the list of things that needs to be done to repair this country is extensive but high up on it is breaking the power of the tech lords

they are convinced they are untouchable feudal barons whose money allows them to dictate everyone else's life and they must be disabused of that notion

FYI, all law enforcement already treats Black Americans this way. Welcome!

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

This seems Very Important - check your state and then maybe call your state reps to ask about it.

I found this map showing which states used Dominion Voting Machines in the 2024 race. With an election denier as the new owner of Dominion which is now Liberty vote, I definitely would advise all states to get out of their contract with them & find a new one.

If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.

There are ZERO other countries who have bases in America.

Canada? The UK? Australia? Any of America's strongest historical allies? No Bases. They work from existing USAF Bases.

Why wasn't that good enough for a mostly hostile entity? 👀

Kind of darkly funny that they no longer care who will be there. After of course having fucked over as many americans from all political groups as possible. They really think they'll never have to run for office again. And they might be right.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

I heard this, too. Someone should tell Fox News to ask that undercover ANTIFA guy about this.

If the GOP is serious about ridding America of this plague, it sounds like all they have to do is pass a federal rent cap bill. Easy peasy, lefty squeezy!
