Reposted from @angelarye Senator @raphaelwarnock with the 🔥🔥 bars:

"Slavery was bipartisan. Jim Crow was bipartisan. The refusal of women's suffrage was bipartisan. 3/5 compromise was bipartisan. When colleagues talk to me about bipartisanship, I ask: at whose expense?

At some point the people of the U.S. must confront the reality that fascism is not simply a shameful legacy of Europe.

The Nazis studied the U.S. They saw a blueprint in U.S. racial laws: from the one drop rule to Jim Crow and immigration bans. The U.S. capitalist system is inherently fascistic: from the slave patrols to ICE.

What we are experiencing now is the acceleration and overt display of what has been in development in this country under the leadership of both, Democrats and Republicans.

We need a new system!

@stlcsb There are 3 dumpsters here, the 1st was placed here recently, it was originally further up the alley. It's missing a lid and it's basically at my front door. This ain't gonna work.

[Kasimu Taylor @mutraxx73]

@stlcsb It has been fixed...thank you!

Slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers would have celebrated his 100th birthday today.

On his 21st birthday, Medgar Evers and six other World War II veterans, including his brother, Charles, tried to vote in Decatur, Mississippi, only to be turned away by an armed White mob.

That day, Medgar Evers vowed that he would never be whipped again. He and other Black war veterans joined together to fight in the civil rights movement.

After graduating from Alcorn College, he tried to enroll at the University of Mississippi School of Law — only to be turned away. NAACP officials considered taking up his case but were so impressed with him they decided instead to hire him as the first field secretary for the Mississippi NAACP.

He put thousands of miles a year on his Oldsmobile, recruiting new members, reviving branches and investigating often unpunished violence against Black Americans, including the 1955 murder of Emmett Till.

On May 20, 1963, he talked on television about the mistreatment of Black Mississippians: “The years of change are upon us. In the racial picture, things will never be as they once were. History has reached a turning point, here and over the world.”

Three weeks later, he was assassinated in the driveway of his Jackson home. On his birthday in 1964, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, and President Lyndon B. Johnson signed it hours later.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

[Kasimu Taylor @mutraxx73]

@stlcsb Still nothing...

Just a reminder, if the US would stop destroying other people’s countries, people from those wouldn’t feel the need to seek refuge in the US.
