When you realize that our society, economy, nation, civilization, and species are currently unsustainable and are in a death spiral unless fundamental, systemic change happens in the next few years, politics looks very different—it’s literally our global survival that’s at stake.

Albanians are showing people around the world how to take our power back:
“Albania is not for sale. Albania belongs to the Albanian people and we decide what we want to do here. It’s not up to corrupt politicians to decide what they can do with our land.”
Albanians are fighting harder against their land being stolen to build Epstein Island 2 than Americans ever fought against our CEOs, politicians, and presidents being in the Epstein files and raping children.
What Albanians are doing is extraordinary. Time for us to do the same!

Trumpian crony capitalism and authoritarianism seek to make the majority of people too poor, sick, exhausted, polarized, distracted, and hopeless that we don’t organize and mobilize to oust the oligarchs (but not so completely desperate that we revolt), while they rob us blind.

Most Americans don’t understand power. They believe norms, institutions, laws, and the Constitution will preserve our democracy. They won’t unless backed by real power: governmental power, and/or corporate power, and/or the power of the people.
Voting alone will not stop Trump.

If we had only let Trump assume power once, we might have been forgiven.
But we let Trump assume power twice—knowing full well who he is and what he’s capable of—so the civilized world will never trust us again, and they shouldn’t.
It’s not just Trump—it’s us.
America is over.

Here is what most people don’t understand: Trump can’t let himself be removed from office.
Trump can’t risk losing power, because he can’t risk going to prison.
Trump will do *anything* to avoid going to prison and I do mean *anything*.

The window of opportunity is limited and shrinking for the working class to secure Universal Basic Income and Universal Basic Services, because AI and robotics all too soon will make most people structurally unemployable. #GeneralStrike before it’s too late.

You can't play "fair" in a rigged game. You have to rewrite the rules and play to win, especially if it's for democracy, freedom, and voting rights.
Republicans make up shit all the time to implement minority rule.
Be like James Kirk, Dems, and beat the unbeatable Kobiyashu Maru.

My gut feeling about the current state of the United States:

Billions of people are going to be structurally unemployable by the end of the decade.
Without Universal Basic Income and Universal Basic Services those billions of structurally unemployable people will suffer, starve, and then die.
Yes, that’s what we are facing all too soon.

“Too big to rig” is more Normalcy Bias blindness and bullshit.
We are past the point that elections can oust the fascists.
#GeneralStrike now.

It’s just mind-boggling to me how the belief that we still have a functioning democracy is ultimately what will lead to the complete death of our democracy.
Normalcy Bias will be our undoing every damn time.

It seems like the leadership of the Democratic Party has no plan for what to do when Trump either cancels the November election or overturns the results after the fact.

What will it take for Americans to understand—and act on—the fact that Trump and his fascist regime plan to never give up power?

There is no going back for America or the world: either we overthrow the fascists and oligarchs now or billions of us will die in the next ten years.

I’m 63 years old. I had Led Zeppelin albums as a kid, and man, do I love this new version of “Ramble On” by the amazing Robert Plant:
"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

If Trump nukes Iran, the civilization that will die tonight is our own.

Don’t forget: Trump is a malignant narcissist, a sadist, and a sociopath—he wants to see the world burn and he wants to be the person to do it.
