article is paywalled with no workaround as far as know

but as someone involved in grassroots since Obama's first term definitely say the fatigue is real and the march of progress has ground to a silent eerie lurching halt

not all felons are liars or justly convicted

this kind of talk just fuels the oligarchy's tyranny and helps divide us further

scariest, most down to earth part of the article was the video

it hit extra hard

the election did not represent all of us in the US since there is a segment of the population that is not allowed to vote

not really

again if enough doctors stood up

licenses are pieces of paper representing their years of training and losing it will not make them not doctors does not work that way

we are enough people that change could occur

what if Martin Luther King Jr had decided that his freedom from jail meant more than the cause?

doctors are supposed to be neutral and treat regardless of sides

but that would make a less malleable population that is harder to contain and control

what happened is someone ran for president with police reform on the platform but four years later has nothing to show for it

Politicians ranging from conservatives such as DeSantis to liberals such as Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont have long pushed for importing lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada.

if both sides want cheaper drugs why not work together to make that happen by regulating big pharma and pushing for things like universal healthcare

fact that they don't just proves where their paychecks come from

at this point the doctors need to take matters into their own hands and quit relying on kangaroo courts

there are enough doctors that if most of them just started doing their jobs regardless of government policy something would eventually break and change would occur

two have always went hand in hand

US has already stopped investing in technology education (even people as young as 20 years old that walk in the shop here show no indication of technology education)

Democracy does die in darkness in part due to loss of progress in technology

after all other options are exhausted civil disobedience is the only thing left

examples would include handing about abortion pills in illegal states

legal standing is lots of money

some of us know that the Democrats and Republicans are at fault because it is us that are directly dealing with fallout from both parties

just wait until the shit that hit the fan finally makes it onto you sitting further out

and no not all of us had the option to get a backrow seat further away from the fan

When Democrats and Republicans work together to increase national fracking and oil production, protect polluting industries, not support living wages, gut education standards, not support universal healthcare, increase police funding it equals a stupider, shittier people that vote for the donor class puppets

you forgot the money spent on Fortnite

lived in both blue and red states with not much difference

for example, Colorado has swerved right making homelessness illegal and restricting the cannabis market and setting pay below living wages just like red states only the blue states have different wording and policies to achieve the same thing such as overfunding the police

blue and red being different is just a fantasy made up by the donors to get voters into football politics my team is better kind of thing

keeps people divisive and unable to truly realize and solve the problem which keeps the donors rich

Harris did not even need a plan the way she started

all she had to do was acknowledge that yes there are issues and talk about them publicly

just like at the DNC instead of taking the win she was given others were let on the stage to talk that put a lot of fire out of her campaign

Harris could have won by a landslide with all that she was given and the people that initially supported her, but she fumbled so bad it feels intentional
