Thomas Dorr<p>It looks like D.C. has become a police state. I would like to remind people of the Bud Cubby quote:</p><p>“Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army. You know what I mean?”</p><p>This does carry all the worries about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/facism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>facism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/latestagecapitaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>latestagecapitaism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/empiresfall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>empiresfall</span></a></p>

They are parasitic entities that contribute nothing beneficial to society.

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Yes, it's fun to watch Newsom trolling Trump. Hell, let him do the California redistricting too. But so many people out there are so desperate to get rid of Trump that they'll uncritically glom onto anything that fights back, without even looking at their history, their political record, their policies, their public statements.</p><p>As president, he'll be a disaster, just as shitty as he's been as governor and mayor. And, no, I'm not talking about a few snubs to progressives, or even a even liberal, purity test. The guy has been a magician all his career, effectively posturing as a progressive, but then governing like an oligarch. He's consistently attacked unhoused people since he was mayor of San Francisco, in the early 2000s. Indeed, much of Trump's current anti-homeless policy and actions are right out of the Newsom playbook. Likewise, his anti-trans stance is nothing new, either.</p><p>Read the article below for details. Yes, it's a few years old, but it does a good job summarizing just a few of the ways he's betrayed both progressives and liberals in order to satisfy his wealthy allies. Behavior that will most likely continue as president, as the pressure from lobbyists &amp; corporate allies only intensifies.<br> <br><a href="https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2023/11/gavin-newsom-is-not-a-progressive" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">currentaffairs.org/news/2023/1</span><span class="invisible">1/gavin-newsom-is-not-a-progressive</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gavinnewsom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gavinnewsom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/potus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>potus</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transrightsarehumanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transrightsarehumanrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homeless</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>housing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>corruption</span></a></p>
