I love this post because it's evergreen. You can apply the concepts succinctly written in it to dismantle Capitalism as well. Social hygiene is a great way to argue for the extinction of the concept of billionaires.
I went to our small one where I live as well. I just saw a lot of anti-Trump people with no real demands or vision for anything. Felt more like a VBNMW/Lesser Evils parade.

Just to reiterate what I said - the "No Kings" protest was a step forward and good. I was at our protest in Denver. I just think it's important for it to be a genuine step away from the Brunch Liberalism that got America to this point in the first place.
I tend to think the "No Kings" protest is a step forward for Resistance Libs - a sign normies belatedly see the crisis. The danger is many still think once Trump is gone, everyone gets to go back to brunch rather than force Dems to deliver, which will only restart the cycle that brought us Trump.
Wasn't the power of the Tea Party Movement largely just Koch funded lobbying and Grover Norquist's tax pledge that he got legislators to sign? I want No Kings to have an effect, but I've yet to see any impact, what's the "or else"? Tea Party's "or else" was primarying people.

Losses will be higher in states more enrolled in ACA:
Texas: 83,400
Florida: 57,500
Georgia: 33,600
California: 20,300
South Carolina: 13,100
Tennessee: 12,300
Alabama: 9,100
Louisiana: 7,000
North Carolina: 6,900
Mississippi: 6,700
These 10 states will lose 250,000 jobs, 3/4 of jobs lost across US
"researchers have estimated that the end of enhanced tax credits will lead to 7.3 mill people losing their ACA coverage in 2026, of whom 4.8 mill would become uninsured. The loss of the additional subsidies are projected to increase how much...enrollees must pay...from an avg of $888 to $1,904/year"
Expiring ACA Premium Tax Credits Could Lead to Nearly 340,000 Jobs Lost Across the U.S. in 2026
Unless Congress acts quickly to extend the enhanced ACA marketplace premium tax credits, nearly 5 million people could lose health insurance coverage in 2026.

It's very important for liberals to always be committed to coming up with reasons to be lazy and never do or try anything, and to shit on the people (in this case in Montana) actually doing the hard work to try to change things. This is praxis among liberals.
If only Citizens United could be defeated by One Weird Trick. Let's be clear: even if Montana succeeds in this, all it will do is change the name of who signs the checks.
This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.
100% agree. There is a difference between organization and mobilization and the #NoKings mobilization of the "normies" (not a pejorative), is fantastic.

I'm no political scientist, but I've always viewed Fascism and Liberalism as fingers on the same hand. Perfectly capable of balling up into a fist to preserve the hierarchy the elites benefit from.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:
The deficiencies of this team were a decade of cap in the making. This is the price of 3 straight finals runs + drafting very poorly in the top 60. You can't always find a Palat or undrafted Tyler Johnson.
4 points from 12 available is no bueno. It's about the result you'd expect from the on ice product though.
Deserved Loss. Team still has no identity and disappears for 2/3 of the game. 7 shots through 35 minutes is just flaccid.
Only one person there giving big dick energy...

Secret documents. Never-before-seen photos. A mysterious vinyl record.

For the first time, The Lever is exposing the secret plot that legalized corruption.

You think you know this story, but you don’t because it’s all been secret — until now👇

Look at the dangerous hateful billionaire funded mobbists

Have you ever seen anything carrier in your entire fucking life
In the middle of all this the inflatable costume crowd has arrived and is throwing a rave? Mosh? At the end of the free speech zone closest to the ICE facility.
7 shots on goal through 35 minutes is not a recipe for repeatable success.
They've been building that for the entire period really. Better team in this frame for sure.
