Parallel systems must be ready. If democratic institutions get hijacked, alternative governance must step up. This means cities, states, and underground networks taking the reins.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?
A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable. " Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

What if, hear me out, but what would happen if an 85% majority of the courts JUST BELOW SCOTUS overrule and IGNORE their rulings? Push SCOTUS out from underneath.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

The Silence from anyone at all in Power trying to locate these missing people is horrible as it is not a single bit surprising.

Go do a deep dive into the orphans / homeless of America and the story will be the same. They have practiced this somewhere previously I would bet.

Hundreds of people who were once detained at "Alligator Alcatraz" have disappeared.

Lawyers and family members have been unable to reach them.

It’s as if they never existed.

What did the government do to them?

So. Very. True.

Just imagine,

if every person born had been kept away from religion until he/she was of an age to be introduced to it AFTER having lived 18(?) years life under education based on solid, documented, and verifiable information.

Most would laugh at the ridiculousness of religion.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Again, I've yet to see these folk protesting Trump's legacy of genocide (have they not seen the "Trump Gaza" video?) I've yet to see this warranted passion addressed towards Trump.

Trump was president on January 6th, 2020. So, is he now in late-stage dementia – or does he think his followers are exactly this stupid?

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
