Henry David Thoreau stood up for John Brown after Harper's Ferry. He stood firm when people derided Brown. The lesson is even pacifist have their limits. There is a higher moral standard than what Republicans in the mud can see.

Go outside look up.There isn't any man made beauty like our planet.However it came to be it is up to us to take care of it and it's inhabitants.Meaning each other too.If I was God I would be displeased with MONEY becoming the God man placed before me.Religion is man-made.Put your money in the plate.

Nobody selling water or food. Locking doors, no bathrooms. Tow trucks are just awesome.These animals expect any treatment other than the animals they are.People are very ingenious.There are solutions that haven't been tested yet.These thugs I hope realize that they are hurting their fellow citizens.

If they keep pushing the citizens an uprising it will happen.If the citizens aren't ready and our military will not back the citizens. It will be a long fight.There will be foreign support.We will be like all the others with freedom ringing in their ears. Except we had it, didn't treasure it.

Religion, a method to take power away from the stronger who physically just take by force.It also enforced bigotry by competing gods.The few who represented a god by talking for God's.Like God's need a man.This started paternalistic superiority.The rest is history.Wars over which religion is best.

Private equity should not be allowed to own many things.Our countries infrastructure.Fresh water companies, cement, steel, electricity, farms.Anything needed for existence by the American people.We should not be open to controlled abuse by anyone or corporations.

The middle and lower classes all over the world have to vote to remove people who want to elevate the rich at the peoples expense.Everywhere we have the same interests. Having the rich get tax breaks is an insult.The people are the customers that over paid to make them rich.No respect nor gratitude.

You can never fix stupid. We need to educate. They must be reminded that they are going to pay a price for such actions, just like today. There are serious consequences to elections. I hear people saying," I didn't vote for this!". Yes you did, thank you and FAFO.

Republicans are pissed because they now know tht time is running out on them.They are busy trying to remember what was said and when hoping to be able to cover their asses. This may be a HOLY SHIT moment in the Republican senate. I want to know who said what to whom. Who helped create Jan.6?

Voting should never be an option. Voting should be mandatory. An action that must be done by everyone. People who refuse to vote should have to pay higher taxes. We need a vote law. That would make much of the issues about Voting go away.

This is starting to look at little like the 1960s. We now have songs to sing about ICE, TACO, What is going on. We need this music it helps to pull us together. These songs are going to be heard by the humming shoppers and people protesting. Sing them loud and proud.

Bondi is testifying now. The Republican BS is unbelievable, I do mean UNBELIEVABLE!

doc50.bsky.social @doc50.bsky.social · 1d

He may not even be 4'10".I heard he has lifts in his shoes.He talks a lot. He over rides Taco.That is clear.Taco is too feeble to make decisions.Taco signs his tweets so people know it's him. Vought let's him know if the tweet is OK.They pull the strings and tell him what to say or he screws it up.

Is she a fascist as her history suggests. She has a force, driven by strong core beliefs. It is so hard to see people for what they truly believe unless,like Trump, tell you all along. You should believe that. She appears an enigma, something we don't understand. People now believe Trump.

doc50.bsky.social @doc50.bsky.social · 2d

So, why doesn't she change her party affiliation?Why doesn't she resign? Why isn't she making a difference?She is up for re-election and she is trying to head of the inevitable at the pass. Hoping to be elected then going back to supporting these child rapist.These insurrectionist, these criminals.

Yelling at them just doesn't stop them. They get into the car with their trophy and drive away laughing. We have to find a way to stop them. Talking isn't working unless there are enough people to surround them before they attack a victim. I saw videos of that successfully chasing them away.

People over seas fighting for the same thing are teaching us.We have had our rights for so long we no longer think that WE have the obligation to fight for them.People overseas are showing us how to fight for rights.Ours are disappearing.Stop them now or it is going to be much harder later.
