Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Disgusting and unsurprising.... I remember "Blue Dog" democrats voting for Reagan's program, including his bad tax cuts, and many so called dems supporting nafta which gutted communities and the middle class ...... here they are again folding to the fascists ... as I hear it -

@davidhogg.bsky.social I donated to you (a little). I now believe you should choose .... stop working to primary Dems or resign from the DNC. TheDNC is a Party that depends on cohesion from leadership. it's a simple principle. I have highly respected your activism ... please get this right.

The plan was simple. It started by retiring all government employees by offering them incentives to leave and never return. To avoid anarchy and keep authority, the police and military would be retained. theconversation.com/friday-essay...

The Washington Post called Curtis Yarvin’s blog ‘required reading for the extremely online right’. He advocates for the end of democracy – and a governing monarch.

DOGE's cuts to USAID "have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children" I don't think it's an exaggeration to say Elon Musk is a mass murderer, and GOP Congressmembers are his accomplices They, too, should be asked in every interview 'why did you help Elon kill those kids?'
