Oralè Resisters The Junk Drawer Vivek Ramaswamy wants the Elimination of FERS Federal Employees Retirement System! I am one of the 2.7 million retirees impacted immediately! #FERS #Retirees #FederalWorkers #USDemocracy

America is having something of a 1930s revival? Building camps to put “foreigners” awaiting deportation into - because they are rapists and thieves. Unqualified but loyal people being given departments and ministries to run. Media under government control. Education being made by ideological.

Ambassadors with no diplomatic skills besides dispatched around the world. Law enforcement and military being “cleansed” of those not loyal to The Leader. Removal and banning of homosexuals and others. Removal of workers rights, attacks on unions. Even talk of annexing neighbouring commentaries!

Had turned it's back on Europe and international institutions that it helped create under Woodrow Wilson. Became Pacific focused to block the rising power of a rival in Asia (Japan). Didn't work out well.

They only went into Europe (both times) to share in the spoils and prevent Russia from taking too much. They also went into WW2 with Operation Paperclip planned. Along with blueprints and data - some of which was highly banned by the Geneva convention, they whisked 1,600 scientists, engineers,

Professors out of the country and gave them new lives in the USA. The best known Verner von Braun had rained hell on London with his rockets. Rockets made in factories with workers from concentration camps. An avid Nazi, he was made the head of NASA and oversaw the Apollo program amongst other

In the 1930s FDR said "We as a people... are less inclined to believe those who would create fear or encourage panic... pay small attention to those gossip mongers who invent tales, generally of course with a selfish objective behind the tales." This stuff has always been there and must be fought.

Granted I’m all for vaccination and stuff but what do you do when you have an allergy towards the very specific thing? Per example I have an egg allergy and the vaccine has a component of that element. So by doctor advice I can’t get it.

Sorry to hear that. Are there any alternative formulas? I'm sure you're aware but this serves as a good reminder to the rest of us who *can* get vaccines, why it's so important that we do, to better protect those who cannot.

A lot of problems we've been having longer than we've been alive, but people keep making the same mistakes. The anti-vaxx movement has been around for a long time, as this 1930 cartoon shows. And people knew that it was bs then!

Stuff like this (history) makes me feel stupid for thinking I lived in a unique time where lessons hard learned thru millennia of death are not forgotten or brushed aside. We have all 4 of these types in droves and in high places with loud mouths. Ugh 😩

I’m working on a re-publication of a calendar that has a quote from Henry George for each day. He was a social reformer in the latter half of the 19th century but so many of the quotes could have been written today. We truly never retain a hard learned lesson for more than a couple generations.

So nothing has really changed, there are those (like the cartoonist) who will capture the moment of truth, those that will comprehend and appreciate while those that are represented are either complicit or clueless.

The republican party is basically the party of Putin now. Trump & Elon are best friends with Putin. Trump is filling his cabinet and other positions with billionaires, who can go anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat. They want to kill American "peasants" like you and me. We'll die. They won't.

Mark Twain: "A favorite theory of mine is that no occurrence is sole and solitary, but is merely a repetition of a thing which has happened before, and perhaps often." I guess we choose to suffer.
