If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

A Turkish student wrote an op-ed. ICE revoked her visa & abducted her—no hearing, no due process, no exit option. Just silenced. This is not border control. This is political punishment. And if words are a crime now, we are all in danger. This is fascism in plain sight.

Lately I've been thinking about the dynamics of big paradigm shifts. These are the grand systemic socio-political shifts which happen slowly over decades but abruptly shift in a short time, usually after a chaos period like we are in now. This video is helping www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlbJ...

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts."

Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them.

This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

Nobody implies that a CEO hiring a tax lawyer to ensure he pays as little of possible of his rightful taxes has compromised his dignity. That's "smart"

The best trick the rich ever pulled was making poor people feel personally ashamed for a system that put them exactly where it intended to put them
