Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton :

"We used to run around yellin ’bout Panther Power—the Panthers run it. We admit we made mistakes. Our ten point program is in the midst of being changed right now, because we used the word “white” when we should have used the word “capitalist”. We’re the first to admit our mistakes. We no longer say Panther Power because we don’t believe the Panthers should have all the power. We are not for the dictatorship of the Panthers. We are not for the dictatorship of Black people. We are for the dictatorship of the people."

From a speech delivered April 27, 1969

how it feels to do anything

[Atlas @TitanNamedAtlas]

We have to begin to understand that policymakers do commit acts of violence. We pretend that someone in a board room, denying healthcare to millions isn't committing an act that may lead to the deaths of thousands of people.

@GilroyMusic Felt a little heavy handed on its message in the final few minutes, but overall I'm a fan

"We didn't know of one single atrocity committed by the Cubans, it was pure raw false propaganda to create an illusion of Communists eating babies for breakfast."

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

you are correct: this is an example of how language is manipulated for political reasons.
obviously, these underaged girls in ICE facilities did not impregnate themselves. rape is not even mentioned. instead, the girls "test positive for pregnancy" as if it has been solely their own responsibility. what an insult to common sense as well as morality.

we're seeing more unambiguous murders and executions by pigs than we saw during the BLM protests but they're just kind of another bit of noise now in a news cycle because they've gamed out the average american attention span

以前马杜罗时代虽然在美国制裁下，还能石油找中国换食品，换日用品，换药品，能勉强维持物价稳定，现在切断跟中国联系后通胀直接上天，2026年3月已达 649.5%。IMF预测，该数据到2026年底可能会进一步飙升至682%。

现在委内瑞拉卖石油的钱转入到美财政部设立的特别账户了，黄金储备也被美国拉走了，货币贬值更快了…

不乱就怪了

“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.”

This isn’t a small deal. Restaurant Depot is where most mom & pop restaurants go to buy inventory because Sysco is so expensive.

Restaurant Depot was privately owned. Sysco is owned by… you guessed it, BlackRock & Vanguard.

Now private equity can control pricing for food costs with zero competition. Just like they did with housing.

This should be an anti-trust violation, but we have politicians that work for Big Corp, not us.

58,000 Americans died in Vietnam.

Over 3,000,000 Vietnamese died.

And for fifty years, American culture has centered the grief of the 58,000 while treating the 3,000,000 as a backdrop.

As scenery. As context. As "the Vietnam War experience."

They built a wall in Washington with American names on it.

A beautiful wall. A solemn wall.

Good. Mourn your dead.

But understand what that wall does not say.

It does not say why they died.

It does not say what they were doing there.

It does not say what was done in their name to the people whose country it actually was.

It does not mention My Lai, where American soldiers massacred an entire village, old men, women, children, babies, and the officer who ordered it served three years of house arrest before being pardoned.

Three years. House arrest. Pardoned.

For five hundred people murdered in a ditch.

It does not mention the 2.7 million acres of Vietnamese forest doused in Agent Orange, a chemical weapon disguised as herbicide, that is still deforming Vietnamese children today.

Not in 1970. Not in 1985. Today.

Children born in 2020 with bodies twisted by a war their grandparents fought.

And the chemical companies that made it are still in business.

Still profitable.

Still un-prosecuted.

And yet they send us human rights reports.

They grade our democracy.

They warn us about our behavior.

The audacity is so enormous it becomes almost impressive.

Almost.

People are dying and your country is run by rapist pedophiles, your idea of protest is dancing in frog suits with a government granted permit?
