Elon Musk is becoming a one-man rogue state โ€“ itโ€™s time we reined him in


Elon #Musk is, more or less, a #RogueState. His intentions are self-serving and #nefarious, and his nation-state level resources allow him to flout the law with impunity.

To put it into context, if dollars were metres, Muskโ€™s money would be enough to take him to Mars and back, while a mere millionaire could only make a round trip from Paris to Amsterdam.

He has:e mustnโ€™t make the mistake of playing nice with the worldโ€™s richest bully

That would require a functional government with a criminal justice system uncorrupted by billionaires.

Undesirable options are vigilantes or terrorists using violence to coerce political change - which is what the Republican fascists want as they continue to solidify their new government. The more violence the more public support for concentration camps, genocidal pogroms against the Republican Federal Government's enemy of the decade, etc.

WHAT IS MY LIFE ABOUT?
by Julie Price Pinkerton

This naked, lonely question
is still simmering in a crock pot
on the counter of a beach bungalow

where no one lives. But if you like,
I can show you some examples of what falls
out of my life when itโ€™s whacked like a piรฑata:

My friend Emily reminisces about the cat
she used to have, and still misses.
โ€œClearly, Pippin and I were telepathic.โ€

In my collection of very bad Christmas decorations
there is a cloisonnรฉ manger scene with a baby Jesus
who has a snout like a piglet.

I have been criticized for always looking downward
when I walk. But in only five decades I have found enough
coins to sink a rowboat.

If I were a household object I would insist
on being a gooseneck lamp or the yarn mane
of a toy horse.

Most of my prayers are like drive-by shootings.
Please help me. Please save her. Thank you
for the parking spot.

โ€”from Rattle #45, Fall 2014
Tribute to Poets of Faith
Julie Price Pinkerton: โ€œI am a poet of faith. Iโ€™ve never written that sentence before. I was raised in a Baptist church on a gravel road on the outskirts of Brazil, Indiana. All of Brazil, Indiana, is kind of an outskirt. The church of my childhood was weird and toxic. Long story. At the center of it: Our pastorโ€™s son (who became a pastor himself) was a pedophile. Nobody knew this until many years later, but something was off there, and I could tell. I hated going there. I stuck with my faith, though. Went to a really small Methodist college, the University of Evansville. A battering ram hit my faith in God when I was a freshman and our schoolโ€™s entire basketball team was killed in a plane crash. Among the lost was the boy I had just started dating. But faith was still there, flailing. Post-college adult stuff. Marriage, divorce, the switching of churches, the switching of denominations (within Christianity), jobs, cities, marriage again, and hobbling along with my belief in God, which never leaves, but baffles me repeatedly like a train I can hear blaring somewhere in the woods but I cannot find the tracks. Iโ€™m 54 now. And Christ is still the only thing that makes sense to me. My atheist friends find this quaint. Thatโ€™s OK.โ€

Watchdog Says Dr. Oz Push for 'Medicare Advantage for All' Is Disqualifying

"Oz's deep ties to the private healthcare industry make his nomination to lead our nation's current healthcare system totally egregious"

The watchdog group Public Citizen said Thursday that lawmakers should reject Trump's nomination of Medicare privatization advocate Mehmet Oz to lead a key health agency and instead move toward a publicly run single-payer system that would cover all Americans

[l] Langsam werden mehr Details รผber den Magdeburger Weihnachtsmarktfahrer heraus.
Bei dem festgenommenen Tatverdรคchtigen soll es sich um einen 50-jรคhrigen Mann namens Taleb A. handeln, der aus Saudi-Arabien stammt und 2006 nach Deutschland kam.

Da werden bei der AfD die Sektkorken knallen!

Oh warte, geht noch weiter.
Der Festgenommene ist als islamkritischer Aktivist bekannt, der sich selbst als Ex-Muslim bezeichnet.

Hmm, der Teil ist aber weniger schรถn fรผr die AfD.
In sozialen Medien, auf islamfeindlichen Websiten und in Interviews erhob er zuletzt Vorwรผrfe gegen deutsche Behรถrden.

Oje, das klingt ja schon fast wie ein AfD-Sympathisant!?
Er hielt ihnen unter anderem vor, nicht genรผgend gegen Islamismus zu unternehmen und befรผrchtete eine Islamisierung Deutschlands.

ScheiรŸe, das klingt ja wirklich wie ein AfD-Sympathisant!
Auf dem Onlinedienst X bekundete er seine Sympathie zur AfD und trรคumte von einem gemeinsamen Projekt mit der in weiten Teilen rechtsextremen Partei: einer Akademie fรผr Ex-Muslime.

Dann sollte die Schlagzeile wohl lauten: AfD-Mann fรผhrt Terroranschlag gegen Weihnachtsmarkt durch.

Wieso du als Warnung vor Islamisierung ausgerechnet einen Weihnachtsmarkt zum Ziel deines Amoklaufs machen wรผrdest, erschlieรŸt sich mir gerade nicht so wirklich, aber die AfD-Leute waren ja noch nie die Hellsten.

"Thousands of Amazon workers on Thursday launched the largest strike against the retail giant in U.S. history... to pressure Amazon to stop breaking the law.

"Workplace safety is a major driver of worker discontent, including insufficient access to water & overheating."

Watching a video about the pronatalist movement. I thought personal fertility rates were lowering outside the user of birth control.

Are children a burden? I think being a good parent is very difficult and if your adult partner is childlike, that makes it much harder.

The โ€˜have childrenโ€™ movement did smack of have children to serve the rich personally and by buying stuff that makes them rich.

We don't see much of this propaganda directed toward Black families, do we?

I also know a number of couples only families and am in one @Mark Wollschlager I agree that the solution is to effectively tax the ridiculously rich. It's not like they would suffer from having fewer private jets and super yachts.
