Be careful how you summon in your allies. Ensure that when you call them to battle that you call them to fight along side of you, not instead of you.

Nobody sits it out.

Every transit station should have at least some commercial activity so that the rent can pay for upkeep and security

If we want to be smart about it, these would be nonprofits that provide job training along the Danish lines. As trainers gain experience, they transition to busier sections.

Minimum wage should not only be linked to inflation and what a living wage is it should also be indexed to rent.

Rent goes up? Wages go up. Yes it would be quite the arms race, but then people could rightly point to the issue of landlords exploiting people.

Makes plenty of sense. They’ve got to choose. If there is no choice then they must be a state. If they don’t wanna be part of America, then they must be independent. Right now they’re a weird in between and that’s not good for anyone. The United States should not have any territories or possessions.

They’ve had multiple referendums and I don’t believe in territories or possessions. Either everything we control is attached to state or is a state or it’s not part of our country at all in anyway. For example, all the possessions across the pacific should either be annexed to Hawaii or statehood

Winning:
1. Add Puerto Rico as a state.
2. Add DC as a state.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court.
4. Repeal the Reapportionment Act of 1929 which artificially limits the number of representatives in the house and gives far too much power to small states which is the purpose of the Senate

Spotify boycott: Artists leave 'garbage hole' platform after CEO invests in AI weapons Daniel Ek's investments in AI dronemaker Helsing have unnerved artists. One called Spotify a "violent armageddon portal."

A bit of resistance: drop your Spotify account. It’s going to an AI weapons, defense contractor.

Putting millions and tons of millions of people into destitution in order to lavish wealth on those who already have great hordes of wealth is why I’m a liberal. They never ever share.

There is no trickle down, except for the urine they lavish on the masses.

What if California did what Oklahoma has just done and reduce their tax rate to zero.

California’s economy would be going gangbusters, but the rest of the country particularly red state would be bankrupt. I wonder if a minimum taxation rate federally would require equal skin in the game for states?

Remember that the proper style for a concentration camp is not alligator Alcatraz. It is alligator Auschwitz.

You’ve got ideas. How are you going to implement them in your life?

It is frustrating when politicians do work that average people can do and expect credit. Yet we look at them as members of Congress to do work that only the elite can do. That’s where they would gain credit.

To eliminate confusion all law-enforcement should have to log the specific law you were breaking at the time of being detained. So perhaps they need a searchable tablet so they can be accurate.

As a defender of our Constitution you’re out in the street first AND whichever special interest you have is second. There are no sidelines or backstage.

All law-enforcement should have their last name and badge number on their uniforms or vests just like football players.

Play fascist games..,

…also look at how militarized their equipment is. At what point does military equipment use cross the line of violating Posse Comitatus Act? If they’re equipped, trained, and acting the same. What is the difference?

It’s funny that some of the biggest hippies turned out to be corporate Raiders.

When planning your activism energy, don’t just react to fascist or theocratic energy.

Identify for something and then build something that overpowers that fascism.

Don’t waste all your energy responding to the 10,000 ways Fascism sucks.

Yup!

Correct! I feel only joy for being an Andor pusher!

Love it!!!!

Registration is open to run for political office. Be the change.

But by saying do your own research, they invalidate facts and push it back into the realm of opinion so they don’t have to know anything

Weird take: there is a movement among conservatives to have more than just a few children, but to have quite a lot of children. This means in a democracy, they are making more voters than liberals are. Literally trying to breed out opposing ideology.

During our (first?) Revolutionary War about a third of people wanted to grovel before a Monarch.

About a third of Americans are Republican MAGAts.

They should leave. Do another great migration and go to states that have a higher minimum wage and better options for their kids. If they’re not gonna stand up and do something about it. And I know that’s technical because clearly the districts are required, and their votes aren’t a monolith.

Or at least one who will stop the institutional rape of children.

Protest speakers take heed:

have a decent band to fill the space.

No poems

Stop emphasizing non-violence and let people be angry

The manual from the 60s doesn’t work anymore you’re alienating more people than you’re gaining.

Learn how to speak with volume, clarity, and emotion.

All federally recognized tribes should start issuing their members passports. Since they are sovereign, but dependent nations, they then have the sovereign ability to issue a passport, and all of their members are then dual citizens. It is good defensive policy

You cannot tiptoe into freedom. The only surety in this life is enslavement. So if you’re feeling uncomfortable or angry, then you are most likely free. Currently.
