    Take the blackouts seriously, because the next escalation is the south shore of the Rubicon

    If this happened in any other country … it would be a coup

    Since it happened in the US … media get to use their imagination to describe it any other way than the truth.

        You have been CIA’d … this is what all those South American countries felt in the 70s and 80s … this is what Iran and the Middle East felt like in 1950s … this is what Indonesia felt like in 1960s … this is what Africa has always felt

        That feeling of being totally hopeless, helpless and being held at the whims of powerful wealthy overlords that could destroy your life, your community and your country at any moment? … the CIA has made most of the world feel like that for about a hundred years and now they’re doing it to their own people.

    It’s not just Trump and Musk. Remember, there are two supposedly co-equal branches of government that could step in here.

    The entire Republican party is complicit in this.

      The entire Republican party is complicit in this.

      Partly through threats and leverage and fear. The previous term purged most of the GOP who weren’t cowards.

    Hey Americans, take to the streets or you’re signaling implicit approval.

    Canada and the rest of the world is watching.
