Ed Overbeek @edoverbeek.bsky.social · 16hI dunno, it’s in line with the death toll of that day and its aftermath I get what you’re saying, and Oct 7 is distinct from its aftermath. I just think that distinction is much less important than the casualties. 200

Ed Overbeek @edoverbeek.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The fiction that “the Democrats” control who their nominee is, like a secret cabal, is a load-bearing assumption for every centrist pundit and a large chunk of the anti-Dem left. 050

Ed Overbeek @edoverbeek.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Fwiw that essay and its title were influenced by Langston Hughes’ poem ‘Let America Be America Again”. One thing about that poem that’s stuck with me is the start of the final stanza: “Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death, The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies” Sound familiar? 000
Ed Overbeek @edoverbeek.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Women + minorities = a majority Rich white men are a fraction of a fraction. But they’ve been the ruling class of this country since the founding. And they don’t want to let go. Everything in politics flows from there. 100
Ed Overbeek @edoverbeek.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The United States has, in many ways, the culture of a minority rule country. Who’s deemed leadership material, who gets favorable news coverage, how our history is taught – it’s all infused with the bias, spin and outright propaganda of apartheid. 110
Ed Overbeek @edoverbeek.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The news is full of Republicans saying only some Americans count – with minimal pushback from the msm. So it’s worth noting that to Republicans, the *majority* of Americans are second-class due to our race, gender, orientation, religion, class, disability, politics, or age. That’s minority rule. 150
