We should refer to @mashagessen's Rules for #SurvivingAutocracy daily, especially now that Trump is worse than Putin. Journalists are failing to pay attention. They downplay, buy the normality, say "we're not shocked," "someone will stop him." No one is coming to save us but us.

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the โbiggest oil deal in world history.โ
ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

Ossoff is so good at this. Righteous anger at the oligarchs' injustices is what we need.
OSSOFF: If youโre late with your rent, the machinery of late fees and eviction is very efficient. But when you tell your landlord about the black mold in your daughterโs bedroom, nobody comes for four months. And then, when youโve got to take her to the hospital for her asthma attack, you get a $3,000 bill for the ambulance.
Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid.
It costs more today than ever before in American history to fill up your truck, to stock your fridge, to power your home, to go to the doctor.
Meanwhile, and youโve seen it, the president and the first family line their pockets to the tune of billions of dollars.
The time has come to wield the power granted to us by our Constitution and rebuke this obscenity.

This Iranian woman is going viral for setting the record straight on Iranians: โIranians are not Muslim. We all hate Islam after 47 years of Islamic regime. Under Shariaโฆ I would be killed for dressing like this. Weโre peaceful people.โ
Surprised that Trump didn't just cut to the chase and push for Putin or Netanyahu to head the UN, to kill it.
Hannah Arendt on how extreme evil can spread across the whole world, like a fungus, because apathetic people refuse to do the hard, honest work of thinking critically โ
New: Sources from three countries confirm that the Trump Administration has advocated Viktor Orbรกn for UN Secretary-General.
The US has encouraged Orbรกn to enter the race, even bringing him the initial idea of a joint U.S.-Russia-China candidacy.

6/ Price said the stateโs policy not to monitor workers is meant to allow farmers to decide whether to contact the health dept, rather than โforcing it on them.โ
โIf we started seeing people actively dying from this, obviously that would change how we respond to this,โ she said.

2/ This outbreak has been raging uncontrolled for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic.
But the federal government has brushed off the issue, and Utah has prioritized the fur industryโs interests.

They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people.
Theyโve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19.

ALT The US has at least 44 states and territories with COVlD outbreaks, a figure identical to last week. The CDC continues to make large, upward retroactive corrections, and we are in a secondary wave peak. States with observed outbreaks include Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawaiโi, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. Additional states with poor monitoring likely have outbreaks based on high levels in bordering counties in adjacent states.
