Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

This was decades ago. Still, perhaps more than ever, relevant.

Relevant. Now.

Ben Meiselas on MSM: "We’re beyond a constitutional crisis. America’s living in a dictatorship right now. And the question is, how will an opposition respond to a dictatorship?... This is not a time to be playing games."

‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle

His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

The CEO of GoFundMe just said the economy is so bad that more of his customers are crowdfunding on the platform just to afford groceries. Yet another terrifying recession indicator—another massive, red, blinking light for Trump and the Republicans to ignore.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Holy crap. This is terrible.

The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.

The Trump admin trying to incite violence is super cringey because everyone knows that’s what they’re doing. Picture future historians watching that monotone dimwit Kristi Noem get clowned by a city in frog costumes while pretending it’s a war zone. We’re in the dumbest timeline.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
