One of the kids killed at the camp is the direct descendant of oil baron HL Hunt (& it goes without saying it is all horrific)
we’ve reached the stage of climate change where capitalists actions are resulting in the deaths not just of the poor and vulnerable but of their own kids and grand kids

The states are the only remaining power structure that has a real chance of checking the federal govt.
The feds are given powers by the states, and we can withdraw our consent. We can refuse to pay taxes to a corrupt system that does not act in the people’s interest.

I think the correct thing is for state governments to pass legislation to seize federal employment taxes to make up the promised shortfall and put them directly to their own coffers.
This unlawful withholding of funds needs to stop. There are so many Coloradans depending on this funding and the ripple effects will have no political boundaries.

The Dems are trying to convince us we have no power. This is not only about explaining his own lack of action, it’s to convince us to not take action. That there’s nothing to be done. But the people united is the only power left.

Instead of moaning and blaming each other how about a general strike? This is all about, as it is ALWAYS all about, LABOR.
We still and always have the power but we must exercise it collectively.
General strike. Now.

This is the goal. To crush us wage slaves under their boots until all we can do is beg for more. They want the economy to crash. They want us to suffer.
The only thing to debate is why. Personally I think the big goal is to crush wages. That serves several purposes, including bosses paying out less money while creating a desperate and humiliated underclass just happy to land a job. Other theories seem plausible, but I think wages is the big one.

Coup. A legit, oligarch-led coup.

And this happens in juvenile facilities, aka to kids, it happens to people who are innocent, to people who haven’t yet been convicted of any crime, to people who are incarcerated for being unable to pay fines, to people under acute mental health crises …
When people yell about concentration camps as if they’re a new problem, I have to wonder if most Americans have any understanding of what goes on in US jails and prisons. Forced labor? People with mental health issues being hogtied and suffocated to death? Years of solitary confinement?
