Continue to the votes. Over and over and over again.
Vote into 2050. No Republicans.

"conservatives" have been conned for a century to back the Republican Party - which calls itself Conservative.
The ConServative Republican Party has NO "conservatism" in it. Just Irresponsibility and Lies and Hypocrisy.
Don't vote Republican.

Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America,
Stolen from Africa, brought to America,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival,
Said he was Buffalo Soldier
Fighting for America.

There's something happening here,
What it is ain't exactly clear,
There's a man with a gun over there,
telling me, I got to beware.
There's battle lines being drawn, nobody's right, if everybody's wrong,
Young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance behind.

Freedom. Richie Havens at Woodstock. 1969.
We are motherless children far from our home.
Sometimes I feel, like I'm almost gone. Far from my home.
I have a telephone I can call my brother, mother, father.
What better shines than a beautiful star?

Perfect. See my posts on Symbolism.

PoochPest @poochpest.bsky.social · 10h

This is an early symbol of Unity, among states but it could just as apply to people uniting for Climate, Economic Fairness, Gun Control, Voting Access, Rule of Law, Constitutional Rights, Freedom of Choice, Foreign support for National status, Democracy, Regulation of corporations, etc.

the Sea, cutting the South in half or the bombings of Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Vietnam. It is WHY I have been opposed (forever) to symbols of Oppression and Suppression, like Nazi, Confederate symbols of killing, enslaving regardless of the current "spin."

The symbol of a dove with an olive branch (twig), is not a declaration, but an optimistic aspiration.
The United States, has defined itself as a peaceful nation but with a defensive intention (hence Department of Defense, and not God of War). We never celebrated William Tecumseh Sherman's March to

I created a silk screen of this symbol years ago. For Peace.
I did it in red and in black. For Equality.
The Democratic Party (although I am registered), doesn't understand "meaning," "symbols," or communications. For a multi-cultural institution to try to "explain" policy is ludicrous. Show.

PoochPest @poochpest.bsky.social · 10h

People don't understand "Peace."
Peace is active, not static.
Peace is "both sides," not "one side" refusing to negotiate, holding a perceived "power," and exercising it.
I do not "believe" in Peace. I understand it. Seeking it. Work for it. Fight for it. Get it. Implement it. Fairly. To maintain.

Let's start with EQUALITY. Make "qualified" the exception, not the rule. "Qualified" IS the definition of "exception," But EQUALITY, should be the standard. In a Society and government, stating it as a core principle.

There have been indications through Marco Rubio's Republican ascent through Cuban, Miami Florida politics that this was who he was.
His hypocrisy, lack of character, and actions, have been viewable.
The FIRST indication was his registration as a Republican insider.

same story, they have interviewed local agencies (cops), bystanders, requested bodycam footage, AND reviewed the statements put out from Noem, ICE, DHS, spokespeople.
If we criticize FoxNews, NewsMax, podcast "outlets," the first question is: where is your evidence when five bullets were fired?

When we look at how legacy news and propaganda differ. Look at this article.
The government, in this case, DHS, ICE, CBP bring out "THE" case, but provide little evidence, collaborate on "information" to create a narrative.

Pam Blondie got to be attorney general because Republicans like blondes, but the Law is indiscriminate, diverse and equitable. Except when run by Blondie. But the one Law not passed by legislators, is Age and Death.
It's coming.

"Conservative," is just a power grab, to hang onto "traditions," but only selectively. (Equating history with "our," history, traditions with "our" traditions, "way of life," with "our" way of life.
