Watched lots of footage of civil rights protests in GA, AL and MS in the 1960s. Maybe some of you were there. Mike Collins acts, talks and behaves like a small town sheriff with a club in 1963 after the fire hoses got done. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The war in Iran is the reason gas is $5 and diesel is $7. Mike Rogers has been cheerleading the war since the beginning, calling it a win, win, win. I don't know about you, but when I fill up my tank I don't feel like I'm winning.

If you‘ve studied history, you know what Trump and his fellow fascists are doing in Minnesota. They’re calling Somali Americans “garbage” and “enemy combatants“ because fascists need to create enemies and foment hate to excite their sick supporters.

There’s a grim irony in the fact that the poster that sealed Melekhin’s fate included the words, "All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." He was referring to Putin’s Russia. He could have been referring to, you know.

He Fled a Dictatorship. We Sent Him Back.

Russian activist Leonid Melekhin sought refuge in America. His reward was a one-way trip to a penal colony.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.
