I understand.

The current KKK was only formed / incarnated (at Stone Mtn., GA) in the mid-20th century — as pushback against the Civil Rights movement (largely) I suppose.

Certainly, it should have been eliminated, or could have been more effectively opposed, long before now.

The next critical funding deadline is Jan. 30, when current funding expires. Congress must pass a new spending agreement by this date to avoid another potential shutdown. Pressure Democrats to hold the line. If your representative voted with Republicans, remind them Republicans don’t keep promises.🔄

Evening everyone.

Say hi to old friends and make new ones.

Today’s quote is one most of us have heard before, but it is even more important today. Silence is what they count on. We must be vocal and visible. Standing together gets it done!

January 3rd and I am speechless after waking up and hearing that Trump said President Maduro and his wife were captured in ‘large scale strike against Venezuela and flown out of the country

It’s bad enough to have a president who is a malignant narcissist, but it’s dangerous to have one who also has lost his concept of reality.
Bad things will keep escalating until he is removed from the Presidency
