They're casting out anyone who is not white & born American.. In 1930s/40s Germany that was done under the guise "For the Glory of the Reich", today in America it's "For the Glory of the Rich", an 'e' missing doesn't matter, fascism is fascism.. People seem to not realise that all it would take is the removal of DT and Musk to stop ALL OF THIS in an instant. Get to it!

'International classical pianist Jayson Gillham is one of the brave people who broke the unofficial prohibition on speaking out for Palestinians during a Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) hosted solo recital.

Not only did the MSO then drop him from a future concert, but it is now trying to have the discrimination case he brought against it dismissed.' greenleft.org.au/content/orche #IsraelFascism #auspol #Fascism #ZionismIsWhiteSupremacism #StopIsrael

#amazon and the other #broligarchs are so vile

I don't actually believe this report because I suspect all the smart speakers have been smart mic's all along, constantly recording people despite whatever agreements the company asserted.

Like, #tesla's surveillance tech has meant the company has been doing its own constant societal surveillance for years. Data says with the car, sure, but duhhhh I suspect corporate takes it too.

Fun fact: Musk was only hailed as a "genius" in the US because of unearned adulation in the media. In South Africa they never took him seriously.

And South Africa's ambassador to the US just correctly observed that Elon Musk's promotion of the far right in Europe is based in racist ideas.

Which caused Marco Rubio to throw him out of the country, Putin style, for excessive accuracy. God this is humiliating.

I'm saving a ton of money over the last year. Here's my secret:

-Cancelled NYT subscription
-Cancelled WaPo subscription
-Cancelled Amazon Prime
-Cancelled Spotify

Turns out I'm saving money and also giving my more directly to smaller businesses, true journalists, and artists.

Really not that hard, people.

And it's official. Too many crossovers, Schumer got his way.

If you wanted a focused list of people to primary for the Senate, now you have one:

Chuck Schumer
John Fetterman
Kirsten Gillibrand
Maggie Hassan
Catherine Cortez Masto
Jean Shaheen
Brian Schatz
Dick Durbin

Particularly disappointed in Cortez Masto, but really only so much.

Also voting yes were Gary Peters (retiring, no primary needed) and Angus King (who is NOT A DEMOCRAT, tho' he causes with them. He's an Independent, no primary possible)
