Democracy is sweet. We need to learn some wrestling to defend it.

No to Private Cities!

As tyranny rises, build your own democracy on
https://consuldemocracy.org

It's important and urgent. Don't waste time with repeating phrases of outrage. Act!

I understand the feeling "all the good parts are gone" but if you want to survive this menace you have not only to stick to the good stuff, you even need to improve and strengthen it, until it becomes unbreakable!

Woran ist zu erkennen, das eine Diktatur im Aufbau ist? Wenn Herrschende beginnen, der Gesellschaft ihr eigenes Geschichtsbild aufzuzwingen. In den USA kommt jeden Tag ein Diktaturpuzzleteil hinzu www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...
Erlass zu Museen: Donald Trump erlässt Dekret zur Umdeutung der US-Geschichte
Der US-Präsident beschuldigt Museen, ein falsches Geschichtsbild zu vermitteln. "Unangemessene Ideologie" solle dort künftig keinen Platz mehr haben, ordnete Trump an.

Staggeringly obnoxious entitlement from American, Stephen Moore (Heritage Foundation) on #r4today

Greenland referred to as a great “piece of property” with “very valuable resources” for the US to acquire.
The world as a monopoly board with America demanding it gets to buy whatever it wants.

Nope. The Maga are still "Maga-ing." They will follow their leader as up to the time he takes his last breath.

I wrote this essay about Noem nearly a year ago. The week, the now “Secretary of Homeland Security”, made a video in front of what looked like a concentration camp, in which she wore a $60K watch and used imprisoned human beings as props.
This was the goal.

Stand in Ljubljana’s Prešeren Square on a spring day, listening to the birdsong and conversation, and it’s hard to imagine it choked with car traffic.

But as recently as 2007, motorists could freely drive through the city center, until some courage and common sense returned it to its natural state.

Check out the full article in Psychological Bulletin! doi.org/10.1037/bul0...

#psychsky #gender #stereotype #research
63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less.

They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time.

When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Wo strukturelle Machtungleichheit herrscht, versuchen alle Seiten ihre Macht auf Kosten anderer auszudehnen. Auch durch das Vorenthalten von Informationen. Das hört erst auf, wenn wir die Machtfrage aus dem System nehmen.

Eine andere demokratische Zukunft ist möglich.

Seems like plainclothed agents who obscure their faces, roaming the streets, and kidnapping a student who is there on a valid visa without a warrant, in broad daylight, is a sign of how things are escalating in the US.
Video of masked ICE agents surrounding and detaining Rumeysa Ozturk, Tufts PhD student and worker, has now been shared on IG. Please take action against this absurdity!

Early voting special election to gain control of Congress.

Already cheating! Registering to vote for special election online was down to prevent the mail in votes. I predict widespread fraud all the way to the Supreme Court.

I'm having to show up after working 16 hours midnight shift.
Are you?

Trump is targeting law firms that defend federal employees, expanding his campaign of retaliation against lawyers he opposes. A new memorandum threatens to use government power to punish any firm that, in his view, unfairly challenges his administration.
