Joe Frank began his career in 1976 at WBAI, in NYC. In his Sat. night show, “In the Dark,” he experimented with live freeform radio featuring his monologues &
actor improvisations. It was during this period that Joe’s bizarre & original vision quickly drew increasingly larger audiences.

In times like these, supporting public institutions and free speech matters.

Neoliberals cannot counter Fascism because actually countering Fascism would expose the fact that they don't recognise that much of their own beliefs and power structures are fundamentally fascist.

Neoliberals cannot counter fascism because actually countering fascism would put their power, prestige and money at risk as fully dealing with the threat of fascism and white power is a threat to the entire system of governance in most western countries

I truly believe a big reason why Democrats are failing to appropriately respond to the moment is a pathological refusal to admit that there were aspects of the American status quo pre trump that were extremely fucked up and unjust

The assumptions speak volumes about the officers and as usual, nothing about the actual person being discussed

What really bothers me is that the Senate is not actually a representative body and we should eliminate it at the same time we get rid of the electoral college. Then we can call it Congress and it will consist of congressional representatives and no one will be confused.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

the reason elected dems aren't doing anything to obstruct or hinder, let alone stop the nazi coup is because they don't want to.

Post by Bernie Sanders v @berniesanders
No Speaker Johnson, you're not going to frighten us.
You're not going to silence us. We will continue to stand up for American democracy.
The millions of Americans who have been rallying across this country, and the millions more who are planning to protest on October 18th, do not "hate America." They are not "Hamas." Quite the contrary. They love America, our Constitution and those who have fought to maintain American freedom. These protesters are ordinary
Americans who are disgusted by your plan to take health care away from 15 million and double premiums for 20 million in order to provide a trillion dollars in tax breaks for the 1%. They are Americans who oppose Trump rapidly moving our country toward authoritarianism by threatening to arrest his political opponents, intimidating the media, slashing funds for states who voted against him, deploying the military into American cities and illegally firing tens of thousands of federal employees.
You may not be familiar with the Constitution of the United States, but the First Amendment and peaceful protest have always been an essential part of what makes us a democracy. Too many Americans have fought and died to defend that democracy. We will not betray them.

On the other hand, it’s kinda amusing seeing that baby man thinking he is a real live big man now.
