    Yeah, we're all in the same boat, it's called the USA. We're coming out of a four year storm (fucking hurricane more like it) together. Getting rid of illegal criminal aliens, saving taxpayers money from wasteful and unnecessary funding ridiculous agendas, on the verge of ending a war Biden allowed due to his deep connections (Ukraine) and getting repaid for our tax dollars funding it through mineral resources. Putting lazy ass Fed employees back in the office and out of their cozy PJ's working on their couches. We're on the right track but a certain group will whine b/c their gravy train is coming to an end. 
    I'm sure some of you are going to miss Joy Reid racist/false narratives as she got shit canned and Mr. Maddow isn't far behind on the chopping block on MSNBC and Trump suck ups Morning Joe as well.

    Sounds to me you and I are not on the same planet.  But the truth is, we are in the same predicament: We are living in a country in which the basic fundamental components of Democracy are being torn apart by a egomaniac who seeks only to destroy and draw attention to himself, and who has no plan for an alternative besides tearing things down.. He and his billionaire sidekick and other mega-rcih who are only in the game for their own profit.  The results of all this will make life for the common person in this country far more challenging than we have seen before.   

    Bear in mind, that most of today's neophyte defenders of tyranny have no idea what it is like to live under a tyrant.  Most do not have even a basic level of knowledge or understanding of the history. To them, all of this is like some kind of sporting event.  I'm here to tell you, it's no game.

    But if pro tyrant/dictator folks want to continue spouting the lies and bullshit spread by false "news: outlets from the radical far-right, that is their prerogative. I just don't want to hear then bitch complain when they come to the realization that we've all been had by super wealthy people who care care one bit about us.  They just want our money, and as much of it as they can get their hands on.

    Well OK, then.  Can we please get back to the subject of this thread which is taking time to acknowledge defenders of Democracy instead of coming here to berate those who do just that?  
    Please, no thread crapping, thank you.

    Last night at the White House, the Army Choir sang Do You Hear The People Sing, an anthem about the people rising up against the oppressive monarchy and sparking a revolution. 🙌🏼 Absolutely badass. Art is resistance, and resistance is everywhere.

    small acts of rebellion are important...
    first is the video.... what follows is the outcome.


    I can’t stop listening to The U.S. Army Choir singing “One Day More” from Les Miserables in front of Trump at the WH this weekend.

    If you haven’t seen Les Mis, this is the last song of Act One, where the people of France fight to overthrow a tyrannical dictator.

    It’s a song of resistance, rebellion, & revolution.

    “One day to a new beginning
    Raise the flag of freedom high!
    Every man will be a king
    There's a new world for the winning
    There's a new world to be won
    Do you hear the people sing?”


    then......

    The US Army Choir director, Captain Bonnie Alger, has been removed from the .gov website as of today. This comes just days after the “Do You Hear the People Sing” performance at the WH.

    Commentary: There is a danger of letting what’s happening in America become normalized.

    Flying the U.S. flag upside down is a symbol of distress and emergency, and our actions are to proclaim that America is in distress, and we are in a “state of emergency.”

    The location and timing of the flag was strategic: it’s happening during Firefall, an event that draws thousands of visitors to Yosemite to catch a glimpse of a waterfall that is illuminated by the sun during this time of year.
