Democracy Matters 
@DemocracyMattersALot@mstdn.social
Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies. #VoteBlue #TwitterRefugees #WashingtonDC #FightFascism #NoRepublicans #Ukraine

“A nation ignorant of the equal benefits of liberty and law, must be awed by the flashes of arbitrary power: the cruelty of a despot will assume the character of justice; his profusion, of liberality; his obstinacy, of firmness” — Edward Gibbon (who wrote ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’)

%Billionaires Gone Wild
A few stories about centibillionaires — men whose net worth exceeds $100 billion — and their role in our society:
· In 2022 Elon #Musk, the richest man in the world, purchased Twitter. Since then he has turned the platform into a racist cesspool, overrun by literal Nazis.
· Last year #Skydance Media, run by #DavidEllison — the son of #LarryEllison, the world’s 6th richest man — acquired #Paramount, which includes #CBS. The new management put #BariWeiss, a conservative pundit with no relevant experience, in charge of CBS News.
