It would be irresponsible not to assume that the amount of violence the president, intentionally or not, will be prone to urging his most unstable followers to embark on...in retaliation for the assassination of Charlie Kirk...is something every U.S. citizen should hold in their mind as high risk.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.
Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.
So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.
Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

On this day in 1991, Soviet hardliners staged a coup on Mikael Gorbachev, as generals held him at his vacation dacha which was repelled as Moscow Mayor Boris Yeltsin stood on a tank with a megaphone convincing soldiers to stand down.
The coup ended in 3 days. The USSR collapsed by year's end.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.
