The problem is within the entirety of the working class.. if policies are not working for *everyone* equally & disproportionately favors one demographic over another based on race, none of these *fair minded people* are living in a just society. Your politics don't work equitably for everyone.

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family.

It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support.

Thank you for your consideration.

"Racism is a plague on humanity."

And because it is so important to protect their belief in 🟠, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny ANYTHING that doesn't fit in with their core belief.

pleinairportal.bsky.social @pleinairportal.bsky.social · 1d

MAGA holds a core belief in whatever propaganda 🟠 presents that is very strong. When they are presented w/ evidence against their belief in 🟠, the evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance.

A letter sent to the head of the UN Security Council by #Palestine’s UN Representative said Israel committed at least 962 ceasefire violations in the first phase of an agreement in @ March..Averaging 23 violations a day.
29 people were killed TODAY as cited in this video.

This is not a cease fire.

Rachel Gilmore @rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 1d

This evening, Israel’s government approved the first phase of a ceasefire deal, which a Hamas negotiator said came with U.S. guarantees that the war “has ended completely.”

Many Palestinians are celebrating that this genocide might finally be at the beginning of an end -- but what comes now?

It is *very* difficult to be "kindly" when I see just people, who try to hold criminals accountable -practicing the law..
Seeing their rights and freedoms endangered by felons and hypocrites breaking the law...
Whom have been made untouchable by the overseers of those same laws.

It's not easy.
