Retired artist/signpainter/poet, as in I'm broke, so don't ask. I'm going blind, but I see what's happening. PS: writing the history of my Spooner ancestors.

Electoral politics as we know it will not lead us out of this. We are too far gone now. Instead, we need to look at the nonviolent paths other countries followed to free themselves from authoritarian regimes. Turn off cable news, turn down social media, and pick up these roadmaps and guidebooks: 1/

Neither. They're trying to hide people on the spectrum, like they used to do.

"Transgenderism" does NOT include the LGB. It's very specific to a very small population, historically shunned by the LGB.

Historian Timothy Shenk is correct to encourage today’s Democrats to look at FDR’s welcoming the hatred of economic royalists, who are basically the same as today’s controlling oligarchs. Handled correctly, this can be a winning strategy people relate to.

If Democracy doesn't support actual equality, then I will vote for equal suffering. I'm tired of the lesser evil game that leaves me under the bus.

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.

The Smithsonian claims the placard was removed because it did not meet the exhibit's standards in
"appearance, location, timeline, and presentation," and it sometimes blocked the view of objects in the display.

There it is...Trump calls for the arrest of the mayor of Chicago and Governor Pritzker.

So, for all the incrementalists in denial...are we there yet? 🤔
- Did we cross the line into authoritarianism yet?
- Is it fascism yet?
- Is he "joking"?

He & Stephen Miller want civil war.

Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

If it passes, healthcare in America will only be available for the rich. Why are you voting for that. You're losing my respect.

Stephen Miller's rhetoric is certainly not righteous. Angry, definitely, in the same way that a poorly bred Chihuahua is angry and threatens to bite everything and everybody in reach...while meanwhile trembling uncontrollably in terror at simply existing.

One of Russia’s main supply routes from China has been shut down. From today, the border with Kazakhstan is fully stopped.. over 5,000 trucks are stuck, inspections are ongoing, and goods are being confiscated. Drones, EW gear, batteries, components, nothing is getting through.
