The fall is happening everywhere. This is why our voices and our work on social media matter so much, and why you should not listen to those who downplay its power.
With institutions falling, the grassroots needs to stand up and take over at a rapid pace. In media and beyond.

I've been saying to friends for a few months that the more I study authoritarianism in other countries, the more concerned I become that the CBS story is the sleeping giant here. The process has been a simmer (people inside the network have spoken out in real-time) but don't mistake slow for safe.
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert

To those who have not studied history, or forgot, or don’t believe history repeats, take a look.
If you still don’t get the connection, then you will live the consequences of your actions, or inaction.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Sound familiar?

When I started posting about vaccines on social media in 2009, I tried to engage with people who posted scientific misinformation in an attempt to persuade them with scientific evidence.
I quickly learned that facts can’t be used to convince someone who didn’t use them to form their opinion.

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Because he hates America for not giving him that second term, he says it was stolen, but he knows he lost it, he felt humiliated he will punish them just like he punished his wife for suggesting he have scalp replacement. He eventually buried her at his golf course in an untended grave.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’
Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

A location of a chain of Mexican restaurants was targeted by ICE in the St. Louis area. They rolled up and scooped up the manager and 2 cooks as they arrived for work. The place is on a rural highway. All 3 were released later because they aren’t criminals. Who tipped ICE? Competitor? Local racists?
