#TheOutpost Herbs that heal

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

While many of you are likely yelling "GO USA" or "GO CANADA!" I'm yelling "GO literally any elected member of congress and the rule of law, please, anyone or a single check or a solitary balance or—

One of the most terrifying, brilliantly written, balanced and relevant books I have ever read. I’ve always thought Rees was an exceptional historian, this reaffirms that view.

I have an excessive amount of rage that Harris/Walz didn’t get elected. 😅😅😅😭😭😭

Plain and simple. Review the history, from several sources, ask questions, make the connections.

New nightly horror nonfiction just dropped. Off to buy from a local store.

Some folks will meme their way right into a dictatorship and lol all the way. When they realize their mistake, it will be someone else's fault. "I was just coping with humor." No, you encouraged, allowed, desensitized, provoked, and normalized it all with your 'humor'.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

This is a self-inflicted wound, harming the economy - an uptick in unemployed and loss of salaries does not benefit the public. Companies cannot do business, are losing contracts that impact their future Individual humans, domestic companies, and all communities are losing Only the ultra rich gain

As each day passes and most of the minority party members refuse to step up and become Opposition Party members, it becomes more and more obvious that an entirely new Party - an active one not held in thrall - is increasingly necessary.

Can't test if there are no tests, therefore no one has it!

Look, I love Executive Orders. And I [huge eyeroll] helped write a couple. But EOs are not laws. They are polite requests to executive branch agencies who if they want to, can say, “we are working to achieve the objectives outlined in the Executive Order, and will update you in the future. [laughs]”

Every dollar "saved" is a dollar not going towards the economy: salaries, contracts, services, etc. They are literally taking money for America and the American people and claiming they are "saving". They view the American people as a waste of money. That is all you are to them.

So is reading, apparently.

Zelenskyy correctly states that only 1% of Ukrainians support concessions. He is the president of a democracy and therefore listens to his people. That is what Trump doesn't get. Democracy. Voice of the people. He was elected by 30% of US voters, if they knew how they'ld be impacted it'd be less.

Guilty dog barking on the right. Some of our current leaders are doing a great job convincing me we should bring corporal punishment back - but just for them.

I don't know much about British politics but I do now know that Conservative means the same thing as in the US and I wouldn't touch that with a 39 1/2 foot pole.

Panopticon! At the Dystopia

This is how Costco takes Taco Bell's place in Demolition Man.

When they ban a book, find it and read it.

Knowledge is power…

Official petition to have Cillian Murphy star in a Talking Heads biopic.

The argument is that bribes at enad because corporations will have more expenses. Morality and fairness are so far lost in the administration that it's not even a consideration.

Late to catch this but Disney's Wish went hard on revolution. Who knew it was a good movie for these times?

"Paved Paradise to put up a parking lot" is an unfortunately common theme for the short sighted.

"Maybe the Poors Should Try Starving"

The biggest problem with most of you is you think Kendrick Lamar is your revolutionary friend. Luigi Mangione is your revolutionary friend.

So that's how we break this spell!

The U.S. pours $1.7T into the failed F-35 jet and $3.8B/year into Israel while 43M Americans suffocate under $1.6T in student debt. Bombs get paid for, but people get crushed. Want to help Americans? Cancel the debt. Stop funding genocide.

Weaponizes incompetence is code word for male housemate, regardless of relationship status. Change my mind.

Whoever let M. Night Shamalayan write the final season of America should be fired.

FAFO

Be heard! Call. Protest. Meet. Attend town halls. Be visible.
