Always remember

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." LBJ

All democracy loving citizens need to mobilize volunteers to accompany voters so they feel safe vote. League of women voters, get out the Vote and other non-political groups.

Ugh

It is what all those who voted for Drumpf wanted, even if it did mean that their own children will go hungry. Racism and misogyny are very, very addictive and cause people to do things that will hurt themselves over and over again.

Well, we have to pay for the inflated prices on the ballroom which will be funneled into Drumpf's pockets.

Are you so obtuse that you don't get Gov Whitmer's meaning. If you are poor, you worry, 24/7, about how to feed your kids. Worrying about a ballroom gets you no where, whereas finding out where the food banks are located and what resources your state has to help you is your concern.

Good grief, this is not what the Phoenix area needs - another monument to RACISM.

Fountain Hills to weigh proposed Charlie Kirk statue

The brief discussion of a statue during a town council meeting immediately faced pushback from residents who say they don't want it.

Teachers whispered the last bit to themselves. After a while they figured out we were too far from Seattle to feel blast effects, radiation would get everyone later.

DJT takes after his grandfather Drumpf, a parasite who lived off of others.

Barb 🌵🇺🇦🌊 @figment2.bsky.social · 1d

Oh he's planning on staying until they wheel in out in a
'gold plated' coffin (at least until Melania says NO and keeps the money to herself). Just cremate and put him next to Ivana.

Well the type below pictures is often to small and to expect him to remember who Truman was, or why a lot of sections of the White House were 'repaired' and thus the Trumans lived in Blair House while it was being done. After all, history is boring - right?

Barb 🌵🇺🇦🌊 @figment2.bsky.social · 1d

But you have to be able to read the text in the book. Since huge swath of people in the USA are functionally illiterate they can't even read at a 6th grade level (including Drumpf.). This is what happens when Koch Brothers, etc., buy red state legislators.

I have felt that way since we did the first "Duck and Cover" drill in elementary school ~ 1951.

Barb 🌵🇺🇦🌊 @figment2.bsky.social · 1d

Racism and misogyny are highly addictive!

Barb 🌵🇺🇦🌊 @figment2.bsky.social · 2d

Exactly! That’s why the ‘poorly educated’ are against woke since they are functionally illiterate!

Barb 🌵🇺🇦🌊 @figment2.bsky.social · 2d

So how are you able to post here?
