[image: image.png] *Our Very Own Oligarchy by Lyn Ekedahl* We’re off to a great start in 2-0-Twenty-Five. What a marvelous time to still be alive! We’ve a new form of government, aligned with the times, Our own Oligarchy, designed for new crimes!
Most of Don’s creeps come with money bags full, Also full of themselves, full of self-righteous bull! Co-president Musk, the Don’s billionaire booster, Postures and twirls—struts and crows like a rooster!
The Washington Post knows how “Democracy Dies….” And its owner’s ready to help—not a total surprise. He rushed to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the Don’s ring, To give the Don money, his praises to sing!
To placate the Donald and not even embarrassed, He killed the Post’s planned endorsement of Harris! And to prove that with truth he would no longer trifle, His cartoonist’s cartoon he proceeded to stifle.
Zuckerberg rushed in with appeals to the Don, As the “Freedom to Lie” became his new song. “We’ll no longer do fact checks,” quite proudly crowed he, Thus perfectly showing the role of toady!
On the rest of the nation it soon will be dawning— What these billionaires get in return for their fawning— A little help with a contract, relief from some reg, and Tax cuts for which they’re not too proud to beg!
So prepare for the worst and get ready to fight. On their crimes and misdeeds best to shine a bright light. For the oligarch’s goal isn’t justice and peace. The oligarch’s goal is the public to fleece! *part one:On a Mission From God: Inside the Movement to Redirect Billions of Taxpayer Dollars to Private Religious Schools <www.propublica.org/article/school-vouchers-ohio-church-state-tax-dollars-private-religious>* bio: Alec MacGillis is a reporter for ProPublica, focusing on gun violence, economic inequality and the pandemic-era schools crisis. *part two: how the world fell in love with plastics without thinking through the consequences the definition of modernity molded material it molds us to how we define life …a million uses how we make plastics* bio: Professor Mark Miodownik is the UCL Professor of Materials & Society.
