A serious study from a Harvard University political scientist presents a statistic worth remembering: Around the world, once 3.5% of the population became engaged in sustained, non-violent campaigns of resistance, change has always happened.Democracy is inevitable, when the people are determined.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

2. The article belies a total lack of understanding of what constitutes actual storytelling. It calls the forgettable clip the writer produced "surprisingly witty" and never even thinks to grapple with the demonstrated inability of "A.i." to deal with complex storytelling or even basic continuity.

Deeply embarrassing that Scientific American would lend its name to this claptrap.

NEW: Justice Anthony Kennedy authored the Citizens United decision & today released a memoir still defending his ruling that lets oligarchs buy elections - yet he's also saying he worries democracy may not survive.

And none of the media he's granting interviews has asked him about Citizens United.

Anthony Kennedy Is Trying To Find The Guy Who Did This

The retired Supreme Court Justice who authored Citizens United is suddenly worried about the future of democracy.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.
