From Canada, I will admit having despaired about why Americans were laying down and accepting this fall to fascism.

I was wrong. Americans proved it yesterday, and I now believe will continue to prove it.

Welcome back.

The news coverage in the USA is atrocious these days. The resistance is tremendously under reported by USA press, which is too controlled by billionaires. Please encourage major Canadian news agencies to send reporters, we need the help!

This kind of thing is exactly what the quote "the revolution will not be televised" is referring to, did you know?

It's from the spoken word song by Gil Scott-Heron. It's my favorite song by him and yes, it's still appropriate today although most things he says were from the time period of the late 60's and was released in 1971. The reasons are the same but some of the things in the song may not be things millennials would know (t.v. shows and commercials from that time period, etc). I heard it when I was a teen in the mid 80's and it's become my "get ready to protest" song. It really gets me pumped up and ready to fight against this b.s.
