 Forgot how to fuckin sleep. 

Wtf? 
 @46cd5609 too much wrestling 
 @00d8736d as Tesla quietly creates a multi national international monopoly on EV charging infrastructure 
 @549838b7 so that’s part of the plan to fight climate change and also balance the books, gifting money to the wealthy to crank out more fossil fuels? 
 @826f7fe1 #Turkey & #Hungry really need to figure out if they are with #Nato or they are with #russia
Btw how the hell does nato kick a country out? 
 @339afc2d perhaps politicians have been lying about what they stand for, for a very long time since many have stood by and not done a damn thing or worse engineered much of this.
It’s a sane justice naive world 
 @8935d76e #romania is a #nato country #russia are thumbing their nose at nato and laughing 
 @9f886805 excellent write up, as usual, on substack by this author on the situation in #ukraine 
 This is how our government has been corrupted:

It is known 
 If you make the median #income or below a massive portion of your #money goes to #housing #rent #food and #transportation #gas 
Those costs suck, so those metrics that keep getting trotted out don’t mean a damn for tens of millions of Americans not to mention #healthcare and people suffering from the issues of #covid 
So for the #election?
Maybe focus on #ukraine and #abortion & #democracy if you want #biden to win 
 Just hush about this “great #economy b.s.”

Market consolidation means these monopolies will crank up prices for profits on any excuse

 @62a04c04 #Fox hasn’t changed other #news #media have become more like fox in various ways.
Democratic government formed to rein in the problem with concentrated private power, well that’s the only way to fix this.
Pressure our elected government to fix it, they can regulate, tax, break up, investigate these companies & individuals until it gets better.
No, it’s not hands off the press, when the press is just billionaires propaganda machine bent on destroying democracy 
 @5ddb28e7 hell just call your #gop reps office to keep ‘em busy and give ‘em an earful

 @64a08a3c When you are chilling on the couch with friends, have some cocktails in you and someone clicks on a Harry Potter movie, well I have watched people react differently than I have seen the very same person react on Twitter 😂 
 @64a08a3c but yeah most of my queer friends are too busy living life to worry about it.
They are more concerned about the damn lunatic GOP 
 @133a688f Over the last 30 years the tolerance, acceptance and even promotion of such cognitive dissonance has built to this point.
It started with the indoctrination that #economics should be divorced from #ethics & #politics and moved on from there 
 @967c30a4 🤔 is it a #tesla only charging station expanding the hold #elon has on #ev infrastructure?
Cuz that really sucks

 @eaaa461f it’s almost like there is a massive amount of irrefutable evidence the #republican party isn’t supportive of #democracy 🤷‍♂️ 
 @4a23ad3a agreed, thank you for posting this

“A Clinton-era telecommunications law granted social media companies immunity from the libel laws that newspapers and TV stations have to follow. Now we’re living with the consequences: billionaires controlling what does and doesn't count as a lie.”

We really have to deal with the mess that is #billionaire controlled mass #media #news #information and #propaganda

#goverment isn’t #bigbrother
We have #bigtechbros in charge

 @2d669f94 yup, it’s nasty click bait and I think luluemon should probably sue 
 Bob Menendez. GD. Just goes to show that corruption has no profile. 
 @2a70c54d Also goes to show we need to investigate corruption more 
 @62a04c04 ok so this #rightwing #trump supporting #gop #radioshowhost was in occupied #ukraine as an #election observer during the #russia sham #elections
Someone please look into this jerks finances

 If you think #voting with your dollars isn’t important or that you can separate your #consumerism from #politics
You are wrong, it’s exactly trying to elevate #greed and pretending #economics is morally neutral that got us here

 @98042630 #Trump attacked the #media but ya know, they are pretty damn messed up.
The difference is, that people like myself want to see more #regulation enforcement of #antitrust laws to break up #monoplies and stronger #labor laws and pro #union #legislation to break the hold of a few rich pricks on the narrative and stop access #journalism over actual important work for #journalists 
 @d936fe90 careful about that “vote blue no matter who” thing.
The best option is to turn out in droves in the primaries and nominate better democrats 
Also vote for instant run off and ranked choice voting in local & state elections to fight this crazy extremism.

 @81faf05f completely valid 
 “The former Supreme Court lawyer for the Barack Obama administration and a Democratic senator-turned-lobbyist are pressuring justices to block Congress from ever instituting a wealth tax on the superrich…”

Pretty damn annoying #democrats slap this down ok cuz #billionaires are a danger to #democracy

 #superhero #movies are ridiculous primarily because they have rich people as the heros trying to save the world when in reality almost invariably they are the ones focused on destroying it.
Yeah sure iron man 🙄

 @a125d25e there is making money doing something and then there is robbing someone blind by over charging a locked in customer base 
 #healthcare #hospitals & #insurance are insane in #america

 $47,292.01 for a #hospital birth with zero complications out of pocket over 2,000$ are you crazy or just terminally greedy & corrupt?

 @d03d9b7e shocked I tell you I’m just shocked that the #democrats don’t even have a damn candidate 🙄🙄
Yet we will will here how it’s all up to the voters not the #dem party not the #dem big money donors not the big strategists, all of us just scrapping by well 🖕 
 @d6e4c7e0 and pretty dejected with the level of dysfunction, corruption and abject failure of the Texas gop that the Dems can’t seem to get their $hit together to make any headway in that state.

 @62a04c04 @a3d6e30a as the election season heats up, we will see waves of trolls here on the fediverse. I’m not sure folks are ready for it. The old timers on the fediverse despise such things and are going to go nuts. Those who fled from Twitter have a higher tolerance and may get caught in the crossfire
