I'm Russ Vought's worst nightmare: a bisexual, atheist, childless, feminist, who organized 3 abortion marches-
& can never be CONVERTED.
AOC is Stephen Miller's worst nightmare: a powerful Latina, who speaks truth, & has influence
& can never be DEPORTED.
Be sand in their gears. BE UNGOVERNABLE.
Good morning to all the non-billionaires in the world.
I just can't imagine being so unhappy with the first 10 homes I own, that I have to sell out my country & dismantle her democracy because I want someone to give me a free pass to buy 10 more. π₯²
Let's work to be happier than the billionaires.

The Student List won 53% of the vote. 140 of 250 seats.
Pollsters say 67% turnout was the highest since 1992! π§΅

Serbia, too, had a Strongman leader for over a decade.
Aleksandar VuΔiΔ was endorsed by Putin & his far-right party was autocratic & illiberal.

π₯³ After 2 wks of pro-democracy protests, π§π· Lula wins re-election against Flavio Bolsonaro: son of former President.
When Lula beat Pop in 2023, his supporters staged a coup by storming the Capitol. An idea borrowed from Jan 6th.
Pop was found guilty for an attempted coup & given 27 yrs in prison.
Brazil is making smarter decisions:
π§π· They convicted their ex-president of an attempted coup after he lost a presidential election.
π§π· They rejected his son after he tried to replace his father.
π§π· Lula is a Trump critic & member of the Worker's Party on his 4th non-consecutive term as president.

β οΈ In a small town in Georgia, all 5 officers on the police force resigned after the mayor put a tracking device on the Police Chief's car.

β οΈ An investigator left the Effingham County, Georgia sheriff's office in 2021. Nobody turned off his access to Flock.
Five years later, he used it 60 times to track his wife.
This mass surveillance system isn't only unconstitutional, it also has terribly slack security. Fuck Flock.

π₯ Trump has thrown everything he has at us. Insulted us, divided us, threatened us, targeted us, & yet he hasnβt even come close to breaking us.
He has revealed the worst in America, but in the process, has also awakened the best.
America will rise.

"A dozen orcs stormed the Palantir offices in Seattle this week to apply for jobs at the surveillance tech company. Palantir's militarized AI products attracted the horde of orcs, who hoped that their history of serving the Dark Lords would land them a gig.

Zelenskyy: βWhen our strikes reached Yandexβs data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on social media platforms. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. This proves Europe is not the source of all the problems. Is not making things more difficult. Russia is."
Call me an optimist, but my hope for the midterm is that Trump's lust for power did enough damage to MAGA that their selfish self-interest forces them to vote blue.
I'm certainly not banking on a change of heart or redemption.
Civil society passed them by a long time ago.

Only in America do teenage boys commit suicide by slaying innocent 5 yr olds first.
They could just shoot themselves.
They want to.
But their nihilistic psychopathy makes them seek suicide by violence.
The 'glory' of taking down defenseless children.

All humans want to control themselves. Strong people control themselves via self-mastery.
Weak people don't have self-mastery, so they attempt to control themselves by controlling others.
Autocrats aren't strong; they're dependent & weak. They need to subvert others' freedom to feel self-control.

Oh no! This paragraph in Autocracy, Inc. is prescient AF.
Anne Applebaum writes about the "Maduro model" of autocracy:
When an autocrat is perfectly willing to destabilize & rule over a failed state with economic collapse - if it means he can stay in power.
They will destroy to maintain control.

There are 2 storylines here:
- The one that paints a picture of despair.
- The one that paints a picture of action.
One says, "This is what's happening. There's nothing we can do about it."
The other, "This is what's happening. Unless we stop it."
Knowledge is power IF we create action from it.
Tonight, thousands are protesting ICE in NYC after they opened fire in a car with a 5-yr-old in the backseat.
ICE fired 7 times, but only hit Oscar Bergal once.
A protestor's sign reads: "Get the fuck out. All of them. The rogues & thugs. And the nice ones too." βπΌ
