Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Respectfully, the GOP is dead. Anyone who would dare cross Trump has been run out of the party. This is the reality Democrats need to accept and plan accordingly

Chuck Schumer Walks Out Rather Than Say if He’s Voting for Zohran The Senate minority leader says he’s still talking with Zohran Mamdani, despite the election being just days away.

How can this man be a leader of the Democratic Party moving forward?

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The DEA said they arrested 171 β€˜high ranking’ Sinaloa Cartel members. A Spotlight investigation found that’s not true. - The Boston Globe A Globe investigation found that the federal agency misrepresented the stature of its targets, claiming cartel ties at a time when the Trump administration is taking lethal military action against such groups.

A US Drug Enforcement Administration agent said the DEA made β€œhigh-level arrests” of 171 Sinaloa Cartel members across New England in August.

A Globe investigation found that many of the DEA’s targets were addicts, low-level dealers, shoplifters, and homeless people.

If, when this is all over, the Democrats don’t fully prosecute (immediately!) every single person who committed crimes during this administration to appease the orange shitgoblin, I will lose my freaking mind!!!

No. More. Merrick. Garlands.

Chart showing billions in corporate subsidies

Chart showing billions in corporate subsidies

The monthly average family SNAP benefit is around $350, and fraud is around 1% if the total SNAP budget. Anyone looking to be angry should compare that to corporate subsidies.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
