I’m also tired of the foolishness.
They’re basically the KKK - masks instead of hoods.
the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.

“Behavioral explanations for Black poverty..he pointed out, “means having your legs cut off, and then being condemned for being a cripple.” Young Black students like Fort were pushed out of school while white teenagers who caused trouble were…given opportunities for redemption”

A must read.

The government now knows they will be removed and prosecuted if there is an election.

And they will act accordingly. We cannot be surprised. We must be prepared.

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

It’s interesting that in its 250th year America is falling apart - or rather showing its true colors.

And I’ll quote myself.

It was never about criminal illegal aliens. It was about trying to preserve white supremacy.

Shutting the government down because the president’s thug army keeps murdering American citizens for no reason seems pretty reasonable, IMO!

Hard truth, but you’re not wrong. This country’s cruelty didn’t just start it just widened who it hits.

Truly. I am begging white liberals to stop pronouncing the death of democracy or America. This place has always been cruel to the people it knows it can exploit for profit. The only change is that you're on that list now too.

Yes. But we first need to own that we are THAT country.
The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

The kidnappings of Black, Latine, Indigenous, and Asian US citizens are not an accident. They are the leading edge of a wide-scale ethnic cleansing campaign with centuries-old roots that is intentionally targeting not just non-citizens but all people of color.

All. People. Of. Color.

He is a total embarrassment, and as awful as it is I feel no second-hand embarrassment for him. I’m glad he’s making a fool of himself for all the world to see. Question is, what will the world (or Congress) do in response?

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

Anywho, things are messy. We are both complicit in terrible things while also being subjected to horrors. We perpetrate harm and also experience it.

There’s been so many “last straws”…
The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/U0fviLiM

Let's talk about the midterms.

ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.

Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!
