There is so much to keep track of right now. This page is meant to document critical, buried, and distracted from news updates, current events, moments in living history, and subversive anti-democratic actions.

3 part video. Look, I know our attention spans are fleeting. I know our monkey brains love short, simple answers to jump on when complex problems unfold before US. We're in danger. All 342 million of us. Even if you're apathetic, I would encourage you all to watch these videos, Share, Talk Offline🇺🇲🗽

These conditions are unacceptable. They ushered their kidnap victims away from oversight, the same way North Korea hides it's citizens from reporters. Jesus, how much further into #EthnicCleansing will we allow ourselves to degrade into?
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Jonathan Peternel (24) #SonOfLifeChurch lead pastor Nathan Peternel, arrested Oct 23 on 7 felony counts for child exploitation & possessing 200+ child sex abuse files. Church tied to #Republican Lt. Gov #MicahBeck. Beckwith's office already under deepfake porn probe.

This should never happen in our country. This is our home. The fact that this was a situation that someone had to go through in the first place.. These kinds of things are optional, they don't ever need to happen. They only happen when society allows it. Reject Cruelty, Reject Fascism.

Who is Antifa? Let's talk about Anti-Fascism. Let's talk about history. Let's talk about reality. Let's Talk About The Liars. Let's Talk About The Manipulators. Let's talk about the five masks of fascism:
1. The Statist-loyalty
2. Miltarism
3. The Theocrat
4. The Corporatist
5. Ethno-Nationalist

Things are going to get worse, before they get better. We watched our democracy slow-burn into to ground. Our #RepublicanParty #SoldUsOut. Our #AgingDemocraticLeadership doesn't know how to meet this moment. #ConnectWithYourCommunity, because when all else fails. #AllWeHaveIsEachOther. 🇺🇲🗽🐸

Friends. As as we head into the future, We have to be more civically responsible than any of our predecessors. There has been no other point in a human history that faces the tech challenges that we do. Unfortunately, whether we want to or not, we have to take time to be aware of what we are facing.

Our supreme court has been hijacked by Christian nationalists & racist assholes. We need to impeach members who would enable ethnic cleaning & the dismemberment of our multi-cultural democracy.

Let’s work feverishly together on getting rid of Trump. The momentum is with American people now. Enough of this shit!!

The lies, corruption and incompetence are all around us and never ending. 😔

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Arrest ICE agents. Trap them inside state legal systems. #QualifiedImmunity has stipulations & limits. It's long past the time for our democratic institutions to start resisting in more meaningful ways.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

The debate around #Socialism in the United States, is & always has been intellectually dishonest. The billionaire class has invested countless money over generations to poison the concept of what socialism is so much, that we don't even recognize our system is rooted in socialism, but for the rich.

Honestly, I have no words for the level of shamelessness trump supporters are heading towards. A trump support asks the question,

"Why is child rape immoral?"

This is where we're at. No words.

#Florida schools are adopting an educational model created by the #HeritageFoundation. This is what indoctrination looks like. Keep an eye on changes to your local education system. Block these developments before their foundations are laid. They will try & roll this out everywhere.

An inner city highschool teacher organizes an optional non-graded mock election. The props on the ballot are binding, & have the potential to change key fundamental structures of the class. The core lesson is in critical thinking, civic responsibility, & what can happen when voter turnout is low.

#DepoProvera, a hormonal #contraceptive has been linked to a specific type of #BrainTumor. There is currently a lawsuit making it's way through the courts regarding this under reported link to deadly disease development.

Please America, see there is no consistency.
He attacks science and higher ed, driving top talent to flee, then complains we don't have talent and must bring in immigrants with h1b visas that he's charging $100,000 a pop for.

He's ok with immigration so long as he can exploit and profit from it.

They continue to steal from the tax payers, and enrich themselves. Republicans leadership is not American. They only have allegiance to themselves, and the corrupted. Republican senators have snuck paying themselves taxpayer dollars in the bill to re-open the goverment

The #SupremeCourt declining hearing arguments against #GayMarriage was disingenuous. Guys, if there's one thing I hope we've learned, it's who we're dealing with plays games of obscuration & subversion. They come for us all through the path of least resistance. Keep your eye on #TransRights

Right-Wing citizens are becoming increasingly radicalized & violent. Which makes sense, when you factor in the foul & violent, delusion based rhetoric of republican leadership. Thank goodness there's video evidence of these crimes committed by regular people, with no authority whatsoever.

The heritage foundation's white house fired those who understand the law, & the most basic aspects of their job. When you are ignorant, you don't follow rules, you make them up. Entrusting the job of governing to those who want destruction, causes the functions of our society to grind to a halt.
