TOM STEYER, A P̶R̶O̶G̶R̶E̶S̶S̶I̶V̶E̶ BILLIONAIRE

there is no such thing as s progressive billionaire.

a billionaire who hasn't redistributed their wealth voluntarily is NOT going to tax themselves out of existence.

then there’s the USA billion lie: only in USA billionaires can lie about their wealth; because the USA billion (10⁹) is a political devaluation from the actual billion (10¹²).

Steyer & all billionaires have no right to exist because mathematically they don't.

Report: A photo taken of an Israeli settler verbally abusing a Palestinian woman is called "antisemitic" by an Israeli ambassador.

The magazine-cover photo was taken of the settler mimicking to the woman the sound of a shepherd calling his flock.

The group of settlers & masked soldiers was preventing Palestinians from harvesting their olives.

WAR *IS* A MATTER OF MORALITY

set aside JD Vance’s very convenient compartmentalization of morality; did he order an AM A CATHOLIC t-shirt and calls that his convertion?

baptism doesn't make you a catholic. you need Confirmation and ongoing Confession and Communion.

who is Vance’s priest and confessor? who is telling him war isn't a sin nor a matter of morality?

who is this MAGA priest blessing Trump & Vance’s lust for death & destruction?

i co-wrote, with other feminist bloggers, a letter to the US Congress asking them to reject Samuel Alito for #SCOTUS.

the lawyers in the group had a long list of cases but there was one case that stood out. we all agreed it was THE red flag about his extremism:

HIS CRUELTY TOWARDS A BLACK TEENAGE GIRL in a decision that allowed prosecutors to treat her as an adult instead of a child.

that case felt like a foreshadow of this #MAGA coup & #civilWar
