Good morning! The State is an institutional complex infused in patriarchy, designed for offensive warfare and social oppression, updated to carry out global colonialism, and intrinsically tied to white supremacy and extractive, growth-based, ecocidal economies.

Just remembering how in 2013 I wrote about how Roger's wife, Kristi, was an exec at a defense contractor who stood to benefit from the privacy destroying surveillance laws he was pushing and he threatened to sue me for defamation. Good times.

The vote marked the second time the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) denied students at the nation’s largest historically Black university, with over 15,000 students, a midterms voting site. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

North Carolina early voting begins, with students targeted by suppression schemes
Ultimately, voters described the roadblocks as a feature, not a bug, of the state’s electoral system — one that’s littered with so much confusion that some may decide to stay home and not vote at all.

That is the white lie I and many others were raised on. 2 exercises might help break that mental block.1) we had enslavers in Congress through 1915~, segregationists through the 1990s, and now the descendants of both in Congress.

Just when you think the depravity of this administration has finally hit bedrock, they break out the heavy machinery to dig a little deeper. I try, I really do, to keep my eyes on the midterms, on getting people to the polls, and to ignore the daily circus of deflections.

Both the mainstream media and the gop (and dem leadership) bought into this notion that Trumps squeaker of a win over Harris was this giant sweeping mandate for conservatism and Trumpism. It never was. He won against a Democratic Party that has spent multiple decades hobbling itself. That’s it.
