The Road from ‘Citizens United’ to Trump, Musk & Corruption

A ‘naïve’ #SupremeCourt delivered lawless #greed & #cruelty. We’ll have to save ourselves, if we can.

"The court’s 5–4 #CitizensUnited decision, allowing unlimited corporate, interest-group, & individual spending on elections, did trigger dire predictions... But even the most pessimistic among them fell short of imagining #American reality today."

Headline from The Bulwark: The Road from ‘Citizens United’ to Trump, Musk, and Corruption A ‘naïve’ Supreme Court delivered lawless greed and cruelty. We’ll have to save ourselves, if we can. by Jill Lawrence Mar 10, 2025

“Notably, [Martin Luther] King, especially in the last few years of his life, drew attention to the three-headed evil that has plagued Western civilization: racism, materialism, and militarism."

Companies in #America are already making a pathetic impression. As if they had been waiting for this, they are getting rid of all the achievements of the last few years in terms of #diversity, #equality and social justice. #Profit and #greed simply know no ethical and human values. The #MAGA disciples just don't understand the consequences. Pathetic characters.

THIS IS THE ENERGY & FOCUS ON TRUTH AND ACTIVATING MASSES THAT WE NEED, TO EMERGE FROM THE TRAUMA & #DISINFORMATION

A screen shot on X, posted by Ben Maiselas / Meidas Touch An insert /thumbnail shows a YouTube Video with Bernie Sanders: "WHOA! Bernie BRINGS THE HOUSE DOWN AT PAC.." Introducing the video, Ben Meiseles: "Senator Bernie Sanders delivered a powerful speech before a packed crowd in Kenosha, Wisconsin. 4,000+ showed and 1,000 + were in the overflow area. This is the type of energy and speech we’ve been waiting for. I’m glad we could cover it"

theguardian.com/commentisfree/ Families in the US are exhausted. They deserve a government that chooses them over billionaire donors. The Republican budget plan that passed the House last week calls for $4.5tn in tax giveaways for the ultra-rich and corporations. It will be paid for with enormous cuts to Medicaid, food assistance and other federal programs that serve our families and the working class. These are the folks Elon M$$k refers to as the “parasite class” #GOP #Inequality #Greed

OUR COMMON GROUND

"The Federal Home Loan Bank has become a de facto piggy bank for private equity and insurance companies."

"There is no oversight over how these loans are used."

"It’s as if a corporate giant shows up to a food bank and takes all the supplies."

Just in case you need to understand why they want to gut #HUD and sell off the pieces, except #FHEO. They have buried that part after a big fire.

Just saw this cartoon posted on the enshittified, dying legacy blogging platform a few worthwhile writers still use. The article says the cartoon is banned on the enshittified, dying legacy social media platform still used by a few worthwhile people - and a lot more worthless ones. (Hint: it's now owned by the cartoon's subject, Cylon Musk.)

Good cartoon, imo.

Cartoon showing three starving people with begging bowls, captioned "World's Poorest," on one side. On the other is a man wearing a cap and sport coat labeled "Musk," standing in front of a massive collection of huge money bags. He smiles as he says to to poor, "No more free lunch!"
