You don’t solve poverty by teaching everyone to become millionaires. You solve poverty by building an economy where ordinary work can produce a decent life.
Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.
This is the ICE agent who shot into a car with a 5 year old child in it. It’s just a random guy pointing a gun at you
Brenden Cuni is his name make him famous
Black pride grew out of a fight against oppression. White pride became a slogan used by people fighting to preserve racial dominance. History isn't complicated unless you're determined to ignore it.
check on your friends from San Diego. It’s 102 degrees outside, the padres are 1 loss away from their season ending, gas is $6.75, and the president just put a hit out on them
Black Americans were chattel slaves for centuries, lived under Jim Crow for another, then immediately got ushered into The War on Drugs. We've had our communities DESTROYED hundreds of times over and rebuilt it in the face of oppression but, let's relegate it to "despite racism"
Internally I am screaming as loud as I possibly can. Combing the world's most powerful military with a violent apocalyptic theology can become absolutely catastrophic considering our capacity to produce death on a mass scale. Honestly, nothing scares me more in this country than these christian nationalists taking over the military who are going around telling soldiers that trump was anointed by god and going to war with Iran will help bring about the 2nd coming. We fought a revolution to escape men like this. The framers made the 1st amendment for a reason. These people have to be removed immediately.
#TEAMCONGO women and children are being subjected to sexual abuse for years on end in Congo and you are just as bad as these perpetrators if you turn a blind eye to these crimes.
how is not obvious to some of you at this point. targeting the areas of study most based in critical thinking, empathy, education, & individuality because those things are threats to him & his agenda
Just want to point out Vladimir Putin can't go to the UN because he is a War Criminal.
But Netanyahu can go to the UN even though he is a War Criminal.
Because EVERYBODY is on Israel's payroll.
The man who sent “free p*ssy” to the group chat was on a pre-med track. He was going to be a doctor when he sees half the human race as glorified fleshlights.
And if that single fact doesn’t highlight for you how violence against women becomes a systemic societal issue, I don’t know what to tell you.
Let's be honest about what the United States came to Vietnam to do.
Not to "save" anyone. Not to "stop communism." Not to "protect democracy."
Those were the slogans they sold to their own people so the boys from Ohio and Georgia would climb onto the planes without asking too many questions.
What they actually came to do was make an example.
The "Third World" was getting ideas.
Countries were looking at their own land, their own oil, their own rubber, their own rice, and thinking "dangerous thoughts."
Thoughts like: this belongs to us.
Thoughts like: we don't need to ask permission.
Thoughts like: maybe we can choose our own way.
That could not be allowed.
So they chose Vietnam.
A small country. A poor country. A country of farmers and fishermen and people who had already spent a century being told they were too primitive to govern themselves.
The perfect candidate for an example.
The plan was simple: destroy Vietnam so completely, so publicly, so mercilessly, that every other poor country on earth would see it and go quiet.
Would swallow their dignity.
Would open their resources to the right corporations and smile while doing it.
They dropped more bombs on Vietnam than were dropped by all sides in all of World War II combined.
Let that land on you.
More bombs. Than all of World War Two. On one small country.
On its villages. On its hospitals. On its rice fields. On its children.
And they still lost.
Not only did they lose.
They lost to people in sandals.
They lost to people moving supplies on bicycles through jungle paths.
They lost to a people so committed to their own liberation that they built an entire city underground and kept fighting.
The example was made. Just not the one they intended.
The lesson the "Third World" learned from Vietnam was not don't resist.
The lesson was: they can be beaten.
The lesson was: their technology is not destiny.
The lesson was: if you are willing to pay the price of dignity, they will eventually run out of the stomach for the bill.
Every sanction today. Every coup. Every engineered "color revolution." Every "civil society" organization funded from Langley.
These are the tactics of an empire that learned in Vietnam that it cannot always use the full weight of its military without consequences it can't control.
They are not acting from confidence.
They are acting from the memory of Vietnam.
And Vietnam said no.
