There is so much to keep track of right now. This page is meant to document critical, buried, and distracted from news updates, current events, moments in living history, and subversive anti-democratic actions.

3 part video. Look, I know our attention spans are fleeting. I know our monkey brains love short, simple answers to jump on when complex problems unfold before US. We're in danger. All 342 million of us. Even if you're apathetic, I would encourage you all to watch these videos, Share, Talk Offline🇺🇲🗽
How do we feel the devastation from the billionaire class, leeching from our society over time? How do we measure it?

At 111 Viola Ford Fletcher. Last survivor of Tulsa's 1921 massacre has passed. White supremacists destroyed 'Black Wall Street, murdering hundreds in racist acts, with fascist flavoring. Greenwood endured. This reminds us hate rises & falls but resilience endures. Remember our history #TulsaMassacre

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

This is a video I think every American could benefit from hearing. A perspective on US politics from a German citizen, who previously lived here before fleeing due to concerns over our slide into fascism. Our political system is captured. We stand at a cross roads, under a new age of technology.

Friends, we should take some time to educate ourselves as much as we can about our police state surveillance infrastructure. From it's first systematic iteration the Patriot Act, to new additions like Palantir. Learn about how our government will try to oppress us. Use state legislation to resist.

Our government has been dismantled by republicans, to profit billionaires & pedophiles. Not news, just what it is.
We may be getting the Epstein Files in December, but they’re still hiding the Jobs Report, the Inflation Report, and the GDP Report.

Chaos & lawlessness in #Illinois, as #ICEAgents terrorizes communities with conduct consistent with #BreakingStateLaws. Use State legal systems against them. Prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law! The only people making our streets less safe are from our federal government.

Let's talk about #ModernSlavery. Let's talk about our #RightWingProblem. The people who are trying to gaslight & manipulate society into reviving this stain on our collective humanity.

The people that are attracted to work for ICE are not quality or respectable people. The people attracted to this nightmare have violent mental health problems.

These conditions are unacceptable. They ushered their kidnap victims away from oversight, the same way North Korea hides it's citizens from reporters. Jesus, how much further into #EthnicCleansing will we allow ourselves to degrade into?
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Indiana Mega Church CS #Scandal.
Jonathan Peternel (24) #SonOfLifeChurch lead pastor Nathan Peternel, arrested Oct 23 on 7 felony counts for child exploitation & possessing 200+ child sex abuse files. Church tied to #Republican Lt. Gov #MicahBeck. Beckwith's office already under deepfake porn probe.

This should never happen in our country. This is our home. The fact that this was a situation that someone had to go through in the first place.. These kinds of things are optional, they don't ever need to happen. They only happen when society allows it. Reject Cruelty, Reject Fascism.

Who is Antifa? Let's talk about Anti-Fascism. Let's talk about history. Let's talk about reality. Let's Talk About The Liars. Let's Talk About The Manipulators. Let's talk about the five masks of fascism:
1. The Statist-loyalty
2. Miltarism
3. The Theocrat
4. The Corporatist
5. Ethno-Nationalist

Things are going to get worse, before they get better. We watched our democracy slow-burn into to ground. Our #RepublicanParty #SoldUsOut. Our #AgingDemocraticLeadership doesn't know how to meet this moment. #ConnectWithYourCommunity, because when all else fails. #AllWeHaveIsEachOther. 🇺🇲🗽🐸

Friends. As as we head into the future, We have to be more civically responsible than any of our predecessors. There has been no other point in a human history that faces the tech challenges that we do. Unfortunately, whether we want to or not, we have to take time to be aware of what we are facing.

Our supreme court has been hijacked by Christian nationalists & racist assholes. We need to impeach members who would enable ethnic cleaning & the dismemberment of our multi-cultural democracy.

Let’s work feverishly together on getting rid of Trump. The momentum is with American people now. Enough of this shit!!

The lies, corruption and incompetence are all around us and never ending. 😔

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Arrest ICE agents. Trap them inside state legal systems. #QualifiedImmunity has stipulations & limits. It's long past the time for our democratic institutions to start resisting in more meaningful ways.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

A collection of video's from streets & homes across our nation. Coming under siege, from a #Tyrannical & out of control federal government.

The debate around #Socialism in the United States, is & always has been intellectually dishonest. The billionaire class has invested countless money over generations to poison the concept of what socialism is so much, that we don't even recognize our system is rooted in socialism, but for the rich.
