I needed this today

Protecting children from sexual abuse is a unifying issue

The victory in MPLS was a whole lot more than nothing, but let’s acknowledge the cruelty didn’t stop.

Bury the elites, all of them. Now.

With votes and dollars, Euros, yuan and non- purchasings, of course.

Can't raise arms against a heavily weaponized noxious "democracy" or "people's republic."

Interesting, how similar they have become, no?

Just imagine, if all that treasure spent on arms and yachts and hotel investments and legal fees against charges of pedophilia for the corrupt actually might be used by the everyday people, law abiding people, who earn everyday wages and pay everyday taxes?!? That's talking fantasy island, sure.

Oh happy day! May we the people keep up our resolve so there will so many more to come!

This wonderfully-written column puts forth the radical notion that it's not partisanship which fuels revolutionary change; but goodness and common decency. This brilliant and bracing piece also has me believing my recent bouts of optimism are not ill-founded.

They aren't. Good and decent people just arrested a royal. It's our turn to take out the trash. ✊

Would love to believe so, but--Mao was right. Power ultimately only comes from the barrel of a gun. Which is exactly why the pricks are fully deploying it.

Of course, I will be AI monitored by US "intelligence" agencies as of now.

Amazing hope-filled article. People who care for people are coming out in droves and changing the entire narrative and the results. Finally the powers that be are taking note, while the masses are bagging their well earned evil scalps.

Ro/Massie for 2028. The Anti Corruption Party. Don't @ me.

Jeffrey Peoples's avatar

How about Massie/Ro ?

Completely fine by me. We can't get back to discussing politics, no matter how egregious one might find the other sides until the corruption and PACs and NGO loopholes etc etc are rooted out. They all caused us to all hate each other instead of looking out for our neighbors. Both sides all in and all the way and unequivocally

Some of them should be cuffed.

These are the 2 men to do it. I'd give them 8 years, no foreign interest money, complete moratorium from day 1 in office. Term 2, day 1 no more domestic PACs. The most electable ticket that folks will start organizing for TODAY. Momentum so large election rigging would be insane for fear of how long they'd spend in jail for it. South Korea could come in and run the trials. Shake hands neighbors. But then roll up your sleeves.

I @ myself. Ro/Massie is the far and away) most politically AND statistically viable political ticket VS a Vance/Satan '28 fascism's bow-on-top finality.

Americans all across the spectrum need to grab their flanks. The outliers, the inliers close by them and push this.

We have the power now thanks to the billionaires to exploit the system they enslaved us under. We can now pay and support our favorite news people directly. If you can't Patreon, you sub, if you can't comment something intelligent and human written without AIs help, you share it, with your fam and friends. Ken is reclipped at every news site now and he's giving you free invites to his shit. Just get em over to the source.

Get off the apps and cable news. When substack comes for our digital freedom, we will unhook from the mooring here as well. (so far, so okay, but I'm watching very closely). Smaller spaces, more common faces, all fucking phases unless you want to spend the next 40 years either working 50 hours a week and eating Dollar General cuisine while the largest criminals of your lifetime keep molesting you and your children aboard yachts and rockets. . That's best case scenario. Registered Dems, you're already cooked, who do you think all that space is for? Grab your flanks and let's push the corruption from the bottom. The only way out is through.

Good news indeed Ken.

Now, if we can stop Trump going full on Bush-Cheney with Iran it will be a triple delight.

Also, as someone who was involved in shutting down the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle in 1999, the elites and media never saw it coming too. It was funny seeing their astonishment at us peasants getting uppity.

Boy, I wish . . . .

I'll believe it when workers own the means of production and democratically run it, and their political representatives are driving into holes the last of the Right and their bloodsucking masters, sealing the entrances behind them.

There's hope. If we unite and demand more photos of Hunter’s Hawg, we shall overcome.

Front and center to credit for the end of our ignorance is non-commercial media such as Ken provides. Unlike "free" media supported by advertising, truth telling media requires readers and viewers to pay for what it provides. This isn't new, it's simply another example of nothing of value being free.

By the nature of what they do, whistleblowers cannot be supported directly. What they need most is outlets for the information they can provide, another good reason to give to independent media.

Thanks Clif!
