Yeah, I've been wondering for a while, now, how we should go about a mass deprogramming. Psychology has come a long way since the last Civil War, but I think we're going to need to get the media back into The People's hands before we can do anything else

I feel like we need some sort of "scared straight" immersion program that forces these kids to live on minimum wage or something.

The reason that they encourage us to use "official channels" is that they control those channels, and they know that they won't work.

I still say the greatest contribution to the entire planet of Earth that Anonymous could ever make would be taking Fox News off of the air.

He didn't say anything at all; he let Trump say it for him. It's like comedic judo - let your opponents do all of the work.

A month ago, I said we were living in "For What it's Worth" (Buffalo Springfield) and heading straight for "Ohio" (CSNY). From there, it's a short hop to "Strange Fruit" (Billie Holiday). Here we are. Gods, I hate this timeline.

Fun fact: Evangelism was created because it allowed Baptist slave owners to fulfill their Christian mandate of teaching everyone about Jesus without that nasty little section about how converted Christians are spiritually free.

I feel like the Internet has reached that point like at the end of "Minority Report" where (spoiler alert), they're just like, "Maybe this whole thing was a bad idea to begin with," and just pull the plug.

Disney should institute a vaccine mandate for all of its workers and guests just to spite Ronny DeathSantis. I mean, they kinda should, anyway, but this is at least a solid reason. #DefundRedStates

Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda: "The worst part is that the government is still in possession right now of documents & information that could help me remember and get over all of this maybe, and help me heal. They have documents w/ my name on them that were confiscated from Jeffrey Epstein's house"

Hopefully, 2026 will be the death of both parties & traditional politics in general. The whole system needs to be stripped down & rebuilt from the ground up. I'm so happy to see all of these socialist candidates making gains. As long as history is repeating itself, we may as well get a 2033 New Deal

It would be nice if I wasn't reading this while eating as fast as possible on my 15-minute break, as oblivious customers wish us Happy Labor Day, because capitalism won't let my store close even today. I appreciate the gains that were made, but it would be nice if progress didn't stop 100 years ago.
