I keep hearing/reading tax the rich, but I wonder what good it would do when the rich pretty much own the politicians in government. That money will just get refunded or "invested" back to them somehow, and not used for the citizen's benefit. How about "seize their assets" or "nationalize their holdings"? We can workshop those though. I'm probably on some security database or watch list as of now though aren't I? 😬

Following his decisive victory in North Carolina’s gubernatorial race, Democrat Josh Stein’s win was immediately met with a calculated power grab by the Republican-led legislature. Just two weeks post-election, lawmakers introduced a sweeping 131-page bill stripping control over the highway patrol, utilities, and most critically, appointments to the election board responsible for voting rules. This move consolidates GOP influence over elections, schools, environment, and other state agencies, marking one of the most expansive power shifts in recent U.S. history. While the federal government under Trump sought a “unitary executive,” North Carolina’s legislature is wielding its power to undermine the elected governor’s authority—highlighting a sharp partisan and structural divide in American governance. Can democratic norms withstand such aggressive state-level power plays?

NSW’s new anti-protest laws weaponise terror fears to crush dissent. Targeting Palestine solidarity and broader activism, Minns threatens democracy itself.

Unreal — the U.S. Coast Guard tried to reclassify swastikas and nooses as “potentially divisive symbols.” Public backlash forced a reversal, but the fact it was even considered is terrifying. Who is pushing this normalization of hate? #DemocracyUnderAttack www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Then swear her in, Mike. Johnson's denial on Grijalva's blocked swearing-in feels like a smokescreen! This isn't about ethics; it's a clear power play to silence a Democrat. The obstruction is undeniable. What are they *really* protecting? #DemocracyUnderAttack #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Whoever wants to introduce #fascism into a democracy that has grown over centuries must first break the constitution. Because there’s no other way to replace democracy with fascism except through lies, fear, and violence. decisiveQuestion Will the people go along with it? #DemocracyUnderAttack 🖖
Wer den #Faschismus in einer seit Jahrhunderten gewachsenen #Demokratie einführen will, muss die Verfassung brechen. Denn anders kann man eine Demokratie nicht durch Faschismus ersetzen … außer durch Lüge, Angst und Gewalt. Die entscheidende Frage ist: Macht das Volk mit? #DemocracyUnderAttack 🖖
“Trump isn’t protecting Americans—he’s weaponizing our cities. Militarized streets, political drills, and generals as props. This is authoritarian theater, not public safety. #TrumpWatch #CivilMilitaryCrisis #DemocracyUnderAttack Illinois “ @govpritzker.illinois.gov
Trump flirting with canceling elections? Democrats call it a “Hitler playbook” move—creating chaos, threatening democracy, testing limits. Legally blocked, but the danger is real. #DemocracyUnderAttack #ElectionIntegrity www.cnn.com/2025/09/02/p...
😡 It’s outrageous—the DOJ now bows to Trump’s whims, weaponizing justice to go after Obama-era officials with zero evidence. Mueller found no collusion AND didn’t exonerate him—yet here we are! This is authoritarian crap.

Attorney General Bondi orders ...
Have you ever noticed that Democrats are often blamed for everything, even actions taken by Republicans?
This phenomenon can be explained by what is known as Murc’s Law.
It reflects the dangerous belief that only Democrats have political agency, as if Republicans are merely reacting to Democratic actions like toddlers lacking self-control.
Under Murc’s Law, every decision made by the GOP is attributed to the Democrats. People say things like, “They provoked it,” “They didn’t stop it,” and “They failed to compromise.”
Meanwhile, Republicans escape scrutiny and remain unquestioned, uncriticized, and unaccountable.
Murc’s Law serves to normalize authoritarian behavior while placing the blame on those who are trying to uphold democratic principles.
Do not fall for it; call it out when you see it.

The outcome of the last election was not just a disappointment; it represented a rejection of democratic principles and a dangerous step towards authoritarianism. Those who voted to undermine our democracy did so at the expense of us all. We must remain vigilant. #democracyunderattack #election #authoritarianism
For 105 years, the League of Women Voters of the United States is a nonpartisan, activist, grassroots organization that believes voters should play a critical role in democracy. Nonpartisan doesn’t mean silent. On June 12, 2025, the League issued the following statement: "League of Women Voters Condemns the Violent Removal of Senator Alex Padilla from a DHS Press Conference.” https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/league-women-voters-condemns-violent-removal-senator-alex-padilla-dhs-press
Likewise, as @lwv_wa posted June 12, 2025, "We will not sit on the sidelines. We will speak out when we see wrong. We will speak up to make things right.”

“For a long time, as investors threw money at robotaxis and never-realized Hyperloops, the joke was that the San Francisco Bay Area’s best & brightest were hard at work trying to reinvent the bus. But it turns out if you get enough VCs in a Signal chat together, you’ll eventually reinvent feudalism, too.” 😕
