The Fed just quietly injected more than $29B into the banking system on Friday night to stabilize it

This is a staggering amount of money to have to inject into our economy and underscores how unstable we currently are

The probability of a run on the financial system is high and things are shaky

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

True. But then, that’s what everyone was told right? On both sides?

So now we just have to deal with the consequences. You’d think it was clear, but people are in too deep

The people who think they have some divine right to exploit other humans for their own benefit need to be shown the truth

Rise up against the oppression of humanity. Rise up against the surveillance state and fascism. Save your democracy

Get out and FUCKING VOTE like it’s your last chance

These people are temporary. Don’t get distracted by the BS. Trump is to likely to live to see the end of his term. Everything they are doing now, is about who comes after him. And it’s not JD.

Keep the pressure on, fight back.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

And don’t let them distract you

Fascists are going to do what they have to in order to secure their safety and security

This makes them very weak and vulnerable. Take advantage of that.

This can be won, we just have to be smarter about how we do it

Protest
General strike
Support your communities

That’s how we win

All the indicators and data are there for anyone with even half a brain, like magats, to understand the perils we face. Politics are temporary. Climate is permanent

It’s time to focus on the one that’s really going to kill us all left unchecked

We are facing the probability that the human race will go extinct within the next few generations if we do nothing right now. We will just expire. Period. Do nothing, and we all die.

All of this is a distraction created by people who won’t live to face the consequences. Ever.

But we will

Because it’s not war we should be worried about out. It’s not genocide or oligarchs. It’s not Ai that’s coming for us.

It’s climate change

We have to crush this political bullshit so we can focus on the existential threat to the human race that we are experiencing rn that we are ignoring

So find your people, your community. It’s Anne Frank rules from here on out. The people against the corporate supporters of the fascists and the fascists themselves

It’s only by falling back on our communities that we can hope to support one another through this terrible period of history

And they aren’t going to play fair. They have you hooked on social media, news, and the cheap shit from China. They rob you of privacy, anonymity, and means. Then they surveil you and track you and hunt you down

Is this the life you want? For your kids? Theirs?

That’s where this is going

They are making you “pay” right now with tariffs and economic policies that are straight out of the 1850’s. It’s draining your resources every day. Making you weaker and less able to afford your life. While they are immune to the effects.

You have to bleed them before they bleed you

Your only chance at overturning this “peacefully” is to act against it now. Fully opposing the operations the fascists are going to employ against you.

This is going to be economic warfare

You starve them of resources, or they will starve you into compliance

The midterms are going to be a knife fight. Brutal, bloody, and dangerous.

They will impose ICE on every city. They will intimidate, arrest, and jail Dem candidates. They will marginalize, intimidate, interfere with, disenfranchise, and cheat every election they can

Unless you rise up

After this, it’s going to be a complete shitshow

And you won’t know what to believe or how you’re supposed to actually participate

The fascists are going to fuck up every part of voting next year to make it impossible to accomplish cleanly or with any clear result

Because if you think doing nothing and not joining the opposition will save you, you’re an idiot. Fascism comes for everyone. It’ll come for you too

You’re last clear chance to make a difference in your local community is to vote, right now, while you still very clearly can

After this?

But that does not make them friendly or not fascist. It just means they recognize the weakness in their own districts and they want to retain their seats.

Here’s the crux: R’s are unfit to govern, period.

Vote them all out

Every last one. Make their party irrelevant and eliminate it

R’s have crossed the aisle to now pass in the Senate, legislation to pull back tariff control to Congress. It’s not much, but it’s a start. Support Dems and as many people impacted by the cruelty of the R’s this holiday season while they continue to harm our families, friends, and neighbors

There is hope. There are the beginnings of cracks appearing in the Republican led coup against our government

People are stepping up. Protests are occurring.

But, without sustained opposition, continuous protests, and a general strike, we are unlikely to prevent a complete federal takeover

What you do right now will determine the outcome of the 2026 Midterms

Let me repeat that:

What WE do, as a nation, this fall and through the winter will determine the outcome of the 2026 Midterms

If you do nothing, we lose everything

But despite this reality, understanding that the fascists are weak and afraid is the fuel for opposing the coup that is stealing your democracy one day at a time

The longer we wait to stand up, rise up, and throw off the oppressors, the longer we will have to fight and the more people lose

The year has been shit. The worst for our democracy since the Civil War.

No matter what we do now, it will get worse. Because we didn’t intervene sooner. And the longer we wait, the worse it will get, the longer it will last, and the more atrocities we will commit as a nation

Get it yet?

We’re really fucked. Because when you take this slop out of the economy, there’s nothing, nada, going on. Our GDP growth this year without Ai bullshit spinning in circles is about .6%

Think on that
