President Biden’s farewell address: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people … Today, an oligarchy is taking shape.” @atrupar (2025)
"We don't take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator ...we take an oath to the Constitution ... and we're willing to die to protect it".
- Mark Milley (2023)

The video is sped up.
I’m 82 in October. This country will not dig itself out of this hell in my lifetime
Nor will democracy get back to where it was before this regime hijacked us.
I will have a clean heart I did everything in my power to save it. I hope you will say the same
Too often, DSA and Bernie Sanders frame inequality as primarily economic. For many Black Americans, race and racism are inseparable from that conversation. We also notice how often the focus shifts to the “white working class,” while our experiences are treated as secondary.
Basil Smikle:
“Bernie Sanders came and ran against the Democratic Party in 2016 and 2020. So, if you’re a voter 20, 30, 40 years old, half of your life you’ve really not seen the Democratic Party as the path for political and economic empowerment…”

ALL of these people have seen the tapes Epstein made of children being r*ped and tortured. He had cameras in every room. That’s how he rose to power.
How damage do you have to be as a human to see that to witness that and continue to protect the perpetrator?
