Itโ€™s easy to take democracy for granted. Itโ€™s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. Itโ€™s not.

This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

The ratchet effect. How you are being duped by the fake two-party system. Democrats block movement back to the left. Republicans turn everything to the right. (Picture of a ratchet system, with one part colored blue and the other red).

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.

There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.

He wants to call anyone a terrorist. Thatโ€™s Fascism.

How to get rid of a dictator Gene Sharpe, non-violent tactics

You might find this helpful:

"This is a summary of what citizens can do to dislodge an oppressive dictator. It focuses entirely on nonviolent action, because the state almost always has overwhelming superiority when it comes to the use of force..."

Unfortunately I think it fits into the terminally online theme, these might as well be seen as "customization options" to them.

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.

The Illusion of Choice: How Big Business Controls Your Life (ft. Lina Khan)
From your grocery bill to your paycheck, monopolies are making you less financially secure and ultimately less free. For The Illusion of Choice: How Big Business Controls Your Life (ft. Lina Khan)

For too long, our government stopped vigorously enforcing laws that keep Corporate America in check.

Corporations got more powerful while our basic economic freedoms went unprotected.

Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms.ย 

But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Remember this.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson.

Tilson sits at a whopping .8%.

Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.
