This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Without 20 years of Fox News MAGA would have started and ended on Day 1
They (and the MAGA echo chamber are the enemy
And no - it’s not “CENSORSHIP!” or “DEEP STATE” - it’s the thing that convinced millions a felon was the right choice to uphold the rule of law
It is America the grift.
Blame your party...and yourself.
This shit has been forming for decades, and you knew it.
And did nothing...until it was too late.
And still, beyond your incessant complaints, you're not really DOING anything.
So here's a mirror, George.
And thanks for nothing.
I'll just borrow, it's not stealing because I'm taking the image and leaving a gif; Paraphrasing Daliso Chaponda 🌟🦁🧲
i agree.
And i follow George.
And his voice is an interesting one.
But...we need action, and not so much talk.
The time for talking is over.
We've tried that.
It doesn't work.
So, let's hear less about the complaints, and more about the solutions.
This bubble is getting old.

Stay abreast of news?
Repeated calling of reps?
Protest in person?
Talk to our neighbors?
Remind and share on what’s not normal?
??
Lobby your local, state and federal reps.
Participate in boycotts and street protests.
Recruit like-minded people to join your effort.
Vote.
Find the organizations and people that best represent your interests.
Support them.
Participate.
And resist.
How about you?
Where are his chops in the real world?
What organizations does he belong to or support?
How does he support them?
How is he bringing his legal talents to bear?
Is he involved, in any capacity, with ANY litigation on behalf of The People?
(asking for a friend)
At first blush, you're right.
Still, beware of wooden critters bearing gifts.
After all, notwithstanding Abe or Ike, modern day republicans got us in this mess to begin with.
I don't trust them.
These days, from George to Adam to Liz, seems all they're doing is fanning the fire, as MAGA wants.

Now, what plan do we
have to dispose of the
threat?
Action…action is required
I think he’s unable to formulate a plan, such
is the state of affairs
Always…or I wouldn’t
seek it from others
Those with position have power, and power must
be used—especially in
times like this
Leaves us with personal action and the possibility
of active revolution
A populace can be held
down for only so long
See French and Russian revolutions, to say nothing
of our founding revolution
Maybe that's part of the problem. Not maybe.
It wasn't "just" Cuba. It isn't.
The difference is that now it's affecting you guys more.
You don't start to fix this by electing Clinton, Obama or Kamala.
We all need to change our ways, and some (many) need to go the Luigi/Robespierre way.
all a piece of khrushchev’s folly & putin’s madness : destroy democracy & prove the theory of autocracy’s supremacy.
republicans aren’t that smart : they only want rich people to stay fat & happy, stealing all the wealth.
I don’t even think we are grooming our next leaders!
"The Business Plot ... was a political conspiracy in 1933, in the US, to overthrow the government of Pres. Roosevelt and install ... Butler as dictator."

We're despised and unless you're a nazi, we're a threat. Amerika
Well less than 30 days into his presidency and half of the USA citizens have proved that thought correct!
Wake up people!
How vile!
Just cut out online purchases, no gas, no entertainment unless local bar, no large chain restaurants - should be obvious what to avoid to make an economic statement WE THE PEOPLE (non billionaires) matter.
Participate so we help each other and you’re belief in democracy is supported - strength in numbers;
For now, your lawn signs should simply say “Democracy.”
During an election period support the best Democrat candidate.
Remember, you stand for Democracy.

Reagan & the turnip are far more alike than they are different…
a b-Actor & a reality TV “billionaire” LARPing president to the least-common-denominator-left-hand-side-of-the-intellectual-bell-curve…
The turnip has even been re-running Reagan’s ad campaigns & Middle-East scams…
(Keep them dumb and make them think we are "Christian";)
The only one I couldn't stand as much as chump was Reagan.
When my Kids were little they love School House Rocks
Very educational their first taste of how government works. It was taken off the air 1985 during Reagan.
The last time I checked, I'm owed NOTHING but clean air and water. So, what is it, exactly, that we OWE Repub households that aren't OWED to Dem households? The answer to that should be interesting.
we need all the good stories we can find these days
I can picture that vividly! How satisfying.
These people are about to learn a very horrible lesson. Shame they had to drag us along for the experience.
It all starts there. I'd wager 95% of the Repubs have no CLUE as to what they are reading. It's that or they are card carrying dyed in the wool racists. It really IS the ONLY explanation.
I guess fate decided otherwise.
I expect to witness several revolutions and probably WW3.
It’s going to happen faster than we think.
This is serious.
The American Social Contract is completely destroyed.
It’s not going to end well.
Alas, these people have to get voted in so who do we blame, the politicians or the dregs who vote for them.

And it is not accidental either - see my pinned thread.
Fascist rulers from Hitler to Mussolini have quoted how American legal systems for Black and indigenous peoples was their framework.
We Charge Genocide and other anti-fascist groups have been warning us for 70 years.
The founding of the UN carved out loopholes for the US to be exempt from its perpetual abuses
The Hollander Act of 1901 forced many rural families to sell their generational land.
farmlands were centralized to sugar mills for industrialization of sugar and tobacco. The working conditions were as one could assume for 1898-1945 colony
Holy Shit, we used to hold the President up as being the BEST of us. I wouldn't let this filth clean out a rat cage. Trust me, there are millions of us who are just as disgusted as you.
But I also want one saying ‘Dear world, we will fix this’

WE, the world weep for the USA

If we are to get this world moving in a better direction then the TYPES of people that follow those flags MUST be eradicated. I'm not so certain RELIGION shouldn't be the fifth flag seeing as religion is DIRECTLY behind the other 4. Am I wrong?
Many already have - spontaneously - and it takes just 3.5-5% of us. START NOW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSehRlU34w & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o78lMMJZlM0
I don’t see how this doesn’t get violent. It’s going to get much worse before it possibly gets better, if it gets better.
This is bad, now. The capitulation of Congressional Republicans is extraordinary.
I would think the bulk of the E1-E5 in the military are pretty MAGA populist/culture warriors. But generally speaking the NCOs and officers I’ve met in my life have been extremely decent.
Officers usually get some in respect of the constitutional basis for leading troops.
99.9% of any character shaping is devoted to surviveability on the battlefield, so when demobbed it's likely they will revert (or worse) to the societal norm.

Now Patel is wasting money going back and spending a fortune on investigating James Comey!
Grateful Dead do a great version.
Bonnie Dobson wrote it.
It’s about the Apocalypse.
“There’s no need for you to be worried about all those people”
Just heartbreaking lyrics;

Never in my wild imagination could I have imagined this moment for our country. We are on the edge of a precipice.
" Emotionally exhausted and morally bankrupt." This, Mr. Conway, is where we are headed.
We were warned, decades ago.
And still, almost half of us knowingly chose the monster.
This indicts us as much as it indicts them.
Blame blind consumerism, corporate greed, governmental complicity and the transnational military industrial complex that fuels it.
While we sit and stare.
While it's an outrage that there's probable cause to investigate whether Musk, et. al., manipulated the election, (and more so since there hasn't been one audit, recount or investigation), i trust that, either way, in W. PA, there's a mandate for fascism.
Not so much in the East.
Here's why.
You're singing to the choir.....
Indeed.
This platform sorely needs a 'sad button'.
And this nation needs better education and a higher degree of economic dignity...for all.
Make it so.

Trump and illegal alien Musk just want to see the Constitution burn.

Too bad Luigi is locked up right now.
Another horror that hasn’t gotten attention is the atrocity of Trump shutting down— and I have no doubt, stealing OUR National Parks!
Using ridiculous distractions, I’m sure, to hide it.
#TrumpIsaFelon
And as we know laws don’t apply to them— they do as they damned well please.
Trump started his land grab in his 1st disastrous term. Project 2025 gives clear evidence of this criminal’s plan.
It’s heartbreaking!
Once those were on the table- Sarah Palin errr- then I jumped!
you think the GOP would allow mandatory vote ?
You won't be seeing much more of that after last Nov.
Considering it's, "like" basically the entire set of laws that the Orange Idiot wants to burn.

I also have not seen anything like what is occurring to-day in this World either.
We are supposedly richer than when I was born but yet we are more impoverished to-day than we were way back then and that includes this old World we call home.
‼️Trump / Musk / MSM
‼️ A whole lot of rot in between.

The reason: Fascists on the march again, promoting it.
Chomsky is just a linguist. But you guys treat him as if he’s some expert in other areas. It’s just his fucking opinion. that’s all. Pick a better source.
Exactly what word should we use for an individual that is told and shown how BAD a person is (Trump) yet still somehow discerns all the fantasy lies being peddled are gospel? Boggled!
Republicans decided to suck every
buck out of our air, water, and earth,
without regard to consequences,
conscience, or even consciousness.

Sadly, in the 1600's, if there was a tyrant, you migrate to the America's. in 2025, there is nowhere left to run. Here, we either fight or die trying. There is nowhere left.
Quite the conundrum we're all being placed.
