The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Lou Reed's Magic and Loss World Tour 1992 Access All Areas pass

Crew pass for the Arsenio Hall show with Lou Reed on April 30, 1992, the night of the LA riots.

Worked as Rob Wasserman's bass tech in '92, including the appearance on the Arsenio Hall show the night of the LA riots.
Lou performed, "Take A Walk On The Wild Side".

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

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.

Well spotted, sir! 👍🏼

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling.

It’s the People’s House after all.

So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

Sign saying, "The French aristocracy never saw it coming either."

Just wondering why restaurants got mentioned twice.
🤔

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

My feelings, exactly.

Yes, and just saw a headline referring to her as Epstein's accuser. She was his VICTIM.

This.

A TV talk show chatterbox elevated to Secretary of Defense talking about standards is an undiluted lack of self-awareness.

@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social said it best..."undiluted lack of self awareness"...

@sundaedivine.bsky.social

I fondly recall the good old days when we DID have an opposition movement called the Democrats.

If Antifa were a real group, you’d be able to buy merch.

... who will lose the case, losses to be paid in full by the American taxpayers.
We're being played for chumps.

As Ellison Buys Out TikTok, US Moves Toward One-Party Media The Ellison duo taking over both CBS and CNN, as well as controlling a major social media network like TikTok, would be dangerous for democracy.

This is the other big story people aren't paying attention to but you really need to widen your lens.

The broligarchy is coming for all of our milkshakes.

As Faux Noose kept us distracted, these 'local' news channels pumped out the propaganda.
Now you know.

One group calling for Jimmy Kimmel's ouster is Sinclair media. Even if you don't pay attention to media conglomerates, you probably remember Sinclair for this:

“The FCC decided all by itself that radio and television were the only two parts of American life not protected by the free speech provisions of the first amendment to the constitution.”

George Carlin, 1988

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Wondering how propaganda is poisoning the minds of Americans? Look no further than S1ncl@1r Media...

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Not "is becoming"...
It IS.

Got to wonder how many rich guys with an Epstein problem REALLY didn’t want a woman in the White House. And went above and beyond to prevent it.
