"Civil War" is the opening track of the first album -- Use Your Illusion II -- I ever asked someone to buy for me. Got it on tape as a holiday gift from my friend's parents. I remember listening to this track and being like, hey, this is a good anti-war song that links the war machine to poverty.

Yep.

The video of the White/Male Presbyterian reverend being hit in the face with pepper bullets by ICE in Chicago seems to be breaking through in a lot of places.

More events like that are, unfortunately, needed.

Now, here's what might play out and they have already started. Some white people will push back even harder when they do this and some will end up in jail or physically harmed. That's when you might see a chmage in reporting from the msm. Depending on what person gets harmed. Ugliness is ahead

The plan was to harm immigrants from the beginning. Especially those in the Latino Community. Their calculations were to trigger that, occupy Blaxk neighborhoods and nake Black people protest in masses. That part didn't happen so Plan B.

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

A decision is not expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

Pritzker doesnt need to be arrested to make his point. What he needs to do is tell the CPD to start arresting agents they know are breaking the law. If a governor of a blue state needs to be arrested, have him be arrested on some sham insurrection charge instead of a simple assault.

It's how the Irish became white. A dedicated, sustained commitment to violent anti-Blackness/Indigenousness. That is white culture. It's why Blackness is always on their minds the way whiteness never is for most other folks of the global majority.

Unless we fight to rebuild the Black and Jewish alliance & fight against the antisemitism & racism in the DEM party. I worry what will happen going forward in the future. We must get all hands on deck to strategize to defeat the extreme Nazism and racism in both parties and take it back from them 1/
