Don’t count on getting another free election.
The Last Election
The presidential election in 2024 may be the last free vote taken in the United States. Dictatorships only hold elections with predetermined outcomes or do not hold them at all. Trump is no exception.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Neoliberalism what got us here. On MLK Day, remember the worst enemies of the Abolitionists weren’t the slavers, it was the Liberals saying slavery can’t be ended because that would disrupt the economy but we should give better meals to slaves. They still do it.

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot
