These are the words of my heart… there is little hope of any free and fair elections in the future. Women and the marginalized will be further silenced.

Unrelated to the subject matter in the article: Historical correction - Anne Frank did not live in the Jordaan. The family Frank lived on the Merwedeplein in the Rivierenbuurt. Her father’s office, today’s Anne Frank House museum, where they hid, is in the Jordaan.

I would make a request to devs for websites that provide health info: Please make sure your site works on the more secure browsers. I've run across quite a few sites that don't work on Firefox but will work on Chrome. I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea what elements are causing the problems.
If the only browser that can reliably read the content of a particular site is Chrome, then I have to choose between using the Browser of Evil, trying to find a different site that will work, or not getting the info.
This is exactly how I feel.
I don't think America will ever be the same.
I am so shocked that in my lifetime, things have gone to hell in a handbasket.
I don't understand what people want?
Do they really not see the dismal future?
It's undoubtedly true that 2M more voted for fascism than did in 2020. It's also true that as of November 21, Harris lags Biden's 2020 vote by 7M. Democrats can only control what they control, and must devise a strategy to win. That demands introspection and real change to defeat the fascists.
While I agree that lack of atonement for Southern crimes against humanity has led to re-framing armed revolution against the US as something heroic, and fueled Jim Crow and white supremacy to this day, I reject any insinuated call for violence. That's the fever dream of our enemies abroad.
We have an incoming Commander in Chief who has openly advocated for the "termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” has vowed “rout the fake news media,” has promised to be a"dictator on day one"
and is a clear and present danger to the Republic.
There are concrete plans to round up millions of people "for deportation," the suspension of habeas corpus, indefinite detention and use of the National Guard (not covered by the Posse Comitatus Act) to do so.
There are no Allies capable of defeating this iteration of fascism, and even when there were, the defeat came after 16 million people had already been murdered.
It is clear from history that the responsibility to act decisively to prevent genocide lies with the citizenry of the nation planning it.
Of course. I understand all of that. I agree with your assessment. But I'm not going to devolve into a recourse of violence and debase myself to their level. My badge is with Gandhi and Rev. Dr. King. That doesn't mean the fight is abandoned. To the contrary, it's not even begun yet.

What I want to share is there are a wide range of reasons people do not report sexual assault, even to trusted individuals, let alone the police
And we will be feeling this for generations without our absent families.
Because we will all be dead.

It looks exactly like how I’m feeling. Here’s one for you, from Canada (terribly long, sorry):

Microsoft Edge uses the same rendering engine as Chrome, and whilst far from perfect is less nosey.
UBlock Origin can also help as limits ad telemetry.

Unless and until the good people of the US are willing to defeat the Southern Strategy, by any means necessary, we will continue to lose.
John Brown and General Sherman had a point.

Our enemies abroad have already won.

Fuck. I read this line and collapsed, sobbing.
Fuck YOU America.
Fuck YOU Alberta, for a voting for this.
Fuck YOU Canada, for next year.
