I was counter-inspired by #ShilohHendrix:
Liberal ex-deputy, firefighter, & father who served 24 years. Facing foreclosure after injury & job loss. Help me recover, finish my degree, & keep fighting for justice. I stood up inside the system—now I need help standing on my own.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Seriously, how many more files would a reasonable person need to see for coming to a conclusion about Trump's tendency for raping girls and women?

Bring the Epstein Files out into the open.

I invoke the 1st amendment. Freedom of speech.

I do not promote violence. I do not promote hatred. I promote honesty, transparency and a shared humanity in difference.

The wars we've been winning are the battles in a spiritual conflict. The war might never be won, but we will prevail and continue to win the fights. We remain to assert freedom and justice to improve the quality of life, the world around, by upholding our constitution and The Rule of Law.

America's not been great yet. It's the promise that's great. So far, we've always been struggling to assert our identity against the same enemy, from the Crown to the Confederates to the Nazis to the MAGAts, and they're always funded by billionaires' interests.

They want that. They’ll kill us. That’s why I’m for American striking and staying at home. The unions are ready to do it. It only takes 11 million people to make an effective strike. The government shut down we should too. Nobody’s got the balls to do it. Sad very sad.

I think of mainstream newsmedia as the ones with big listener/viewership like Clear Channel / iHeartRadio Sinclair / ABC / CBS / NBC. Private, corporate, enormous, and self-serving. DemocracyNow! and FoxNews include too much fringe opinion, but at least DemocracyNow! is fact-based.
