Decades of progress made sexism, racism, etc unacceptable. Being an asshole came with a cost.
Now Billionaire-funded astroturf "hate movements" reward people for being assholes because this divides the 98% against eachother.
Take the $$ out, the assholes lose their megaphones.
End Citizens United.

Possible that Gov Walz MnNG activation is intended to initiate break between Pentagon Generals & WH. Notice 11th Airborne was put on standby, but no reports of MN deployment. Why not?

Democracy in Weimar was in its infancy, ~10 years old.

Betraying US partner traditions of support in Europe makes US partners in Asia less safe.

It is like the Matrix is being built around us, made of emotion-tapping confections of distraction. People share it, spreading AI-generated inspirational unreality slop. Don't worry, be happy.
Meanwhile, the number of real crises grows...
Let's not be placated.

Check out Rubio's blink-rate.
