Every system has a beginning.
AIPAC’s begins long before the name existed — in the postwar machinery of Zionist coordination called the American Zionist Council (AZC).

How threats, harassment, and political incitement drove public servants out —
They were the people who kept democracy and daily life functioning — and they paid a steep personal price.
The Human Aftermath of a Decade of MAGA Part 5

How political incitement became real-world harm — and left families, communities, and public servants traumatized.
This wasn’t just rhetoric.
It was a permission structure.
And it led to violence.

This part of the story makes me angriest. Not just because of the policies — but because of how willingly politicians went along with them. They knew the damage.

How propaganda turned public health into a battlefield — and cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
This wasn’t just a pandemic.
It was an information war.
And disinformation won.

How MAGA reshaped the information ecosystem — and what it felt like to watch truth lose its footing.

How MAGA radicalization broke the bonds of civic life — and turned neighbors into enemies.
The fracture didn’t stop at the family table.
It spread — into churches, school boards, election offices, and community spaces.

How MAGA hollowed out the systems that keep democracy functioning — and why rebuilding trust is harder than breaking it.

How MAGA and QAnon severed the most intimate human bonds — and left survivors grieving the living.
This isn’t just about politics.

NAFO is what happens when the internet’s gremlins decide to fight authoritarianism with memes, receipts, and a complete disregard for decorum.
It shouldn’t work.
And yet it does — spectacularly.

Happy Easter.
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
Step back from the memes for a moment. What you’re looking at is a blueprint for how ordinary people fight back in a world built to overwhelm them.

NAFO isn’t just a counter‑propaganda network.
It’s a community.
And for a lot of people, it has been a lifeline.

If you are ever interested in checking it out, it's free (I'm not trying to hustle you lol) the link is in my bio. I don't think important info should be paywalled. Stay safe. 💜💜💜
I thought I would "take a break" this week and do a series on NAFO, in part as the model for fighting online propaganda. I ended up crying my eyes out, especially when writing the part coming out tomorrow. I think the U.S. pro-democracy people need to take a cue from how NAFO fights propaganda.
I'll keep your nephew in my thoughts, I hope both of you stay safe. This administration needs to be impeached. I have been writing about how we got to this point on Substack, I started in the 70's when the trust fund billionaires started to wage war on the working class and worked my way forward.
If Part 1 was the origin story, this is the machinery — the part where the cartoon dogs start doing damage.
To understand why NAFO works, you have to understand what it’s up against.

For the Fellas — the meme‑smiths, the ratio‑artists, the chaos‑gremlins, the kibble‑economists, the ones who turned a cartoon dog into a geopolitical migraine.

I'm terrified. I hope your nephew stays safe. I really hope someone sane will put a stop to this insanity. 💜
Looks like a chart I made showing the federal minimum wage and the rise in the cost of housing.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
We don't have anything to stop fiberoptic drones so we will be seeing the last moments of our troop's lives. I got suspended on X the day I spoke out about that repeatedly and spoke out against Israel. This administration has no clue what's been happening in Ukraine, we are not ready for modern war.
Blood is probably days away from being on tRump and this Republican Nazi Party's hands. Blood will also be on MAGA's hands for voting tRump over country.
Invading an island so close to Iran's missiles will be a death sentence for vets that shouldn't die for the #EpsteinFiles
“If you believe in transformational politics, which I do, you have to be able to believe that people can transform," Platner told more than 100 people packed into the East Millnocket municipal building.
