Truth here.👇👇👇
The guardsman who was killed in DC wasn’t from DC

The person who killed her wasn’t from DC

Trump brought them together

Beautiful muted colors of a chilly sunrise in SE Kansas. Please quit being distracted by his consequential soap opera, Folks. Priorities are ICE, Epstein files, BOYCOTT and eventually a General Strike. Hope you find joy in solidarity against the rich.

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is.  And we know what causes it, too."

Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?”

TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.”

ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”

These thugs get off on terrorizing people. They enjoy inflicting harm and pain. They like being feared

In a just world they would be afraid of us

We are all in this together

READ THIS, please.
If you want a sense of how far the surveillance state has expanded inside the United States, look at what federal authorities are doing on our highways.

It was foggy all day yesterday here in SE Kansas. Everything was dripping. It fit my sullen mood as I watched our country imploding under Empire. WHEN WE ALL STAND UP TOGETHER THIS WILL END.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

Better get your Mutual Aid act together sooner rather than later. I hate the fear, hatred and insecurity this evil empire is breeding and birthing.
The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis.

Now, big banks are ramping up the same risky behaviors that led to the last economic crash–setting the stage for another one.

If #women and men of conscience don't rise up together and SHUT IT DOWN by withholding our labor, nothing will get better. It will only get worse as we slide onward into authoritarianism. It is way past time.
