How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

As a DC resident I do feel that the city has been overrun by "violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals" and I would like them to leave the White House and stop destroying the federal government.

Cynicism and despair are the emotional infrastructure of fascism.

The right believes the future will be worse in every way, so they try to keep people divided and weak, focused on fighting each other for the last few scraps of food.

Refuse to let them own the future. Life is not a zero-sum game.

Redmond: Workers are the true experts. Workers know what it takes to run this country. We build and maintain critical infrastructure. Workers care for the elderly, for children, and for our neighbors. It is we, the workers, who power this economy.

We hope you had a happy and reflective Juneteenth. In the words of the trailblazing pioneer Opal Lee, “you can’t erase history. So, let’s learn from it and be damned sure it doesn’t happen again.” #WePersist

I am an internationalist. I believe in creating a world where people across this planet can live in peace, dignity, and prosperity whoever they happen to be. I think this world will be substantially more difficult to bring about if the United States is controlled by capital and the right.

This is the thing I don't think people understand. The US has been so much worse than this & a lot of people were okay with it because it wasn't hitting their communities. Now it is on deck for everyone. White people better get in the field on the front lines
our grandparents paid taxes that built institutions they couldn't even enter and you are going to sit up here and talk about this being the worst moment in american history? y'all are so obscenely naive to the lives of anyone outside of your own bubbles. the jim crow kids are ALIVE.
