We’ve been seeing Trump hanging out with his granddaughter a lot lately. Knowing what we know about Trump and Epstein, on top of his own creepy comments through the years about his own daughter and his propensity to objectify females, would you trust your teenage daughter to be alone with Grandpa Trump?

    I love how we have sex criminals at every level and branch of government, but somehow people still think a bumper sticker and marches are going to turn things around…

    We need serious civil disobedience but everyone is more afraid of losing what little crumbs they have.

      losing what little crumbs they have

      That’s absolutely by design. We’re no better than crows. As long as we have shiny things to distract us, we won’t bother looking up to even admit what they’re doing or to hold them accountable.

      Maybe I’ll go protest after I finish browsing on Tiktok…

      Since the Civil Rights Movement, The Establishment has changed things expressly to make it so the same tactics would not work again. And expressly so a scandal like Watergate would not force a resignation as well.

      Those tactics would be a good compliment but alone will not carry the day. We need organization, and leadership.

      I would say innumerable groups Federated on a forum to cooperate on what they agree on. Where people can work in separate private groups as they see fit, and we could find and groom our own political leaders and help them get into office, and indeed business. The Federated bit is key to prevent the entire thing from being subverted or crushed.

      We need some popular and strong leadership, with popular allies all across the country tailored to their districts but cooperating on the main facets like working people not being screwed by the rich without consent, and freedom from government oppression and mass surveillance and the like.

        I think we are way past incremental change. Climate scientist around the world are either saying we are past the point of no return or getting close to it. Isreal is close to implementing their final solution for the Palestinian people. The US Supreme Court just overturned the 4th amendment. The 13th, 14th, 15th, and and 19th amendments are openly on the chopping block. We are past needing small steps in the right direction.

          Organizing to seize control of a political party and sweep elections and restore the Republic is anything but incremental change.
