“The supposed leader of the democratic world order has decided that's no longer the game to play.

The quest for [Artificial General Intelligence] is oiling the wheels for this to happen faster and faster.”

US Empire props up Big Tech autocracies and vice versa.

There is nothing wrong with a righteous rant, rant on.

I hope we will all use this and other similar outrageous fascist actions to drive massive participation in the June 14th #NoKings protests.

If you have any doubt of the import of massive protests, please listen to Chris Hayes's 05/06 podcast with Erica Chenoweth one of the authors of the 3.5% rule.

She is clear, massive protests are critical to #ProtectOurFreedoms and #DefendDemocracy.

Go to nokings.org/ to sign up for a protest near you.

If you are in striking distance of Philadelphia and can go to the protest rally there, please do. There will be busses to Philly from many places to facilitate.

Let's fill Ben Franklin Parkway with true American patriots. Come to Philly to #ProtectOurFreedoms and #DefendDemocracy.

No KingsNo KingsOn June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Congratulations to Allison Riggs, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina! This hard won victory is thanks to the voters of North Carolina (especially those from abroad) who kept fighting to make sure their votes were heard, counted, and not tossed out. A big win for small-d democracy. Finally, the 2024 election season is behind us. democratsabroad.org/congratula

„This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.“
