"As Ralph Nader frequently said to me, we’ve got to stop asking people whether they voted for Trump or not. We’ve got to organize unions to fight Walmart. It doesn't matter whether they voted for Trump or they didn't vote for Trump, or they didn't vote, because once you engage in that confrontation with the real centers of power, that's an education in itself. The viciousness of those centers of power is an education itself, so you begin to understand where real power lies.”
Chris' statement here is solid gold. We've got to stop bickering amongst ourselves and get down to organizing labor in order to fight Walmart and Amazon and the rest. Power to the people!
Trump and his cronies are trying to take us back to colonial times when; women and children were property, POC were only considered 3/5 human, and LGBTQ and disabled people didn't exist in public.
Mark you need to do a cartoon with Trump & Putin & Maybe China’s President Xi Jinping, sitting at a poker table with HANDFULS OF CARDS with Zelensky sitting there WITH ZERO CARDS! A handful of NOTHING. PS Don’t forget who told ya this lol

Yes, there are only three things to organize around:
1) Class
2) Class
3) Class

Yep, Project 2025 and the 'Christian' Fascist agenda. All of it vile and disgusting.
Thanks, Mark. I found the Q&A of Chris Hedges very informative -- and chilling.
Yes, especially his closing comment.
Mark, the only solution is to physically pump the DC septic tank and install individuals who will
1. Work ONLY for a small living allowance.
2. Not accept campaign donations from corporations and NGOs like AIPAC.
3. Not receive a pension upon retirement, nor Cadillac health insurance.
4. Refuse lobbyists.
If people are willing to live like the people in order to understand and work for the people, we might have a chance. Sadly, I don’t see it comin’.
Yeah, generally, criminal sociopaths and psychopaths aren’t so self-sacrificing.
