There’s a danger to thinking you know something you’ve never truly studied. We see this trend prevalently exploited in modern politics everywhere. Excerpt on “The Power of the Charlatan” from The 48 Laws of Power

Repeated studies about a Basic Income show how beneficial it is to individuals, recipients families, and wider society. Every country should offer a Basic Income. @basicincomeaction.org

MLK was assassinated as he was gearing up the March For The Poor that would've united white working class folk and Black folk (among others).

Board of Peace intro

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

This is, quite literally, our collective duty.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

I'm sorry, America, but there is no coming back from this no matter the time, just like Hitler will always be associated with Germany !!! Americans, you own this 🖕

Every Democratic member of Congress should be on a plane to Minneapolis right now to join the people protesting in the streets. Federal elected officials should physically place themselves between the public and these dangerous thugs sent to terrorize this American city.

This is ok tho

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

It's a nightmare that the first question people have to ask is: did they kill or kidnap her too?

ICE / DHS employees: I know there’s way more alarm internally than is public. Text me via signal at 202-510-1268. I’ll protect your anonymity

It is almost as though many of those people who spent the better part of three decades going on about "jack booted thugs," liberty, and "good guys with guns" weren't being entirely honest with everyone.

The weirdest part of all this is that I don't recollect armed thugs executing people in the streets a year ago.

Well damn if the NRA didn't just change their slogan to, "Why would anyone need to carry around a gun?"

Looks like someone reported my whistle on thingiverse and god knows they have a near non functional moderation team, so offering the stl here as a direct download in case it never gets reviewed. limewire.com/d/BfJER#9Lmb...

"if elected, I vow to do everything I can to make conditions so that ordinary Americans can live their best damn lives, without the interference of a handful of deranged billionaires and sundowning narcissists." like I said, it's for the best. but I too have fantasies

🧵While ICE is nabbing innocent 4-year-olds, DHS allowed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in US history to self-deport to South America in December. Prosecutors were planning to try the case and send him to prison, but DHS gave him a free flight out instead.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California. This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

No spine, no vote. Make it a mantra.

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires call for higher taxes on super-rich. They know that a hostile environment is not conducive to accumulation. They can increase real wages for workers. Govt can tax super-rich at higher rates, impose wealth tax and redistribute.

All those who wrongly believe that nature collapse might be 'sad', but won't really affect them in any way, badly need to wake up. Nature isn't just 'nice to have'. Planet Earth is only liveable – for *us* too – due to the regulating effects of natural ecosystems. share.google/NoVLRatfUoH5...
