@TomSteyer Capitalism is a side effect of racism. Capitalism caused so many of the causes that you fight to repair. The fact that you want to protect systems that allowed you to become a billionaire disappoints and lets me know you are not working in alignment with your purpose. Raceforwhat
An issue most Americans are unaware of is how much U.S. foreign policy over the last fifty years, particularly in Latin America, has led directly or indirectly to the destabilization of economies and societies from which so many immigrants now flee.
@AaronPriestes@marwilliamson Why defend lack of humanity? Why deflect with everyone does it? You miss the point because our culture lacks love and empathy in the design of its systems and you thi k we are winning commercially
@marwilliamson Makes sense to me. We destroy everywhere we go. European appraoch to life begins from an injured mind of scarcity thinking. #indigenous#aboriginal
@seamonkey10@Justice314Lady@saintlouismayor Actually you have it wrong. It is exactly what taxes should be used for especially in comparison to lining the pockets of wealthy developers profits. It amazes me how inhumane towards one another we are and think profits should be allowed to be funded by our tax money
@Justice314Lady@saintlouismayor The Northside is losing people because the Southside has received a disproportionate investment going back to redlining and especially during vince shamel and frank slay. You know as well as I do this is long overdue.
60 years ago today, one of the greatest leaders this country has ever seen was taken away from us. He was such a threat that enemies colluded to ensure his destruction. All of them should be held accountable for what they were responsible for. All of them. Rest In Power #MalcolmX
As of this moment, the entire federal government is in violation of the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment —not b/c the government has ended DEIA programs, but b/c the government is discriminating against employees and new hires based on the color of their skin.

@marwilliamson You are better than this. It is an approach to life issue. #Colonial greed, manipulation, and destructive behavior come from a combination of a scarcity mentality, a lack of appreciation for the earth, and functioning with dis-ease. We need to correct that first.
@etanthomas36 Because protecting whyteness is the top priority for powers to be to weaponize it at any time. We are the weapons of mass destruction and powers that are use us to keep power.
@CmmonSnseParty@marwilliamson I am not opposed to what you are asking about the DNC's handling of RFK Jr. Or many others. I do wonder what makes you think that Trump cares about the welfare of other human beings more than what they can do to serve him. Just seeking clarity.
History is being written as we speak. One of the narratives being promulgated is that the 2024 disaster for Democrats was due to Joe Biden not getting out of the race in January. That is disingenuous. More significant is the fact that none of the status quo Democratic officeholders had the courage to run anyway.
Lyndon Johnson was a sitting President when Senators Eugene McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy Sr. primaried
him. Their decisions to do so were not based on their place on the totem pole, but on personal courage.
Those same people will try to convince us in 2028 that they have the courage to take on Big Pharma, big insurance companies, the military industrial complex et all, when they’ve already showed us they didn’t have the courage to take on the DNC in 2024.
“Let’s just move on now” is not the message that will win back the heart of America. A lot more radical truth-telling than this is necessary if the Democrats want to course-correct.
State takeover does not make cities safer. If a state-controlled police dept was the model for law enforcement, then Kansas City should be the safest place on Earth. Yet KC saw more deaths by homicide in 2023 than any year ever recorded while St. Louis saw a 10-year low.
@EdwardNiam Exactly. The powers are scared of us fighting the systems. They are most threatened by us building a world of peace and health where we don't rely on them.
@markesposito44 @etanthomas36 I agree that it happens on both sides. Too many are afraid to work through a conversation or multiple conversations. Are you saying that it's justified because the left do it or do you have love for humans on both sides and participate in the conversation.
