Mid-Atlantic Gen Xer in PNW. Politically Woody Guthrie-Angela Davis. Born just in time for punk, hip-hop, & Mel Brooks movies. (And Pluto in bleedin' Aquarius, apparently.) Still, progressive humanism and unions, my bishes. Racism is THE deal breaker. ❤️

Gen Xer. Parents fought for civil rights. Grandparents fought fascism. Great-grandparents fought for workers' rights. Great-great-grandparents fought Confederacy.
It's all about the Union, the unions, the unity.
Here for the handover to Gens Y & Z and the melting pot democracy we were promised.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

If Hamas had just killed an Israeli-American there’d be wall to wall coverage in the US media. But Israeli settlers just killed a Palestinian-American so you’ll read about it at Zeteo but not many other places:
BREAKING: Israeli Settlers Kill American Citizen in Occupied West Bank, Family Says
Sayfollah Musallet was visiting his family in the village of Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya when settlers allegedly beat him unconscious and blocked an ambulance from reaching him for hours.

Guess what Trump did to the U.S. Attorney in Southern Florida who went behind victims' backs, over line prosecutor's head, & approved an arguably-illegal 2008 nonprosecution agreement with Epstein.

Oz: "When the program was created 60 years ago, it never dawned on anyone that you would take able-bodied individuals who could work & put them on Medicaid. Today the average able-bodied person on Medicaid who doesn't work, they watch 6.1 hours of TV or just hang out. Go out & try to get a job."

The department of education was created to prevent individual states from disobeying federal orders to integrate schools and provide equal access to education for students of all colors. Anyone arguing that today’s ruling it’s about anything but a segregationist agenda is lying to you.

Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.

Hiding the most shameful chapters of our history dismisses the experience of generations of our own communities, all lived well in pursuit of a greater humanity. Not this most grievous fault, again.
They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
