Peaceful protest is a legitimate right, not a threat to be answered with violence and suppression. We stand with the people of Iran—and for human dignity and a future no longer built on fear and poverty. @eduinternational.bsky.social

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

From everything I can find, it sounds like yes, Trump is at least heavily implying and encouraging the military to use deadly force against American citizens, residents, and others on American soil. I bet the Tuesday meeting of the generals is to inform them he’s declaring martial law.
