All this week I've written about how here in IL, dark money and MAGA aligned PACs are spending absurd sums of money to prop up establishment corporate Dems while attacking progressive Dems who are actually willing to fight.
MSNOW has the scoop on just how deep this goes:

where’s my money 😔
Under capitalism, new technology isn’t mainly about freeing workers. It’s used to raise profits by tightening control over workers, simplifying jobs, and weakening worker power.
The number of legal abortions in Poland doubled in 2024, while complaints to Polish authorities over conscience clause refusals in the country have apparently ceased. The government had told hospitals they are obliged to provide abortion on the legal grounds of a woman's mental health.
You've all heard of the Resource Curse: countries are impoverished by rich resources in their territories, as these trigger colonial looting.
Now we see the Base Curse: if you host a US base, you don't enhance your security. You make yourself a target.
I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.
Sweetie, we’re in a war now with the US and Israel genociding Iran. And I didn’t mention this before but the US seems quite set on a genocide of everyone not a Trump voter
do you realize the plans for "greater Israel" were in development longer than biden or trump were president?
Right her campaign promise was quite literally that she wouldnt do anything different except be toughter on "crime" and "immigration" her campaign promises were only for the Republicans she was stupid enough to try to poach.
If she was really going to do that, why didn't she make that her campaign promise?
that is not policy. that is rhetoric and it was too little too late.
he did the same thing biden was doing.
again, why was it reasonable for biden and Harris to keep murdering kids instead of appealing to their base?
first of all, you can't make it worse than genocide.
second, you didn't answer the question. why didn't kamala and biden agree to stop bombing children? why was it unreasonable to ask them to stop and why isn't it their fault they didn't.
Its always been the Department of War, Morgan. The American Empire has never not been at war. And the Democratic Party has always been fine with that. What we are telling you is that we're tired of "the lesser evil" of whichever empty suit the DP chooses
you can not blame leftists and anti-genocide protesters for kamala's loss without first explaining why asking them to stop arming and protecting a genocide was not a reasonable request.
You were ok with people being gruesomely slaughtered in Palestine with your dollars as long as you felt you would be fine, & you thought their being slaughtered was a price you could pay to keep what you believed was a democracy, which was not a democracy when only slaughter was on the table.
By stupid white men who want women to look like little girls.
Help your friend understand that it’s very rare for actresses to not live under the oppressive misogyny of US culture that they are revolting for a variety of ever-evolving reasons

I'm trying to think of 5.
Kathy Bates
Cameron Manheim
Liv Tyler
Jennifer Hudson

Seriously.
Watching a new series … it’s not important but, is there an actress in Hollywood that weighs more than 18 lbs.? Asking for a friend …
Presidents come and go.
But a corrupt Senator will milk The People for over 30 years.
Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."

"CHILDREN" is the heading for this part of the book, which I found extremely validating. My goal in life is to save democracy, and it's for them, not for me, and it's because I love them so much and want so much for them to live free. https://www.youtube.com/@timothysnyder5948 https://substack.com/@snyder?utm_source=global-search

"Every single one of those children of the 2020s is just as much an American as Jefferson or Franklin or Washington. And in a sense they are more important, for their lives, in freedom or unfreedom, are America's future."
