The Irony of the former party of the Klan now being the preferable party at least on the local in the South just further illustrates how limited our power, they are now stripping us of, is within the Imperialist system.
Y'all ego driven Twit bots don't want to hear this, but the Democrats are mesurably better on the local especially in the South, despite the party overall being a tool of the Imperialists.
The black vote is one of the only defenses we have against further austerity and repression and they are mask off destroying the little bit of say and stability workers and oppressed peoples have.
Those dismissing and alienating those who lesser evil vote, don't vote, or vote exclusively 3rd party, ect., are creating unnecessary division in our main class struggle outside of their rigged electoral system.
Lesser evil voting for better conditions in the main class struggle outside of voting is a respectable argument. I largely do this on the local while voting to build 3rd parties on the federal level that support and raise awareness for organizing.
Those who are engaged in that main struggle and are less optimistic about how effective the current electoral system is aren't your enemies. If voting is completely ineffective it doesn't matter if people vote one way or another.
This is also true to a lesser extent of English speaking black immigrants to the Black Belt and segregated neighborhoods throughout the US with origins from the Black Belt South.
No nation is homogeneous and all are constantly changing and developing. A nation is defined largely by Stalin's 4 criteria, language, culture, industry and land.
This is all to be self determined. By this analysis nearly all brown skinned Spanish speaking immigrants including Phillipinos in the South West and most detribalized indigenous peoples come to face the Chicano condition adding to and being shaped by the national culture.
Iran's ceasefire conditions just dropped and they are not playing:
— Hand Netanyahu to the ICC
— Withdraw to Oct 7 borders
— Cancel Trump's Gaza plan
— Lift ALL sanctions, return frozen funds
— Recognize Iran's nuclear rights
— Leave Lebanon, Syria, Yemen
— Evacuate ALL US bases from Arab soil
— Trump must publicly apologize to Khamenei
— Compensate Iran for every sanction ever imposed
Then they ended it with: "That is no great matter for God."
This isn't a ceasefire list. This is a surrender document handed to the most powerful military on earth.
And the wild part? After blinding the US radar, weaponizing Hormuz, and rejecting every ceasefire call, they might actually have the leverage to mean it.
The needless deaths of our neighbors brainwashed and economically pressured into joining the US military are even sadder knowing the people who kill them are doing the right thing defending their country and region from colonial oppressors.

Con profundo dolor recibimos la noticia de la muerte del Ayatolá Ali Khamenei, víctima de los brutales bombardeos llevados a cabo por Estados Unidos e Israel contra #Irán. Condenamos con fuerza este acto de violencia que solo genera más sufrimiento y tragedia para los pueblos. La paz, el diálogo y la soberanía de los pueblos, deben prevalecer sobre la guerra y las ambiciones geopolíticas.
Trump's AI policy is spearheading a further push of environmental injustice against oppressed communities in Appalachia, Indigenous lands, Aztlan, the Black Belt and beyond.
It's all a scam to get the tech bro's AI bubble to subsidize the Fracking cowboys, oil and coal industry.
Trump's Bragg about forcing AI Data centers to make their own energy is just an excuse to push environmental destructive energy extraction that wasn't profitable before.
