I just read an article about "dumb phones." There is a class of people who have decided that smartphones are evil, so they've returned to phone technology circa 1990. No apps. No big screen or QWERTY keyboard. Just a phone (and txt).

My guess is midterms will happen but there’s gonna be a lot of voter suppression. Targeted terrorizing of voters for sure. Lotta brown people staying home. There’s gonna be the appearance of elections but it’s gonna be even more of a sham than it usually is. That’s my assessment.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Military commanders have a huge responsibility to, potentially, become the guardians of peace and democracy.
