Nice writing, although I'd replace the word 'Stigmatize' with 'Punish'.

Adding this one to read. Read Hiding in Plain Sight and They Knew and reccomend those to all my friends.

The contempt for our institutions is palpable. It's a direct result of watching those in power fail to address the needs of the people.

Sounds like wealth doctrine, aka prosperity theology.

Powerful. Sobering. True.

Thinking about Joe Rogan, who called the untold thousands of homeless in California 'losers'.

*recently called, I should say. He was blaming them for the LA fires. I doubt it's the first time he's characterised the poor this way.

It's the cruelty they enjoy.

Your quote that I can’t get out of my head is, “They are stripping down the United States and selling it for parts and trying to convince ordinary Americans that it was their own idea." I tried harder and did more than in every previous presidential race combined to elect Harris, but here we are.

Excuse me - may I please slide in here for a second & ask your followers to ☎️ the White House (202-456-1111), or contact it at https://whitehouse.gov/contact to ask Joe to sign clemency case file #C296035 & #freeleonardpeltier now? It will certainly be our Nelson Mandela's last chance. 🙏 RT
