Just a reminder that #soldiers are hired to kill people. Soldiers should never be deployed to US cities. When soldiers are deployed to US cities, they are deployed to kill people. That’s what soldiers do. Spare me your shock that soldiers are shot when they are deployed. They are soldiers.

I lived at 34th and Broadway for a number of years and hosted guests for the Macy’s #Parade. I traveled for #Thanksgiving this year and am very sad that I missed the balloons.

Those bemoaning soldiers being killed in DC seem to forget that soldiers kill taxpayers. National Guard soldiers, who were only following orders, wounded nine and killed four students on the campus of Kent State University on May 4, 1970. Soldiers aren’t innocent when they are deployed.

A country where the president can ask election officials to 'find' another 11,780 votes and not be prosecuted, while citizens are brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights is not a nation of laws.
THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

When a boomer (of which I am one) tells you they are “a social liberal and a fiscal conservative,” that is neoliberalism. It means they are a conservative. Call them on it. Neoliberalism is conservatism.

For the first time in an #Amtrak station, I just heard an announcement that there may be random identification checks onboard trains.
“Show me your papers!”
Very sad. Maybe it’s time to switch to coach travel and ride #Greyhound, who protects passengers from masked kidnappers.

The best part of train travel is that people seem to know how to behave in train stations, unlike airports where seemingly nice people become barbarians. #Amtrak #TrainTravel

There are armed soldiers patrolling the streets of American cities and someone is surprised that soldiers were shot. Hmmmm… sorta sounds like that’s been the entire point all along: shooting people.
