It’s deeply encouraging to see footage of hostages reuniting with their families and to see Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza.

There are obviously many more steps to achieving a lasting peace but today’s developments should give us all a profound sense of hope.

Hey, Mayor of Chicago! Can you have your police arrest the guy who murdered Silverio Villegas González? And put the killer’s ass in jail? And have the DA file charges against the killer?

DO IT NOW! We The People are FURIOUS.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, don't forget that she called Osama bin Laden a freedom fighter, Nelson Mandela a terrorist, General Pinochet a friend. And Jimmy Savile 'Sir'.

The State of Alaska is using its resources to help rescue people endangered by the typhoon.

The U.S. government is doing nothing.

Time for a tax revolt. This federal gov’t is at war with We The People and we’d be INSANE to pay for that war.

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

Since 1917, Moscow’s use of “illegals” and sleeper cells (NKVD → KGB → FSB) has been a tool of subversion. Democracies need coordinated counterintelligence, stronger institutions, and sustained diplomacy to meet the threat.

Russian illegals and NKVD/KGB/FSB sleepers have been strategy to defeat & conquer the West since beginning of Soviet “empire” in 1917 and continues through the XXI century. The highest time to respond and crush this wet dream of Russian imperialism.

Every time someone drops into my comments asking about a general strike, I have to remind folks that unlike in Europe we have at will employment here allowing essentially anyone to be fired at any time for any reason, and health insurance tied to employment.

The amount of organizing
