Just because one party is made up of fascists does not absolve us of the responsibility to hold the other party accountable for its inaction, neglect, dismissiveness, or lack of courage and strategy. That means holding Democrats accountable.
Last week I unsubscribed from SiriusXM, somewhat sadly because I used it on car trips and at other times to listen to news and radio programs, even some by my friends. But I could no longer take the constant running of right wing “patriot“

It's Black History Month. Black leaders historically have put themselves on the line for rights and democracy, and taught us how to do it.
All the organizing now going on is rooted in historical Black and indigenous leadership. Recognize the shoulders on which you stand.

Note: I should have added "at worst" to the line about the fishermen. We don't know how many were actually even doing that.
Also, as with the brazen, wildly exaggerated lying, the hypocrisy is itself a projection of power. They want you to see that there's no pretense of justice or fairness.

I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.

But it's beside the point: Even in good conditions, it's critical to realize holding people W/O due process for no reason is STILL A HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION.
