What MLK said abt "the white moderate" applies here, and is evergreen. When the US implodes (hopefully not in my lifetime), they'll be in disbelief when the electricity gets knocked out.

And even then, there's no guarantee without a sustained movement to make those future reversals stick. The US is forever at war with the people it marginalizes, forever willing to erase everyone not a straight white dude.

It's just soul crushing to know just how many generations will suffer under this tyranny needlessly to satisfy the craven desires of a white supremacist patriarchal legal movement established solely for this purpose.

You are not alone. I feel these moments, too, usually between 3 am & 5 am. I have to believe that what I do matters, what I say matters, what I write matters. What you've been doing matters, too. Revolution doesn't happen overnight.

The situation is far worse than it was nine years ago, thanks to Israel's own lifelong nukes obsession, the fanatical Kahanist turn of the Israeli Parliament, and Congress's complicity. A nightmare scenario I've long feared may be coming.
I am against an Iran War more than I can express.

ICE is also the fault of a complicit press.
How, where and who did ICE recruit? Why isn't every newspaper in the country devoting themselves to finding out who is in this brand new secret police force that now terrorizes America?
It's the definition of newsworthy. The answer is: they're afraid.
