Dumped “X.” Joining voices that speak truth to power and loathe Trump & his fascist regime.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery.
Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned.
We are far past left vs right.
Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Just a hunch. Wouldn’t it be odd if there were massive power outages in blue cities in swing states early November? And they’ll blame Iran. I wouldn’t put it past this administration.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

Just like Israel’s Zionism, right?
White Christo fascism is not Christianity. It is a perversion of Christianity - The reality is that it is straight up fascism - a extreme political philosophy - which is operating in direct opposition to American democracy.

Before any more bank bailouts, tax handouts to the rich, we should demand a debt jubilee. Our dollar is collapsing & we deserve to have our debts wiped-out for once! Mortgage loans, student loans, medical debt…. clear it all out! Then we could afford to prop up the economy!

We’re free to warn now, but not for long. After the midterms, be need to be ready. If that means cutting down surveillance tech (i.e. Flock cameras, Data Centers, the 5 oligarchs), it’s up to us. Revolution can be creative. It might be necessary & up to us. History has taught us how to proceed.

As Christian Nationalist try to assert morality, poverty is the clear & obvious path to immorality. I lived in a “3rd world country,” and corruption, poverty, & lawlessness are the exact markers for a society in survival mode which leads to moral decay. Morality is reserved for wealthy nations.

While the USA terrorizes foreign lands, it creates more “terrorists.”
While the USA crushes its own people, it creates more Luigi’s.
Gen Z is ready to explode & they will be the ones to act on it.

When I see a bazillion warehouse spaces being built on every stitch of available land, and gobs of data centers in Central Texas, I see future squatter homes. It’s going to fail…. bigly.

You know, I barely use any of these AI “tools” available to me for free. Can’t imagine EVER paying for them either. So, is putting the brakes on AI about near future societal destruction of the workforce, consumer capitalism, etc., or is it because tech bros aren’t making any profit from it?

While America chased for cheap labor in foreign counties for corporate profit, it’s stopped manufacturing US goods. They bankrupted Detroit steel, an American icon for the automobile. Now our own farmers & food sources! Corporate greed has sold-off all our assets. We don’t make anything anymore!

We can’t print our way out of the failing petro dollar. Our GDP is solely based on stocks & debt. Financial wizardry, debt privilege & the ruse of the “market” is done & we have no out. Taking away the “gold standard” diluted the trust. Fort Knox is empty! Offshored manufacturing. We have nothing.

It is my prediction that Trump will stop at nothing to stay in power. His recent “Declaration” smells to me like a set-up for a false flag operation. If swing state power grids fail mid-October to mid-November, don’t be surprised. Be prepared. He’ll blame Iran, but we’re not that stupid, are we?!

Here’s a thought. We can’t work without that damn W-2 form, right? That W-2 is our commitment to pay taxes. We are now taxed without representation in Trump’s authoritarian USA. How about we all claim we are “exempt” on that W4 form? Underfunded IRS be damned! Collect “my share” from Elon Musk!

I lived in a “3rd world country” for 2yrs. Highjacked power lines, rolling blackouts, bad meat, poison water, etc. When the US petro dollar collapses in the near future/fiat dollars everywhere, I know what the USA will become. I’m prepared for it from my experience but most Americans are in denial.

When Trump rages about proposed voter fraud, it’s always a confession.
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Who suspects the Gary, IN blackout was a test? The ICE raids in MN was a test? The National Emergency declaration regarding power infrastructure a warning?
I honestly wouldn’t put it past Trump to shut the US down right before the midterms. I’m prepping.

🤔 The Supreme Court had one job and one job only = PROTECT DEMOCRACY by preserving our Constitution through interpreting it justly, but they chose instead to protect only one political party and in doing so made one man a King and destroyed our entire country!

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word.
Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality.
Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too.
Two giants who helped change America.
Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾
