I honestly don’t think there’s a single figure in American history who has fundamentally shifted the way I understand the world I live in more radically than Fred Hampton. once you know the story you can’t un-know it and you see it repeated everywhere
The FEDS drugged and shot Fred Hampton in bed.
Philly cops blew up a building in the 1980s and most people don't even know the MOVE bombing happened.
I think you're downplaying how normalized US death is.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

Just imagine if rather than flushing a billion dollars down the toilet every four years on ineffectual TV ads in Pennsylvania, Democratic donors put that money into creating a durable information infrastructure the way Republicans have
NEW: In 2024, right-wing donors gave over $260 million in tax-deductible contributions to nonprofit conservative media outlets.
Recipients included orgs running "pink slime" sites and fake news pages on Facebook.

Even if the thing we all pray for to happen were to happen, there is another layer of psychopaths beneath him who would still be in power.
Our elected lawmakers are failing us and not even engaging in the available legal means to slow him down, much less to remove him.
It’s a horrifying situation.

Also, a lot of great examples here of why Dan Goldman just straight up sucks on his own merits:
He voted for warrantless wiretapping on citizens. He’d build the border wall, if it was just more affordable, instead of calling it out as a xenophobic garbage proposal designed to whip people into a state of fear over immigration.

Just got finished with my second court date. The State of Illinois is continuing to prosecute me for seemingly not being docile, throwing my hands up and saying "I can't do anything" when ICE was operating a torture facility in my backyard in #Broadview. They know I didn't do anything wrong.

obviously we should not impeach this deranged lunatic who has his hand over the nuke button, right?
Trump: "I single-handedly ENDED 8 WARS, and Norway, a NATO Member, foolishly chose not to give me the Noble Peace Prize. But that doesn’t matter! What does matter is that I saved Millions of Lives ... I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM."

consolidated state media (Larry Ellison owning CBS, TikTok, Warner Brothers and CNN) would be decidedly worse than whatever homogenized cack Netflix has planned for HBO and the Batman IP
"The Paramount bid brings it own set of concerns because it would place CNN under the control of the billionaire Ellisons," Rep. Nadler says during today's #HouseAntitrust hearing.
"Presumably the Ellisons would similarly [to CBS News] seek to make CNN more Trump friendly."

The Democratic base is social democratic, writes Harold Meyerson. Polling shows this to consistently be the case, with Democrats seeking universal programs, public ownership, and systemic solutions to the upward redistribution of income, wealth, and political power.

I have nothing but contempt for this kind of thinking or political advocacy; anyone who joins this man's campaign is taking up with the opposition.
He waves no battle standard, his white flag is ironed, clean, unimprovised, and ready to be unfurled.
