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.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

#VenturaCounty #California updated list of DHS ICE raid vehicles.

Some have license plates, some are ghost plates, some have none, some switch plates with other vehicles.

These were mainly surveilled at 321 Cortez Circle, #Camarillo, AKA the hole.

Please share esp among CA folks to watch.

Ok everyone, I’m assigning you your resistance homework for the week.

Everyone ready?

Do something silly that makes you smile. I just waved at a dog that had its head out the car window because it made me happy. Don’t let the assholes take your joy.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
