Those of us who believe in democracy and equality for ALL must stay engaged and speak out against the unfit racist evil to the core corrupt felon who is back in the White House. We definitely need the majority of people to VOTE like smart black women.

Hey America, if you were a Christian nation, you’d be feeding the poor, not yelling at them for using food stamps.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.
So there’s that, too.

It is wrong to punish an entire community for the actions of one person. The only thing that might have prevented this is not putting National Guard troops where they shouldn't be. And now the administration is doubling down on its bad decision.
This dude was vetted six ways from Sunday. Can’t say he wasn’t vetted enough. Vetted by multiple administrations.

• Jewish suspect commits a crime:
They use it to stoke conspiracies about “elite globalists.”
• But when a white American shoots up a whole ass school:
It’s the video games.
It’s the music.
It’s mental health.
It’s anything except whiteness.

Why POC collectively hold our breath when there’s a mass shooting or high profile crime before the suspect is even identified:
• Afghan man shoots a National Guard member:
With zero knowledge of the background or motive, the right screams that Muslims are terrorists and must be deported.

Summary: Kash Patel is hard at work seeking suspect already in custody. Potus is directing (illegally) more National Guard troops to DC despite having gotten two shot. He also granted asylum to the shooter. You literally can't make this shit up.

National Guard soldiers didn't sign up to be deployed as local police indefinitely as part of someone else's political stunt.
They're not set up to be local police, they never should have been deployed.

Gen X dudebro here. After looking at polling and voting for a couple decades, I believe that only black women should be allowed to vote. They seem to be the only bloc with stability, sense, and decency. I swear we'd become a utopia in a decade if we let them pick our leaders.

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand.
Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration the liberation of Paris.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
