Republican Sabotage Transit in Phoenix
YouTube video by HistorySock
youtu.be
My latest video:
Republicans have sabotaged transit in Maricopa County. From appointing transit board members who never show up to creating unreachable goals and sabotaging light rail through Prop 479, this is unacceptable. Also, Aliens. And a republican says school bus stops are entrapment.

The nonviolent moment was *not* peaceful.
The point was to draw out state violence, and be willing to face batons, water cannons, jail, and worse.
And Martin Luther King still got shot in the head— other civil rights leaders assassinated.
And now, civil rights progress is being rolled back.

One central lesson of 1960s civil rights protests is that activists can “dramatize injustice” through strategic “narrative construction,” essentially creating compelling stories in the media with clear heroes and villains. More in this thread: bsky.app/profile/owas...

Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.
It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

I wonder if there was a bill that Congress voted on in 2021-2022 that would have banned gerrymandering in every state.
Or another one in 2019.
Or a landmark Supreme Court case seeking to end it in 2019.
Now to find out how every Republican voted on each of tho—oh, they were unanimously opposed

To be clear (since NPR isn't), the "joke" is premised on the fact that Trump is kidnapping people w/o due process and shipping them to offshore concentration slave camps in defiance of court orders, human rights accordances, the U.S. constitution, all tenets of common decency, and international law.
President Trump brought grievances to the Thanksgiving pardoning ceremony on Tuesday. He joked about sending the turkeys to a prison in El Salvador, and claimed that last year's turkey pardons were invalid. n.pr/48nUsYx

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
