Happy Autumn. Franklin Booth "Autumn Leaves" Collier`s Nov. 25, 1911

What's changed? The same insight but it feels very different.

If you don't count it or measure, it doesn't exist, apparently.

If things continue on, most people won't have any $ to spend. So either way this will not work out well for us or the corporations.

Too far.

They are choosing profits and self interest over freedom for everyone.

John Stewart's bit was just one joke about what the future might look like. The real gold was the interview with Maria Ressa, who pointed out the choice is Armageddon, which is the battle and Apocalypse, which means it's over. Which one will you choose? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsb1...

"Don't you dare call us fascists!!!" they say, as they force people critical of them off tv, while vowing to crush and criminalize all opposition for their views.

Last night @chrislhayes.bsky.social said on his MSNBC show that what Kimmel said was wrong. Uh, which part? Another reason to not watch MSNBC. Hayes is not helping.

Now ideas are illegal. Anyone can now be called a terrorist for disagreeing with the regime.

That is almost the entire population of the US.

We are all antifa now. "Trump’s designation of the amorphous group antifa, which has no formal organization or structure, as a terrorist organization permits the state to charge us all as terrorists." Chris Hedges open.substack.com/pub/chrished...

Time for them to give back. Rachel Maddow, John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver: time to put their money where their mouth is. The time is now. We will support them. Meidas Network, writers and podcasters are out there showing the way. There are possibilities.

Yet even the very wealthy oligarchs are bowing to the dictators. The grift is now a part of doing business in or with the "US" aka the Trump regime. The silencing is just part of the tribute they demand.

They didn't just look the other way. They profited, benefitted, and participated in it.

For many of us it started with looking at our parents' lives and choices. It is a key step in differentiating yourself and should cause you to question everything and everyone in your search for the truth. A process that never ends.

Who exactly is this "radical far left" they keep referring to? There is no equivalent to the Tea Party or MAGA. The left, whether it be liberal Dems or more progressive voices is hardly unified nor are they advocating violence.

It makes me wonder about the world we live in that would treat people this way.

Yes they understand. That is why they are doing it. They are breaking the entire system all at once which will lead to many people dying and becoming homeless. It is by design.
