Billionaires have always been backing Nazis. They love Nazis.

Guns. We stop it with guns. And fire.

In the war between ICE and civilians, the police have declared they’re siding with ICE. They have identified themselves as your enemy, and everyone should act accordingly.

A transition to socialism/communism. Trump is the result of capitalism gone wild. This is what it always turns into.

What we really need is a digital liquid democracy platform, and removing power from leaders. No more of unchecked corruption until we can get around to another election. In liquid democracy, people can remove their pledged vote whenever they want.

I didn’t invent the term. Not my fault you don’t know it.

There’s a big difference between actual fact-checking, and the “fact-checking” industry which is controlled by powerful interests to help sell their narrative.

Hell no. She was a racist, pro-corporate narcissist. She can rot in hell.

I really hate how so many people have tried to rehabilitate and protect her image. After a career spent trampling indigenous rights, I refuse to see her record whitewashed.

Well, the court does. This is coming from Carr, who’s been trying to make headlines for his gubernatorial run.

In Georgia, where this is happening, they also consider not having a phone to be probable cause for arrest.

This is in Georgia. The state attorney general thinks it’s probable cause for arrest to not have a cellphone, or to have a dumb phone. They’re turning the state into a digital open air prison.

And just like cop city, this is a test for nationwide rollout.

No, they only care according to their own bias. The liberal judges have also been onboard with shredding the constitution on behalf of corporations & authoritarianism. They agree more than they disagree.

Not at all. I’m talking about direct democracy.

I think the fastest route is to set up parallel institutions to provide services the current government cuts. As they cut services, they delegitimize their authority. As we provide what services we can, we claim that legitimacy.

 

To be clear, the current tariff execution is reckless and poorly planned. But I hear a lot of total tariff opposition from the same people who demand we continue to escalate with China over control of Taiwan, up to a potential hot war.

So what’s the plan? Western economies were brought to their knees during just a momentary interruption in shipping during the pandemic. How do you wage a war with a country that does all of your manufacturing? China could defeat most western countries without firing a single shot, just by cutting off their access to Chinese exports.

If you don’t support tariffs to bring back manufacturing jobs domestically, how do you think we could make it through a war with our manufacturing partners? I can’t reconcile the two ideas, and I don’t understand how some of y’all are.
