The Revolution will not be televised.
A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Saving so much time now. Used to spend hours on Meta. Now I hit BlueSky for a few minutes a day. Sweet.

I really hope that once the pain subsides a bit our side of the political spectrum can have some introspective, real-talk about our role in electing a fascist. We suck at introspective real-talk. Fingers are pointing at different D factions, and no one is saying “yeah we fucked that up”. We must.

Perception is the truth people use to navigate through life in the absence of facts. That perception is influenced and shaped by both self and others.
The human mind cannot stand not having closure. It's why when I see someone just turned a year older and say, "Happy______!" your brain fills it in.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

Seriously, how do we not learn from history? 45 is a HUGE fan of Hitler. He studied him. Tried to adopt his mannerisms. Used so many of his tactics. How did all of America not see this?

If you want to know who your politicians are really working for, watch where they run when things ramp up.
As for the news from Abkhazia, the protesters have not dispersed. Earlier, the opposition gave President Aslan Bzhania an hour to resign, but he refused and then allegedly fled to a Russian military base. Video is from a few hours ago.

Watching Trump's cabinet choices has begun to provide startling clarity on how he ended up bankrupting those casinos.

But Democrats are steeped in this politics-is-a-contact-sport machismo that makes them think we’re still doing politics.

Trump is running a Slow Insurrection. Any Democrat who participates in it by treating him or his insurrectionists as politicians is obeying in advance.

Remember, If you can still ask yourself, "Am I still in the fight?" you're still in it. It's only after you can't ask questions any longer that you're truly out of the fight, and you'll never be conscious of when that moment has occurred.
