Progressive activist, organizer, and commentator Jess Craven is mad as hell and wants the world to know she will ensure that Gavin Newsom never becomes President. Craven urges people to vote Democrat over Republicans because fascism is terrible, but the California resident feels the state’s Democratic machine has stabbed its base in the front, back, and side by caving to the oligarchy.
The Paramount-Warner Bros. merger isn’t just another win for technofascists, but it’s an ominous sign of how corporate money has bought out both sides of the political aisle, willing to step aside as the world’s worst people take our wealth, resources, jobs, and culture. The Ellisons, with the help of Gulf money, and perhaps even Elon Musk, will now control two Hollywood studios, CBS, CNN, and TikTok. They will lay off thousands of people, censor anyone who criticizes Israel, and churn out AI-generated slop.
How does this help the state? It doesn’t.
Who helped rubber-stamp the deal? California Democrats.
Jess joins us to discuss how this is a harbinger of things to come unless we, the people, use our power to pressure Democrats to stand up to oligarchs and racists.
