I know this is meant to be a joke, but somehow, it's not. It's a little too close to what is actually happening. 😔

Fascistd identify themselves with the nation as such. Therefore, for instance, protesting against what the fascist regime is doing is characterized as a “hate America” rally. Our opponents have no ideas, they claim, they just hate America. “Not supporting us is unpatriotic.”

Protesting against ICE is being framed as “violent attacks against ICE” without any evidence. To fascists, protests against fascism are by definition, violent attacks, because in their fragility they are unable to tolerate dissent. “Peace” to a fascist means “everyone is obeying us.”

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.

In ordinary times, Americans go about their daily lives without much worry about who is running the Office of Management and Budget, a powerful, low-profile agency tasked with executing the federal budget.

These are not ordinary times. @contrariannews.org

1. In 2022, Jeff Bezos promised to give away the majority of his wealth during his lifetime.

It is not going well.

Since making the pledge, his net worth has almost doubled to $240 billion.

Meanwhile, he has given less than $5 billion to charity.
Jeff Bezos Can’t Give Away His Money
Maybe he should ask his ex-wife.
