"Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health." Albert Camus

How Fascism Wins, chapter 8: overweight, uneducated, violent, not very smart men (and some women) find their calling, and their $50,000 signing bonus.

Complaints of the Founding Fathers against the King of England. They tried to set things up so this would never happen again. Draw your own conclusions.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among US: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

IF YOU EVER FEEL HEAVY BECAUSE YOU CARE DEEPLY ABOUT INJUSTICE, SUFFERING AND ECOLOGICAL DESTRUCTION. REMEMBER THAT A TRILLION DOLLAR PROPAGANDA MACHINE WAS BUILT TO MAKE YOU NUMB AND IT DIDN'T WORK ON YOU

Lana "not yet begun to fight" @Lana@beige.party If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes. If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working. If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to "do it the right way" If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals. If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution. If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border. If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy. And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.

The Goose and the Common Authors unknown - a number of versions©1700s The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common But leaves the greater villain loose Who steals the common from off the goose The law demands that we atone When we take things we do not own But leaves the lords and ladies fine Who take things that are yours and mine

That last line hits hard
@MichellCClark: they made healthcare a commodity, education a debt trap, and housing a speculation market-then told you that poverty is a personal failing. they privatized survival and called it freedom.

Sandra Boynton‘s son wrote this yesterday.
poem by Keith Boynton, written July 4, 2025. You do not love her less when her skirts are torn, her standard bloody, dragging in the mud, her ankles fettered, chafed, her eyes cast down, her ghoulish captors dancing her defeat; this is the time, instead, to love her more, with all the frequency of desperate hope, which sees, beyond the black horizon, fire that may be battle, or the burst of dawn.
