New: NATO has taken over air defenses in Poland from the US just days before Trump’s inauguration, as questions loom about the incoming administration’s approach to the alliance and to Ukraine. The move is aimed at safeguarding Polish logistics nodes.

The time to fight was right out of the gate in 2020 when the Biden admin gained control. Merrick Garland (among others) FAFO'd us. To my thinking, many people blundered and acted like all was normal again. It wasn't. We may be beyond repair. What country will fall to far-Right extremism next?

Literally, the same propaganda machine that ushered MAGAism into the US has been working on Canada too. Canada isn't the only other country being meddled with either, look at what's happening to democracies across Europe.

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless

People! It's not going to be just four years! They don't plan on ever giving up power. The sooner your brains absorb this reality, the sooner we might be able to course correct. It's not going to be pretty.
People really need to banish thoughts of “maybe it won’t be so bad!” from their minds. At least for now. Strategically, this must be a time of preparation, not wishful thinking.

The Biden admin came out of the gates acting like it was all just another normal election cycle & playing by rules that were no longer honored by the Right/Red side of the aisle. Garland & DOJ failed us. Biden failed us because he did nothing to protect us from what's happening now.😓
Isn’t it funny how the U.S. media is suddenly posting stories about the improving inflation picture now that the election is over? 🧐
