One would think they'd have to opt "IN".... That's kind of the point of copyrights....

No Mr Kimmel, we live in a country where government & corporate America do not believe in free speech & only yield to it when the pressure is high enough. Regular folks are getting fired every day for exercising their supposed right to dissent. This was a win for you specifically & no one else.

Churches willingly or unwillingly falling in line with fascism should tell one everything about the supposed existence of an all knowing, all powerful creator with an objective morality.

Americans believe if they just capitulate enough to power & greed, things will work out.... That some magical recognition of humanity exists... FOR THEM. That's just not how sociopathic tyranny works. Humanity exists for all or we're all just waiting to have our heads on the chopping block.

Dialog is a threat to pushing narratives....

Saying someone is a "man of faith" means nothing. "faith" is not intrinsically good, noble or laudable. A man of faith attempted to free slaves at Harper's Ferry. Also Men of faith flew planes into buildings. "Faith" is the term we use to claim someone had some good in them without defining it.

Bot/troll accounts. Very little about the division in America is organic. It is almost all manufactured. There are very simple explanations for why America is collapsing into facism. Establishment left & right, corp media & politicians avoid it, but it has nothing to do with social division.

The full court press of forcing a narrative over critical thought is on.

A microcosm of what government is today. The problem is his voters are so indoctrinated with the terror of an imagined alternative, they'll re-elect him.

US government is like a superior /subordinate relationship. Abusive AF, but we are still conditioned that way as opposed to the governed actually having control. That system works only when the governed have reason to trust those governing.

Whether God exist is a great secret. Recent events show why I've walked away from organized religion.... It is one thing to morn a murder because one grasps the inhumanity of it. It is quite another to hold evil people up as "Christians" & good people. Organized religion strips us of humanity.

Poor people, harrassing immigrants & racial castes are there to convince workers they're not workers.

HERE IS TRUE HONESTY. Not like MSNBC today and tonight.

To be clear, I don't think Swift is the problem. I like her. It does, however, demonstrate how wealth moves. Wealth on the left or those that care are not allowed to engage in structural change. They perform random acts of kindness to demonstrate THEY are not terrible people.

You will never get structural change from those who are benefactors of an unjust system. Slavery & Civil Rights are the purest examples of that.

The dissapointing thing for me is there are people out there who are just now thinking, "Maybe corporate news is corrupt...."

The notion that churches speak for God should tell everyone there isn't one.

America not only didn't de-confederalize after the Civil War, it RE-confederalized the South after the election of 1876. Wealth inequity requires social/legal inequity & the blaming of those who have less for their condition.

The world as Americans destroy themselves over manufactured differences....

Systems based on inequity & the dominance of a tiny elite over the masses will always need force to keep them together. The greater the inequity, the more this is the case. These systems ultimately collapse under their own weight, buy it's not a given they are replaced by something more equitible.

While there are small exceptions, mainstream religion & forced faith are weapons for maintaining tribal order. They are anti-intelectual in attempts to push top down assertions that cannot be questioned, no matter how rediculous. To the "believer", every religion is absurd.... Except theirs.

“This isn’t just about Epic, nor about one lazy piece of journalism. It is about the larger shift we are living through—a world where corporate analytics firms present themselves as the new scientific authorities, producing not just the data but the story of what the data mean.”

The NFL literally could start with itself....

Democrats know what they need to do to take power & effectively serve the voter for generations. They're just not going to do it. Thinking millionaires selected by billionaires are going to help you is the most gullible aspect of the American voter.

It's pretty simple. This is normalizing the Federal gov using the military on the people against the sovereignty of states. There was a time Republicans railed against this.

Capitalism & communism look the same when ruled by a totalitarian elite. They both become fascism just by different names.

Mississippi is not age gating access to information & interaction on aps & websites to "protect" children. If that were true, they'd age gate access to Mississippi churches & politicians.

Slavery. Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes. IT WAS BAD, YOU DUMB FUCKS.

When 5-10% own 75% of everything, it becomes imperative that the notion of "We The People...." is erased. There's far too many on the left selling the idea this is just about Trump & MAGA.

This is the sensationalized, half truth nonesense that passes for "news". No, they did not lose $94 million. Their stock dropped in value $94 million. That is not a loss until sold & even then, that drop is across all shareholders. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

"I'm not fooled by this fake charade of Collins' deliberations and moderation. The difference between Susan Collins and Ted Cruz is at least Ted Cruz is honest about selling us out and not giving a damn," said Platner. www.rawstory.com/susan-collin...

Agree

Yes, the 5-10% who own 70% absolutely do not want the half of America struggling to get by on 1% to have a voice. They clearly understand the threat to them that is.

The truth is Dems USED to talk like this which is why they consistently held the house, senate or both from the 1930s to 1992-96. That stopped when Dems embraced corporate am & they've never recovered as a dominant party.

The elected stay away from this subject like a plague.

This has been going on for a bit. Panera Bread, like so many other large businesses in America, is owned by private equity. PE are not bakers, restaurantuers or auto makers. They're bankers who bought something & want double digit return. They don't care how. www.newsweek.com/panera-bread...

This is what massive wealth disparity gets you. "Education" that teaches you it's good to be an uneducated serf.

What is the purpose of an all knowing all powerful God "testing" those he created & has absolute authority over existence.... or.... Is it more like it's bs made up by those who wish to control you. "Don't listen to me. It's this all powerful thing out there making the rules...."

The hero worship of politicians..... This is as bad as Trump as a boxer.... 🤦🏽

What else ya got Bernie?.... Dems should be well into the tactics of restoring democracy & cut programs. No one in their right mind believes this has a prayer. They had 4 years after a failed GOP insurrection & look where we are now. The airborne subway was a more meaningful act than this.

Lol.... There is no "panic ripping". Wealth has survived & prospered during every single crash in America. Every... Single... One... Coffee exec is irrelevant. www.rawstory.com/trump-coffee/

Extreme gullability is thinking America can engage in all this & change because of an election. That is the WHOLE point of selling us the notion this is happening because Trump & his racist idealogues were "elected"....

The Constitution only works when those who control government recognize it as binding. Currently, we are no where near a constitutional Republic. It's like quoting German law with respect to Hitler in 1939.

... And I blame every so called progressive politician that was in power the last 4 years. The Merrick Garlands, the Schumers, Biden, house leadership.... All who KNEW this was coming & at BEST, did nothing. At worst, like Garland, facilitated, blocked & tackled for it.

Words are nice, but the measure of the establishment left at this point in America is not what they say, but what they do. Any place there's REAL dissent, Dem leadership is there to temper it. Words not followed up with action mean nothing.

They engaged in insurrection & killed US military in combat. Supporting racism has always been a key tool for the right in America.... It always surprises me that saying no to racism is just too big a hill to climb for some people. Or maybe it doesn't. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

www.msn.com/en-us/news/p... Power wants order among those they control & chaos among they don't. True wild card or not? That's the so called frustration with Crockett. Her "dissent" as not relegated to preserving the false narrative there's actually two distinct political visions for America.
