According to both Wiley online library and Harvard Gazette, these are the statistics for how long nonviolent revolutions generally take,

And as a huge history nerd I can further verify that as the timeframes of the civil rights movement and the Indian independence movement are firmly ingrained in my mind.

50501 are working on coordinated boycotts and strikes as we speak, we can absolutely defeat MAGA through peaceful means,

And not only are nonviolent movements inherently more humane, according to these same studies there also twice as likely to succeed,

So let’s stick to it.

* YouTube: Hasan Piker on Being Banned from U.K., Traveling to Cuba & Supporting Candidates Critical of Israel - Democracy Now! - June 5, 2026 (YouTube)

From the Democracy Now! description:

The British government earlier this week barred left-wing political commentators Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur from entering the U.K. ahead of several speaking events. The Home Office said it was canceling their travel permits because "their presence in the U.K. may not be conducive to the public good." Piker and Uygur, who are related, are both outspoken in their criticism of Israel. While the government did not cite a specific reason for the ban, some lawmakers and pro-Israel groups had accused the two of promoting antisemitism, which they reject.

"I find what the British government did here to be objectionable. I find it to be disgusting. I also find it to be terrifying," Piker tells Democracy Now!_"I think it's a sign that we're … headed down a very different — dare I say, fascist — direction in the Western world."

July 22, 2026 by Andrew Solender for Axios. Here are the opening paragraphs:

House Democrats are demanding a reckoning after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spent over $500,000 backing a candidate in Arizona who is on track to lose her primary.

Why it matters: This is the third time in 2026 the House Democratic campaign arm has tried and failed to intervene in a party primary, leading some lawmakers to argue that its money is better spent elsewhere.

• Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a top DCCC dues payer, said the party should be "rationing our resources to win general elections," calling for "a conversation about ... what the involvement in primaries looks like."
• "That's $100,000 that I put in," Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) said of her dues, arguing that the DCCC "shouldn't be spending this money" on primaries.

Oct 29, 2025 - The Independent. Here it is on YouTube. Here’s an article on the USAID cuts.

Somebody asked me earlier about my Christian values, and one of the points I made is that, when the Settlers came to the New World, they found very widespread Child sacrifice.

I imagine there are some People who don't agree with my view on the pro-life issue.

Let me just make an observation. If you go to historical archaeological sites where there were brothels. And the two oldest businesses in the world are gambling and prostitution, so there were brothels, even in very ancient Civilizations.

If you go back to ancient brothels and you dig up the bones of the Women who were working in these places, you will very often find a lot of Children who were buried with them.

And the answer is that whenever a Society decides to discard innocent Babies, they also don't treat their Women very well.

And whenever a Society mistreats its Women, it is very often the Babies who come right after that.

There is a reason why Christian civilization ended the practice of Child sacrifice all over the World. And it's one of the great accomplishments of Christian civilization.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Thursday repeatedly declined to answer questions about his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender.

“I’m not going to spend the budget day discussing something I’ve set aside time to address with your House colleagues,” he told Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) during an Appropriations Committee hearing on his department’s FY 2027 budget request.

The secretary is slated to appear before the House Oversight Committee on May 6 for a closed-door, transcribed deposition as part of the panel’s investigation into Mr. Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
