There is no need for the insurrection act if they can simply label you a terrorist.

You are not alone in this as our family is immune compromised as well as understanding the factual risk in that we are all at risk, regardless of a current disability. 🙃

Holy shit! In Chicago last night, thousands of residents took to the street to protest fascist authoritarian Trump, the National Guard, and Nazi ICE Gestapo's attempted coup of their city. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

US citizens who believed as strongly about Jimmy Kimmel should apply the same pressure here.

Artists who oppose this behavior should pull their catalogs off the platform.

Okay so let me get this right

1) OpenAI has to go public before the end of the year or they have to pay back their investors and face legal charges from several US states
2) There's only enough venture capital left to keep the economy running for another year and a half

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

Pritzker is offering the following at the moment:

1. Trust the courts. [not a viable strategy]
2. "Film the cops"
3. Vote in 2026
4. Protest [peacefully]

And he knows this is not sufficient. Everyone does.

He will not address the local cops angle because he might be deposed...

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

We are in late-stage authoritarian media takeover.

Fox and CNN are owned/controlled by rightwing billionaires.
Twitter and Truth Social
WSJ and WaPo
CBS and ABC
Newsweek, Sinclair, now Tegna; TikTok getting close.

We are far along in the Putin-mold media takeover plan.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

A massive reason we are at the precipice of societal collapse is because the rich caught wind of the factual statistical successes seen with UBI & freaked. The gut punch to their ego of the reality of necessary empathetic measures in response to the pandemic & societal well being created the Nazgul.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

With Democrats like this, who needs wolves in sheep's clothing?

Their neoliberal bs literally set a runway for Republican Confederate fascism to land safely and without restraint or oversight, right in Union territory.

Read this Globe piece for the great local reporting, stay for a banger kicker

Several of the people employed there declined to speak with the Globe late last week as they walked from the center to their cars. When a reporter pressed a buzzer on the front door and identified himself, a person on the other end of the line said he would see if anyone was available to talk.

About 15 minutes later, an armed private security contractor exited the building and handed the reporter a sticky note with the phone number for ICE’s Washington-based Office of Public Affairs scrawled on it.
