I keep hearing/reading tax the rich, but I wonder what good it would do when the rich pretty much own the politicians in government. That money will just get refunded or "invested" back to them somehow, and not used for the citizen's benefit. How about "seize their assets" or "nationalize their holdings"? We can workshop those though. I'm probably on some security database or watch list as of now though aren't I? 😬

Following his decisive victory in North Carolina’s gubernatorial race, Democrat Josh Stein’s win was immediately met with a calculated power grab by the Republican-led legislature. Just two weeks post-election, lawmakers introduced a sweeping 131-page bill stripping control over the highway patrol, utilities, and most critically, appointments to the election board responsible for voting rules. This move consolidates GOP influence over elections, schools, environment, and other state agencies, marking one of the most expansive power shifts in recent U.S. history. While the federal government under Trump sought a “unitary executive,” North Carolina’s legislature is wielding its power to undermine the elected governor’s authority—highlighting a sharp partisan and structural divide in American governance. Can democratic norms withstand such aggressive state-level power plays?

NSW’s new anti-protest laws weaponise terror fears to crush dissent. Targeting Palestine solidarity and broader activism, Minns threatens democracy itself. Protest is not crime. #NSW #RightToProtest #CivilLiberties #DemocracyUnderAttack https://www.greenleft.org.au/2025/1445/analysis/resist-nsw-premier-minns-attack-right-protest

Unreal — the U.S. Coast Guard tried to reclassify swastikas and nooses as “potentially divisive symbols.” Public backlash forced a reversal, but the fact it was even considered is terrifying. Who is pushing this normalization of hate? #DemocracyUnderAttack www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Then swear her in, Mike. Johnson's denial on Grijalva's blocked swearing-in feels like a smokescreen! This isn't about ethics; it's a clear power play to silence a Democrat. The obstruction is undeniable. What are they *really* protecting? #DemocracyUnderAttack #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Whoever wants to introduce #fascism into a democracy that has grown over centuries must first break the constitution. Because there’s no other way to replace democracy with fascism except through lies, fear, and violence. decisiveQuestion Will the people go along with it? #DemocracyUnderAttack 🖖
