Great Leap Forwards

@rbreich.bsky.social, you spelled Trickle-Up incorrectly. And it's working precisely as intended, it's working perfectly well for those at the top.

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always." ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi

Houston billionaires Rich and Nancy Kinder pledge to give away 95% of wealth to charities Houston billionaires Rich and Nancy Kinder told ABC13's Melanie Lawson they plan to donate an astounding 95% of their multi-billion-dollar wealth to charities.

This is a great example for the obscenely wealthy to follow.

"So many of the divisions in this state and in this country [and in the world] are manufactured by billionaires who want us fighting each other instead of fighting them... ...the biggest divide in our politics is not left versus right, it's top versus bottom."

Rolling global general strikes until the world is governed of, by and for the people.

Non violent non cooperation is the only way.

To quote the late great Yogi Berra, this feels like Déjà Vu all over again.

We need a modern-day FDR:

Trickle-up economics works brilliantly.

God speed! Thanks for your continued efforts and I know you will, but please keep fighting the good fight!

Lies, damn lies, and statistics. Memes indicate bias, especially when they're unsupported by citations that include context. Like rate or per capita, or time-based trend statistics. Then you need to correlate policy to the results you're implying.

Posting what you posted is dishonest.

"What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

And when the last law was down where would you hide, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, if you cut them down, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?"

Oh, the media are doing their job alright. It's just that the job description has changed. No longer is there a Fourth Estate tasked with objectively informing an electorate. Their new role is to spew sensationalism and foment divisiveness to generate clicks, views and ad revenue. Making $ is job 1.

Global rolling general strikes until the powers that be acquiesce and there are governments of, by and for the people.

We're taxed around the world without representation as we as individuals do not have the means to buy politicians and policy.

Non-violent non-cooperation is the only way.

PS And lest I forget Tom Stoppard: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead - with a young Gary Oldman and a young Tim Roth - and a guilty pleasure, Shakespeare In Love.

For me, the tipping point was Kenneth Branagh's Henry V followed shortly thereafter by his Much Ado About Nothing.

It's all about timing, I was the right age and had the right mindset.

To thine own self be true.

"When a man has wealth as massive as the black mountain, he piles it up and gathers it in and seeks more, but he can eat no more than his portion."

The Book of Dede Korkut

Excessive wealth is avarice, it's a disorder. It's anti-social. It should be corrected, not celebrated.

My guess is he'll end up in Saudi Arabia, exiled either self-exile or otherwise.

But her emails!

The performative hate and divisiveness must continue unabated to keep the grift and money train flowing.

You're all missing the point. Trump and both his Federalist and Billionaire masters/partners don't care. Right now, he's their greatest conduit to power, and they'd sell their own mothers to sustain trickle up economics.

Killmeade is a means to that end, Kimmel is not. 1 stays, the other is gone.

Yes, you fired up an account yesterday and just happened to come across a candidate for the House. How serendipitous for you.

"She wants murderers and rapists in our community." You remember posting that strawman pap, correct?

iCE is not coordinating with state and local, it's arbitrarily using administrative warrants in the spot, targeting without probable cause. That's unconstitutional and you and I both know it.

Posting such strawman foolishness makes you look, well, foolish. You're in no position to declare what she or anyone else "wants". But if we're playing that game, it's much more apparent that she wants an end to targeting people for the skin color in unConstitutional fashion, and an end to genocide.

PS I see your account is a whopping one day old and you've already targeted a political candidate.

Things that make you go "hmmm". 🤔

The trickle up economics supports parasites who don't realize they're killing the host and will die with it. Or they don't care, same end result.

History is replete with examples of the unsustainabilty of this modern age of Pharoahs and Marie Antoinettes.

The average % of GDP contribution is 2%. US pays a little more than the average, not the most, yet can't provide its citizens with quality healthcare, quality education, and general quality of life. You're saying the US isn't good enough or smart enough. I agree. Trickle-up economics ain't working.

Commendable but futile. He generates viewers for Fox, he's going nowhere.

We need massive boycotts of Fox News advertisers until they fire him. That's the only way.

They ARE doing their jobs. The problem is, most of us don't realize that the Fourth Estate's job description has changed from objectively reporting facts to generating profit. And Trump is their gravy train so they will ride that train as long as they can.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social seems incredibly earnest, loving, caring, and unafraid to speak truth to power so I am afraid for him. History is replete with the martyrdoms of those who spoke truth to power. That said, if I had a vote in Texas, it's a no-brainer.

Stephen Miller is another of the cynical MAGA "leadership" who are clinically mentally disordered, unscrupulous, amoral and without honor.
