Do no sleepwalk into autocracy. Keeping your head down will not save you. Instead, your institution—school, nonprofit, church—needs to do what Rutgers is: flocking behaviour. Band together. Be solid. Face reality—together. It does work.And there's no other choice than to sleepwalk into the horror.
Now this, this is the way to defeat an autocrat
So many of us are sleepwalking into autocracy. Here's how to defeat an autocrat—flocking behaviour. It works. It works a lot better than keeping your head down.

Every one of these rich freaks is on a personal mission to remove functions of their basic humanity because they realize if people have any sense of basic humanity they will not be fans of rich freaks

Sigh. Less than 10 minutes after publishing this article, I had to go back and edit it to add that U.S. is now suspending all military aid to Ukraine. I mean, it supports my piece and thesis, but I I wish was wrong.
My latest. I bring receipts. Please read and share.

President Putin Occupies The White House
It's clear to Europe and our allies that President Trump and Republicans are now thoroughly compromised by Putin, an anti-American dictator. The question remains: who will step up and speak out?

As written, it halts ALL ongoing humanitarian relief activities, except food aid, in places like Syria, Sudan, Gaza.
Also halts all global health programs.
