Have a great day/night everyone.

Cute cartoons with spotted bow ties stand shoulder to shoulder. Caption reads: "condemn hate - seek peace. unite against extremism, don't fuel it."

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. No jokes. No shade. No schadenfreude. The reason you never see ICE arresting Proud Boys and Oath Keepers is the same reason you never see Keanu Reeves hanging out with John Wick and Neo.

Portland Oregon has almost 650,000 people.
Consider that half of them are probably kids and up to half of them may be Republicans. That's still over 150,000 people who are potential resisters.
How many minions does Trump have deployed there?

There are 3,028 billionaires worldwide. Their combined wealth totals $16.1 trillion.
That's enough money to cure poverty, educate every child and give everyone the healthcare they need.
If only they would use their power for good instead of evil.

If you cut off the head of a hydra, nine more grow in its place.
The trick is to cut out the heart, instead.

If America can overthrow Trump and the fascist billionaires behind him, pulling the strings, there's a tiny glimmer of hope that the world may get the renaissance it so desperately needs. US corporations and agencies like the CIA are the cause of a huge amount of global instability.

What changed is that tech bros nowadays aren't quirky autistic and culturally autistic adjacent people who played with computers as children for fascination but greedy narcissists that bow to the highest bidder.

Most tech bros use to be liberals‼️
We The People made them rich and now we are casualties of their quest for power‼️

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.
