wolf in sheep's clothing!

We can have billionaires, or we can have democracy. Money is power, and no single small group should have too much of it. Shall we tax billionaires to millionaires?
