3/3
A catalyst moment
“The real end of the Gilded Age came with the assassination of William McKinley,”
Theodore Roosevelt become President and made sweeping changes in regulations and social progression
The US has a long history of moments of national change due to power imbalance & corruption

Other things that happened to bring down the corrupt powerful people of the Gilded age:
Muckrakers were journalists who exposed corrupt politicians &businesses
Progressive populist movements elected change makers
Protests for labour rights, women’s rights, & improvements for the poor

Trump and his MAGA goons are all fragile little snowflakes.

It reeks of fear.

You don't "gotta hand it" to ICE. You don't have to "express gratitude." They're literally kidnapping your constituents and sending them to torture prisons.
That "protecting the homeland" shit? That's nazi shit, plain and simple.

He DID say who he was before trying to ask a question. The NAZIS did this in Germany, too, before WW2. Before the death camps and gas chambers, their weapons was INTIMIDATION (threats, denial of access to schools, clubs, churches). Physical violence will soon follow, including assault/rape/arson.

Trump, like Putin, don’t like people who ask questions.

“CONFRONTING”
interesting choice of word
it implies so much that is totally not visually there in the footage.
Corporate media led us here, and apparently we’ve followed them right off the edge.
Very Russia-like

We certainly don’t need to hate on people, ever really. Especially those who might be WITH us!
I definitely feel hate rise up in me; seeing the greed, abuse and injustice wrought by people supposed to be our leaders. But I don’t want to judge. People prove their truth thru what they do, over time.

Sounds pretty hostile.
Sounds like an occupation.

They are making their presence KNOWN. Not sure it will work out the way they think!
They’ve been in ‘control’ of society for long enough; turned the country into a bad bar scene; and want to blame people just getting here?
It is definitely time for the promises of democracy to be felt by EVERYONE!

I understand this is true. With any group of people I try so hard not to paint them all as being the same. The violence of the war broke people. Broken people create more violence. The war-makers, safe at home, making the decisions… get my blame.

Definitely something be aware of! Hopefully as a large group, all sitting down together, it will be much harder for them to get away with violence. Stay safe.

Thank you! None of us can stomach using their ‘proper’ names. Especially with all their hate towards changing names!!!
