| Help us. We're Jews. |
The day after the Trump election, the New York Times wrote: “America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen in its 248-year-old history.”
For many, [this kind of fearmongering after] the results of November 5th confirmed the view that we are in dark times. So the big question is:
What are we going to do? We can wallow in self-pity and depression, or we can find kindred spirits and organize and form alliances to not just resist the repression to come but promote progressive causes.

| The Shock Doctrine: Rise of Disaster Capitalism |
“Not acting is a luxury those in immediate danger do not have, and despair is something they cannot afford. But despair is all around us, telling us the problems are insoluble, that we are not strong enough, our efforts are in vain, and no one really cares.”

(The Jimmy Dore Show) There is proof that Trump was targeted for assassination by the Deep State, proxies, or a patsy named "Iran"?
