If Nelson Mandela was alive, he would tell you that multimillionaire María Corina Machado isn't fighting for freedom.

She is siding with the oppressors, so she can make herself richer at the expense of everyone in Venezuela.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

Most people don't vote because the candidates don't represent them. And the majority of people who do vote have no idea why non-voters can't just pick whomever is closest in ideology because voters don't realize none of the candidates are effectively different.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Slavery evolves from one form to another until the makers and the doers of society OWN the business properties, tools and markets of society.
Everything else is just window dressing

I realize this is a controversial take but maybe being one blown tire, one broken bone, or one paycheck away from homelessness & financial ruin at all times isn't actually "freedom" the way we were raised to believe it is.

No. If you want you stick it to capitalists, you GIVE AWAY THE FOOD TO THE POOR!

Geezus, people. THINK about it! They keep trying to make feeding the poor illegal everywhere. They're making homelessness illegal everywhere.

You want you buck the powerful? Help the powerless instead of being petty.

But if you support Harris or Blue MAGA, you're just a run of the mill domestic terrorist. 🤦‍♂️

These signs and memes are exceptionally dumb and pointless.

You all keep dividing amongst each other while the 1% stands in solidarity against us, manipulating and exploiting us.

Neither of you two should have gotten peace prizes.

Fuck you both. Fuck Trump, too, for good measure.

Obama, you started 5 more wars and ended none. You ramped up drone-strikes which killed an American teen.

Maria didn't bring democracy to VZ. It was there before the US began trying to coup VZ.

100% correct.

We grow up with this romantic fantasy about what the ultra powerful people running the world are like, but the truth is disgusting and haunting.

Indeed. There be monsters.

It's amazing how much of not falling for America's settler colonial narrative means actually learning the documented, recorded facts of the noble figures of their pantheon. They're monsters with appetites for cruelty.

Let's be clear on who Christopher Columbus was, a conquerer who spread disease & slavery who was so sadistic in the ways he treated natives he appalled the architects of the Spanish Inquisition. That's the fact of him there is to reclaim.

Up until just recently, it was legal to turn right on a red right-turn arrow here in Washington.

After living in Cali long enough, this was a total shock to me. I didn't understand why people honked at me while I waited for the light to turn green all the time.

"Why aren't the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?"

If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he'll attack the kid again.

Sometimes when I read posts, I have to remember that most people don't understand that the people in power don't want a functioning government that works for the people; they want feudalism.

So when I see people putting faith behind a party's fake agenda, it's a little heartbreaking.
