This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

But compared to the situation Germans found themselves in the latter part of the 1930s, we in Western democracies have so. much. power.
So use it! Don't fall into the trap of despair!
Every act of resistance is a grain of sand in the wheels and can alter history meaningfully, at least for some!

The video shows Zelenskyy shaking Presidential Advisor Andriy Yermak’s hand outside the presidential palace for the last time before Yermak steps into his car and leaves his post. His resignation, tied to a $100 million embezzlement scandal in the energy sector, marks more than a departure.

When you’re trailing in a baseball game it’s really important to score runs. If you don’t score runs, you can’t come back. And you can’t win unless you come back. That’s why it’s important to score runs when you’re trailing.

And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.
