b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 4hCalling the USSR a ‘progressive project’ is more than a little provocative. We could say the same thing about Scientology or myriad other cults, but it doesn’t seem to me that the label / description would stick on deeper reflection. You made me think about it, so good job, professor, but . . . 000

b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 4hThank you. The list is so long, but we keep seeing the phrase slyly wedged in to so much otherwise progressive writing . . . I immediately have to step back and try to find out if the writer is funded by the dictator lickers . . . or is just painfully stupid. — b.rad 000

b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 07/10/2026here is the whole number uswealthclock.com $185 Trillion Top 1% has $60 Trillion Top 1% could pay our federal obligations and still be $20 Trillion filthy rich.

b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Not yet it isn’t. After November 3, Republicans will unleash illegal and immoral and anti-Constitutional obstruction, including passing insane bills. And then there will be every kind of denial Jan 3 and Jan 6 Nixon was hounded from office. Regardless of the vote, that’s what we need. 000
b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That’s what we need : Before, during, and after. Thanks. Nixon was hounded from office. His approval rating was measured at 24% at that point . . . we are getting close. Hound them from office! All insurrectionists, and all who support them. That is my call, before, during, and after — b.rad 000
b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 05/10/202640% of US corporations are owned by foreigners. They got another huge tax break. It’s not possible, rationally , for there not to be a direct line from one to the other. Follow that money. Get the Republican insurrectionists — all of them — out. Then we can make progress, thanks — b.rad 000
b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 05/10/2026some of the answer is at the link One good answer is ‘Republicans.’ For more than 100 years the Republican party has been Hoovering our wealth into the pockets of the richest. The worst part is that this is insanely stupid. Wealth trickles up. best luck to US, b.rad 000

b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026US corporations are 40% owned by foreigners. Almost half!

b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Nixon was hounded from office. Agnew was forced out, he was essentially hounded from office. McCarthy was censured and neutered. We must vote. But.

b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026thank you we need to hear this every day, about just about every one of them We have the power. This all stops when enough of us say no.

b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Consumer spending may be said to be ‘resilient,’ but did you do the math ? If everything costs 30% more than it did not so long ago, you got to pay more to get a lot less. The top line will still go up. Work that abacus, people. 000

b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 28/09/2026thank you ! Tenuous indeed. The only criticism I can muster, and it’s a big one, is that the cutoff should be way before billionaire.

b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 28/09/2026‘Conservative’ they are not. Fanatics, maybe, not the good kind. Words matter. We keep seeing fascists and kkk sympathizers and many just as bad or worse called ‘conservative,’ apparently to soften the harsh facts of the situation and soften backlash. It’s a Trojan word. Don’t let it in. 000

b.rad @bromowitz.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Medicare for Kids ! Brilliant next step. Who could object ? Then we extend it one year per year until we’re done . . . or earlier if the great majority of the voting population finally figures it out and calls it early. 000
