If you want to understand propaganda you have to realize that what we call "reality" is really just mutually agreed upon hallucinations. Our sense of reality is easily manipulated by the creation of intersubjective hallucinations. They create "truth" that serves the interests of the propagandists.

Frank Zappa warned on CNN in the 1980s:

“The biggest threat to #America today is not communism. It’s moving America toward a fascist theocracy… Reagan administration is steering us right down that path.”

He was dismissed and laughed at.

White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cellphone while in Minnesota

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.

Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

My constituents are tired of the lies and distractions coming out of this White House. They want relief from President Trump’s trade war, policies that lower costs, and access to affordable healthcare.

Not this shit again...

The Bone Saw Comedy Tour Riyadh isn’t a "comedy festival." It’s image-laundering with dick jokes.

And let’s not forget:
this festival falls on the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.
Nothing says “honoring the journalist your hosts dismembered while he was still alive, screaming” like trying out your edgiest new masturbation jokes.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine in America.

They just want to kill Americans.

ICE GOONS in Chicago are escalating their actions, storming hospitals, detaining individuals from grocery stores, and operating without judicial warrants. Ald. Jessie Fuentes was arrested and handcuffed inside Humboldt Park Health simply for demanding accountability.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

The Working Class Has No Border Ep 8: The Real Salt of the Earth PREVIEW If you're not a patron, subscribe at patreon.com/workstoppage to get full access to the episode. Even as the Mexican Revolution was winding down, the struggle for equal rights in their own country by Mexican miners and oil workers was still heating up. In the late 1910s and early 1920s, spurred by the forces of change in the revolution and the staunch internationalism of the IWW, Mexican miners launched some of their biggest strikes yet. Facing intransigent bosses, gunboat diplomacy by the US, and dealing with a bourgeois government dedicated to ensuring stability for investment, the challenges the miners faced were steep. But even decades of violent repression couldn't stop the struggle for a fair living by the workers facing some of the deadliest conditions in any industry. We close our survey of the struggles of Mexican miners on both sides of the border with the epic battle between Mine Mill Local 890 and Empire Zinc, a struggle so inspiring it was captured on film.
