It also formalized the slavery you mentioned, I think it was Madison, one of them wrote a declaration condemning slavery in it but it never made it in because they were cowards and didn't want to loose southern support. Not only were they racist cocks, but also spineless ones.

And speaking of medical test subjects, more people need to be aware of the fucked-up things that J. Marion Sims did for which he got to be labelled as the so-called "father of gynecology".

Medical racism is a big reason why Black folks avoid the doctor. There are too many bad experiences with racist doctors & it develops distrust. Most of us have tales of medical racism. Then you get into community knowledge of all the times we were medical test subjects historically.

Maybe it's providing childcare they can't afford. Maybe it's money. Maybe it's protesting. We all have our things we can do, and it starts in our communities.

Maybe it's picking up prescriptions for your disabled or trans neighbors. Maybe it's being a buddy so a marginalized person doesn't have to go somewhere alone. Maybe it's being an escort at an abortion or gender affirming care clinic. Maybe it's making food for neighbors who can't make their own.

"So what do you suggest we do to fight Trump?"

Find people in your community who need help, and help them. We all have skills. Maybe it's giving rides to people who don't have cars. Maybe it's going to the grocery store so your immigrant or racialized neighbors don't have to when ICE is around.

Way too many people still think that whatever happens to people as a result of American imperialism abroad *cough Palestine Sudan Congo cough* is acceptable, fine even, not our problem, as long as the lesser evil wins in the United States.

And it's not. I'm sorry. It's just not.

I don't know what more to say when it's just so clear that the GOP is full of the worst, most idiotic, and evil people and half the country cheers that on and makes fart sounds with their mouths and calls for death to antifa as the Young Republicans "joke" about being Hitler.

The answer to "is Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal?" is "yes, but he's also a genocider," and this should not be controversial.

And you, governor, should stop providing state cops to police protesters for ICE at Broadview.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 3h

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

Imagine being a genocidal piece of shit that only dreams of brunches and people being killed via policy and/or drone strikes.

Stopping genocide is important. Biden and Harris support Israel. The rest of the world, including voters and non-voters here, is trying to stop the genocide. And fight their own local or regional issues. Like the ICE raids funded by, you guessed it, both rightwing capitalist parties! Excellent!!!!!

Hey fellas, if they’re going to kill you anyways, should you make it easy for them? Asking for a rube.

"Don't take the bait" positions are counter insurgency & propaganda, meant to convince you that complying and operating under the tyrannical laws of the regime must clearly be the most dangerous and effective strategy against a tyrannical government.
Not only is this ahistorical, it's endangering.

Don’t misrepresent the issue.

People are mad at you because your solutions to a tyrannical government are “if they’re going to kill you anyways, then lay down and die for them.”

If you are attacked, you have a human inalienable right to defend yourself, and you should. Communities should, too.

This is at odds with all the, "They're going to kill you, anyway" rhetoric, though. If they're going to kill you, anyway, then don't take the bait.

By 'realize' you mean 'don't agree with you'.
No, worldwide anarchy is not likely to be popular unless you're the one enforcing your own rules down the barrel of a gun.

Always push back against counter-insurgency propaganda.

Your communities can, and should, defend itself. If they’re already planning to kill us, you are under no obligation to make it easy for them.

If you are continually surprised or disappointed in institutions and people in them your analysis / understanding of capitalist society needs some kind of adjustment

Consistent surprise means you don’t actually understand the world you live in
