There is no division greater than class. Class subsumes all other suffering and injustice. Affluence mitigates most pain and suspends most consequences, but that should not be our individual goal.

Same here in Arkansas. It’s an ugly mix of theocracy, racism, and privilege.
My local rural school district is set to lose over $700,000 a year under the new school funding formula, while the Governor is funding private religious schools with taxpayer vouchers.

Pay attention. This is how an entitled psychopath thinks about anyone/thing that displeases them. His “reality” is a lie. The world is divided between sycophants and enemies.

Trump on air traffic controllers: "A lot of people want the job. I was not happy when I saw all these people -- look, life is not so easy for anybody. Our country has never done better. We should not have had people leaving their jobs."

The Democratic Party has no moral center, no guiding star, no discernible goals. It is anomic, rudderless and, powerless. It doesn’t have to be this way.
The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

As I said yesterday, the privileged class knows that no real consequences will ever attach to their behavior. To punish them effectively there are only two options: deprivation of all wealth or deprivation of life. They can defeat any other punishment.
Lest we think it’s just happening in the US. Perspective isn’t everything; it’s the only thing.
