'Bannon advances a vision of the United States as a bunker in its own right, one in which Ice agents stalk the streets, workplaces and campuses, disappearing those deemed enemies of US policy and interests.'

The rise of end times fascism | Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor
The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

I don’t know why this came out looking like a cartoon, but I LOVE the colors! Google says Norway Maple, but I am not sure. I know they tend to have purple in their leaves. #Photography #PNW

Trickle down economics does NOT work. Cutting taxes to corporations and wealthy individuals won't ultimately benefit the rest of us. It's been proven over and over. Even a slight increase in wealth taxes could support all of us.

"Hush, Horatio. Did you not hear the Dark Lord's call? Go now and summon the others, for it is the time of The Reaping. Soon we shall be bathing in the blood of our enemies."

I have more chilling stories for you today: A story of 11 y.o Ukrainian boy who didn’t leave his house for 4 years hiding from Russian soldiers so they don’t take him away. Why they were trying to ? Because he refused to go to a Russian school .

European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO. 

This highly unusual gambit left diplomats shaken after the meeting.

They saved me once.
