Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers' instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.
If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don't band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.

Jesus... Kentucky sounding more and more like Detroit from RoboCop ('87 not '14). If the law passes, how many milliseconds do you think it'll be before people are getting off scot free after shooting their black neighbor for looking homeless and stepping on the corner of their lawn?
Remember how stand your ground was used to murder Trayvon Martin?
I traveled through Kentucky before and I guarantee you this is a reaction to the drug crisis that hit the Bible Belt. The major cities have tons of homeless people who sleep in the parks and downtown areas. They do day labor, and are good people if you get to know them. They aren't causing trouble at all; the housed people just don't want them around because they're perceived as an eyesore.
So the fascists' response is to start what is essentially genocide. This is one of the things they've fantasized about doing for a long time; they want clean, empty streets and it never occurred to them that the only effective way to do that is to simply house all the homeless people. And it never occurred to them to try that because they don't perceive homeless people as members of the community; they at best see them as violent, crazy threats to their safety, at worst as not even human, just a disgusting pile of filth, and so the only solution they considered or even want is to simply force them out of sight.
They don't get that doing that won't make homeless people go away, unless every single person is murdered, and guess what they want to do?
