The modern Republican party is devoted to three ideas:
1) That power is only legitimate if Republicans wield it
2) Power must be acquired by any means necessary
3) And the party is accountable to no one once it has it
It's a recipe for fascism.

SVB & Signature are gone, and now Washington must act quickly to prevent the next crisis.

Man, all those Silicon Valley Supercapitalists sure do love government handouts when somethin' bad happens to their "free market".
In a shocking twist no one could have seen coming, a rich white South African is defending the guy that said white people should stay the fuck away from black people.

Corporate profits reached $2.08 TRILLION in the 3rd quarter. Outside of the financial sector, that's a record high.
Did any of the latest inflation reporting bother to mention this? Of course not.
Corporate greed is driving up prices — and the media will hardly talk about it.
Ousted Disney CEO Bob Chapek is set to receive a golden parachute worth ~$23 million.
Meanwhile, Disney is dragging its feet on paying its workers better wages to keep up with the rising cost of living.
It’s corporate greed above all else.
