> What to Eugene Debs Was the Fourth of July? https://dissentmagazine.org/article/eugene-debs-fourth-of-july/

FTA: "The stage will be gorgeous with scenery for the play of liberty, but liberty will be absent—only its ghost will appear, only its 'canonized bones' will be present."

I am thinking a #July4th #library display of what is the date to dissidents like Debs and Douglass and others would be interesting (at least until my superiors censor it).

Thank you #CaptainObvious. Humor aside though, sadly he has a point: #GOP gerrymanders (oops, redraws districts) and #RepublicanLite has to do it too (can't disarm unilaterally), and in the end it goes on and on. . .

Place your bets folks. 🎲

And yet gringos, poll or not, keep consistently voting for it. Doctorow's arguments are good but as long as people say one thing then go on and do the same stupid shit. . .

How impatient do you have to be to need your Amazon delivery in 30 minutes? Hearing echoes of Domino's 30 minute pizza, and they had to end that.

One‑party rule in the USA is inevitable.

Americans have already disfranchised the minority and women by extreme gerrymandering and revoking the voting rights protections. With this new measure, they can use ICE to round up any opposition.

Americans vote and work towards this future for decades. After this midterm, there will be no constraint on any POTUS and how he exercises his power. Americans can bomb and kill anyone anywhere whenever they feel like it.
