“In America, you're better off rich and guilty than poor and innocent “ Immortal Technique

All my heroes fought tyrants. Many of your heroes as well; I would guess. You stand in their company, feel proud.

Choose Chaotic Good R M C: Be the chaotic good you want to see.

1/3rd of the country will follow Trump off a cliff. We just need to make sure we aren't physically tied to them or we go over too! Soft Secession 🌲 🌲 🌲

You never asked to be. One day you just became. Try to enjoy it while you can. The next time you become aware, you might be a bug in someone's hair.

I'd love to hear YOUR predictions and hot takes on the following question: SCOTUS just approved the Texas gerrymandered maps. What're the odds they strike down the Democratic gerrymandering in California? Illustration by Bill Kuchman/POLITICO (source images via AP and Getty Images)

If you value the law over justice then you will lose both. At one time it was illegal to free an an enslaved person.

Our situation is dire. Calling for a moderate response to a crisis is destined to be insufficient.

Level Three of Five: State Terror Inside the United States

Level three: political murders, unpunished agents. Level four: every citizen who engages in politics becomes a target.

AMERICA 👇 👇 👇 "Hey this guy's murdering tons of innocent people.” "Is he powerful?" “Yes." "Darn. Best we can do is wait 6 months for a popularity contest that he is actively working to undermine." ☝️ These people are culpable, too. ☝️

The President whose fundraising operation the report’s authors describe appoints those prosecutors. https://gavelgrab.org/2026/07/we-are-submitting-criminal-referrals/

“Fight or Resign” That's a rallying cry. We must lead our representatives to do what's right or show them the door. Rinse and repeat.

If the US was a house I'd say it's a tear down due to structural damage.

In March 2025, Washington’s attorney general sued one of the state’s own counties for helping federal immigration agents, because a state law forbids that help. https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-still-time-for-americans-to-talk

It’s (Still) Time for Americans to Talk About the “Soft Secession” Actively Underway

America isn't working. I think we need to unplug it and then plug it back in.

It is dfficult to celebrate incremental steps in the right direction. The problem is that the regime is progressing their agenda by yards as opposition progresses in inches.

I am in desperate need of existential humor as we go into another regime change war. Comment with your meme’s, Please. P.s. we can fight back, it isn't over, etc etc. Working on a piece about it, obviously.

It's wild that on Jan 10, 2025 Judge Merchan literally said that even though Trump was convicted of 34 felonies, he would received an unconditional discharge/no consequences becuase he was about to become President again.

The GOP is a transnational criminal organization funded by hostile foreign nations. They need to treated as such.

We are going to need a lot more “extremists’ to have any chance at democracy, SNAP, Medicaid, etc.

Fascists don't usually take over in a moment. By the time the coup has happened, there is often still YEARS of misguided public discourse about whether or not its too late for standard reform. Similarly, dismantling their sysyems takes many moments over at least several years.

Dem triad states should be having their most aggressive and prolific sessions ever to recapture our democracy and defend their residents.
