I wish we could afford politicians this good.

This new electoral vídeo from Pedro Sánchez is quite something. Standing in front of Guernica defending the anti-war stance of his government, limiting military expenditure, denouncing the atrocity of Gaza. English subtitles.

From Garry Kasparov: "People will look at this situation and ask whether the American president is a Russian asset. Here is my opinion: whether Trump is acting as Putin’s agent or merely an impressionable admirer is not relevant. [1/2]

The outcome would be the same, and the bottom line here is that this was coordinated between the White House and the Kremlin. As I often say, I believe in coincidences, but I also believe in KGB." [2/2]

🚨Holy shit, brilliant animators just made a devastating ad against Republican corruption: “A massive flood of money… impacts every part of our democracy.” Trump’s corruption is putting our democracy, our rights, and our future up for sale. VOTE. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

I just checked my voter registration. I encourage all of you to do the same. Try your state's official site. AVOID VoteSafe.Org. It's an Elon Musk scam to harvest data.

Oh, just our moronic president casually telling the entire world and our adversaries where they can find a large cache of munitions. Also, clearly the snipers are for us. He’s a very stupid and very sick person. Enjoy your $5+ gas folks. It isn’t going to get better.

Despite all of the subsequent failures, blunders and misfortunes of the recent Trudeau era, one of the things he promised to pursue early on was one of the most significant, IMHO: Changing Canada's federal elections to a proportional representation system.

"The final stages of capitalism, Karl Marx predicted, would be marked by global capital being unable to expand and generate profits at former levels. Capitalists would begin to consume the government along with the physical and social structures that sustained them. [1/3]

Democracy, social welfare, electoral participation, the common good and investment in public transportation, roads, bridges, utilities, industry, education, ecosystem protection and health care would be sacrificed to feed the mania for short term profit. [2/3]

Fourteen years. Every election. Including the ones he won. Tonight, it had the FBI Director sitting in the front row. I want to tell you about an awards show. Years ago, before any of this…a reality television program called The Apprentice kept not winning Emmys. Year after

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

S'truth, cobber digger!

This Aussie is spot on, it will take years or decades to get rid of capitalism from the government. It’s not just Trump, it’s everything behind him, oligarchs, money, corruption, corporations etc. How can we fix this?
