History has proven, over and over again, that there is only one way to rid the world of fascists.

Kent state was a horror show but not near the worst the military has done to Americans on American soil. What made it so shocking was they killed entitled white people. They have murdered more and quite frequently of black folks, brown folks and lower working class white folks. Look it up.

Immigrants make our communities stronger, wealthier, safer, more enriched in all manner of culture, music, food, visual arts, and a wonderful diversity of thought and experiences!

Fascists have never walked away from peaceful protests. They will have to be driven out with violence. I know nobody is ready for that truth, but truth it is. Never, not once in the history of the world.

And keep in mind, if the corporations manage to eliminate 90% of jobs through AI/automation, they will have no one to sell their products to. Henry Ford was a very bad man (Hitler used him as a role model), but he had one thing right, pay the workers enough to be able to buy a new Ford.... we need to get that message out to the corporate overlords, while we are at it.

Yes, I write a ton of stuff about a ton of different things, but a lot of people could do 1/10th work I do.
If we are all working on getting the truth out, on discussing what we can and should (and must) do, one percent could reach the entire country (USA) ten times over, same goes globally.
My advice is to reach out to accept contacts,(weed out the bad apples later) build your own universe and preach, preach, preach! and organize...

we have had corrupt media as far back as Hearst, and probably back to Greek and Roman times. i am not sure how we do that, except today at least we have the internet as a platform to create our own news sources. a lot of it is unreliable, but if we work at it, we can still get messages out. i have 1000 followers here, 600 on blue sky 5000 on linkedin, and 3200 on FB. I am pretty much a nobody, with nearly 10,000 followers/connections/friends

Palestine is at least 9,000 years old, no matter who ruled the land, it was always Palestine and the people that long before Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, long before the Ottoman or British empires were even born, Palestinians were building Jericho (9,000 yrs ago) and east Jerusalem (7,000 years ago)

Can we build a truly just and equitable society? If not, why not let Trump burn it to the ground? The system we are bemoaning want close to good enough, even though it made most of the white majority feel good.
Can we do this? I need to know, because if the answer is no, I am not joining the fight !

I know it’s a lot to ask of racist white supremacists,
But while we are all organizing and planning on how to rid ourselves of this fascist regime, can we vow that when “the good people” are back in power, we will quit doing all the horrible things we have been doing under both Dems and GOPers got the part 50+ years? Can we rebuild America in such a way that we get rid of our white entitlement generational wealth stripping, our double standards in justice, education and healthcare?

somewhere between slavery, Jim Crow, the native folks genocide, the anti Jewish actions of turning refugees around and sending them to die in Nazi Germany, the horrible murders of legit leaders in the your corners of the globe. Maybe for a week or two since about 1541?

I see lots of white folk bemoaning the loss of the usa’s moral authority the end to freedom and justice and wishing for a return to those days.
While I admit Trump and his minions are making a muck of things, I am trying to figure out when we had that moral authority they want to go back to?
