lees het hele draadje. Helaas worden burgers die op rechtse partijen stemmen die zeggen op te komen voor de gewone man om de tuin geleid: ook deze coalitie vermindert belastingen voor de rijksten, en snijdt fors in de bronnen van welvaart voor iedereen (zoals onderwijs). #vermogensongelijkheid

Another week, another protest actumion against the proposed government cutbacks to higher education - which remain both unwanted and unnecessary (if not to say: asinine). #WOINACTIE #DoeHetNiet

It won't be just the LA Times and Washington Post. It will be your employer, your university, your school district, and your local elected officials. They will all cave and engage in anticipatory obedience to fascism because of their cowardice and greed. Your institutions will not save you.
