It's starting!!! The downfall of democracy, we had a good run!
we had a good run!
I'd rank it as 'just OK' compared to how the rest of the western developed world is doing and how many resources and advantages we had from the start. We can do much better next time. I think in the upcoming defederation we are not only going to let the south secede, we will insist on it. Godspeed to texas, florida, and the south.
They are all a bunch of Racists. The existence of brown people is simply too much for them
Distraction or not, Trump is a coward who thinks deploying soldiers at a protest will make him look tough. It doesn't. It makes him look scared and pathetic.
It's because he is. Him and most of his cronies are at a point where if they do not maintain power until they die, they may face extreme consequences.
The good thing is I guess they know that. The bad thing is, when it's that or maintain power, what lengths will they go to?

I mean ACAB so this isn't new, but still holy authoritarianism batman.
Newsom said in a statement responding to Huerta’s arrest, describing the union president as a “respected leader, a patriot and an advocate for working people.”
I'd like that sentiment to carry over to, you know, actual policy, but I guess he's not folding like a lawn chair yet.
Well that'd a terrble idea that will result in many deaths just like all the other times
Wtf? Why is this the first I'm hearing of this?!?
I was looking at porn while hundreds of other people stood up to the face of fascism.
