It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.
It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
People are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.
The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

In a jaw-dropping warning, French Army General Nicolas Richoux cautioned America by declaring, "Greenland is the red line. If the US invades, they stop being systemic adversaries — they become enemies. If the US attacks Greenland, we must fight the Americans." #cdnpoli

The minimum wage went up in 19 states this month — but the federal minimum wage has been stuck at a paltry $7.25 an hour since 2009.
Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

If the Democrats agree to raise the debt ceiling again without obtaining significant concessions from Republicans, I wouldn't blame the center-left if they abandoned the Democratic Party altogether.
Chuck Schumer better not sell out again.

It's encouraging to finally see some traction towards a Nationwide General Strike but the movement is already getting scattered
Simplify the messaging & goal to ensure broad appeal
Ex: Demand the Trump Administration be impeached & his Presidential actions repealed
