“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

If you haven’t seen this yet, please do. Because this morning something awesome happened that I’m going to say more about soon…. Hint: Georgia…. Town hall. It’s happening…. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

We refuse to let the oligarchs win and control us, and I feel a sea change (link to full video in reply)

Laur Joamets' Amazing Ride to the Peak of Nashville Guitar, from Estonia to Sturgill Simpson's lead guitarist. Read Now. Interesting cat, great picker! -> bit.ly/3ELRDVL

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Well said. We need leaders like JB.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

EMERGENCY VIDEO: Doesn’t it make sense, since we evidently don’t have enough money to stop AIDS in Africa or utilize that we cut Congress’ budget? Doesn’t it make sense for the White House to live on less? Shouldn’t Elon Musk take a cut to his Space x? adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Father Pence is not having the ‘King’s’ BS.

This seems important

Part 5 DEI Trmp/Extreme Right obsession. …and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites. “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N[eighbo]r, n[eighbo]r.” Hate, bigotry and racism. Plain and simple.

Part 4 DEI Trmp/Extreme Right obsession. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites. “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and…

Part 3. DEI Trmp/Extremist obsession. You start out in 1954 by saying, “N[eighbo]r, n[eighbo]r, n[eighbo]r.” By 1968 you can’t say “n[eighbo]r”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract.

Reddit post about DEI Trmp/Extreme Right Obsession. The late, legendarily brutal campaign consultant Lee Atwater explains how Republicans can win the vote of racists without sounding racist themselves: Prior to DEI, it was "woke" or "SJW". See more below.

From Reddit. Answer to a question about the current Trump/Extreme Right obsession with the term “DEI”. It's the most recent socially acceptable substitute slur for literally anyone who's not a straight white male. see more…

Way back in 2016, @GOP believed the truth: the economy is just a complex set of interactions between people, and govt should facilitate that. Tariffs are the opposite. It’s big govt. And they say I changed. LOL

Why does the president have Unilateral Power to Levy Tariffs? Seems counterintuitive in a 21st Century Global economy. Essentially the power to wage economic war. No checks and balances. And who pays? US citizens.

Will we repeat history? It seems we are already. youtu.be/42X_eAOU4DU?...

What’s the opposite of: Diversity? Sameness, uniformity. Equality? Discrimination, division, inequality. Inclusion? Exclusion, targeting, oppression. Think about it. Do something about it. Irrational cannot be either great or the norm.

Being obsessed with denigrating anyone LGBTQ and Trans and now targeting Diversity and Equality says something about YOU. You ignore your own moral failings to pick on people. Well I don’t agree with lying, cheating, greed, gluttony, bullying, racism and bigotry. Look in the mirror.

Teddy Roosevelt - Speak softly and carry a big stick. Trump - Speak unintelligibly and act like a cruel prick.

Mars seems like a money pit. Let’s feed and house people on earth as a priority. Billionaires can fund their own trip to Mars. Which is extremely speculative. Probably take several years. www.popsci.com/science/how-...
