Autocracy would not work with our system of governance called federalism. It's a system of governance that divides power between a national government and state governments. US Constitution recognizes system of dual sovereignty no king

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

Whether it’s women he assaults, people he defrauds, police officers defending the Capitol, or countries invaded by murderous dictators, Trump always blames the victims.

One of the critical differences between Hungary and Poland versus what we are seeing in the United States right now is the complete dismantling of the administrative state. That didn't happen in Hungary. It didn't happen in Poland. Hell, it didn't even happen in Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was never held accountable for Samoa. If/when he is responsible for diseases spreading, this time around, he better be indicted when we take over. He's only here because once again, we ignored the crimes of wealthy white men.

The Democrats are running scared. They have security if necessary. The American people are out there among militarized cops. We have to shield the protesters with our bodies. We are willing to hold the line for freedom. The alternative is a non starter. The courts are now only defense.

Don't give me any more empty promises or white toothed grins. The American people are toothless, hungry with a home down by the river. We are the most powerful when we are motivated by hunger and have no hope. This is a joke right. It's not really happening. The coup is complete

By not considering and solving for how to include the disabled, you are intentionally choosing to exclude them. It’s not an ‘oops’. #disability #accessibility

#ICC-AKI & #USCC-AKI One ready for the #DefundMusk campaign. Use this to post liberally all over social media. You can also print postcards to use to stick on ALL #Tesla charging stations and put under windshield wipers of Tesla vehicles seen in parking lots as you are out and about. Pass it on!
Musk is the richest man in the world. He calls Americans crippled by illness, disability and old age the parasite class. Tesla drivers are traitors! The American public will not guarantee or defend your safety or your vehicle's safety from vandalism! Owners are advised to sell now before your investment is worth less than nothing.
