I watch. I pray. I write. I speak.

The biggest divide in our politics is not left vs right — it’s top vs bottom.

Billionaires are dividing us because our unity is a threat to their wealth and power.

I went on @joerogan’s show to bridge the divide and build a coalition big enough to take power back.

@RpsAgainstTrump I fear the conditions are becoming ripe for an American version of Krystalnacht against people of color. Please tell me there are folks formerly in the intelligence community and military who are loyal to the constitution. Please tell me there’s resistance.

[Tim Wise @timjacobwise]

This is how the white right thinks: all of them. He’s just willing to admit it. Politically blowtorch these people.

[The Associated Press @AP]

President Joe Biden used his farewell address to the nation Wednesday to warn of an “oligarchy” of the ultra-wealthy taking root in the country and of a “tech-industrial complex” that is infringing on Americans’ rights and the future of democracy.

Can New England come to Canada too?

Canadian politicians are now threatening to take California, Washington and Oregon, promising them free healthcare if they join as a province of Canada

Board Certified Surgeon in Austin, Texas is whistleblower on US Health Insurance Companies

She was just PULLED OUT OF SURGERY
while her patient was asleep and forced to speak with UnitedHealthcare who tries to cancel patients inpatient stay after surgery who has CANCER

“It's 2025 and insurance just keeps getting worse”

“I've never had this happen before. But during the second deep, I had a phone call into the operating room saying that UnitedHealthcare wanted me to call them about one of the patients who was having surgery”

“So I scrubbed outta my case and I called UnitedHealthcare and the gentleman said he needed some information about her, wanna know her diagnosis and whether whether her inpatient stay should be justified. — I was like, do you understand that she's asleep right now and she has breast cancer?”

“It's out of control. It insurance is out of control. I have no other words.”

@RpsAgainstTrump There was a chance had Washington listened during decades of peaceful protests. A large swath of the country has reached its boiling point. I fear we have entered into a new era of all-out class warfare. Mangione v. Thomson just lit the match.

[Sharon Shelton Corpening @shastonwrites]

@RpsAgainstTrump May Brian Thompson’s memory be a blessing. And may the memories of the many millions of victims of corporate greed and class control be a blessing as well.

[Sharon Shelton Corpening @shastonwrites]

@RpsAgainstTrump Policies that deny survival are also murder. Corporate housing, fossil fuel, insurance and gun lobbies representing big corporations ensure policies that lead to an insidious system of mass death. Policies denying safety nets kill too.

@bluhue123 Yes

@timjacobwise Using the counter-argument of the Arab slave trade within Africa as a point of whataboutism to assuage White folks of their guilt and moral responsibility is simple cowardice — fear at facing the facts of what you’re capable of. Nothing more.

[Sharon Shelton Corpening @shastonwrites]

@timjacobwise The Arab/Muslin slave trade targeted non-Muslims mostly. It was a tool of spreading Islam. And the spoils of war.

[Sharon Shelton Corpening @shastonwrites]

@timjacobwise The TransAtlantic slave trade and race-based cattle slavery of Europe and the Americas was the most brutal. The Arab slave trade was not. Slaves we’re often tradespeople, money managers, and soldiers. They weren’t treated as if they were subhuman.

[Sharon Shelton Corpening @shastonwrites]

@timjacobwise The Arab Muslim slave trade and the TransAtlantic slave trade were the two most exploitive slave trade markets targeting sub-Saharan Black peoples ever. Many sub-Saharan kingdoms fought actively against the Arab exploitation.

[Sharon Shelton Corpening @shastonwrites]

@timjacobwise Yes, he was the worst of Muslim/Arab slave traders who profited in the slave trade as a result of victory over Congo who were fighting the Arab slave trade in their country. King Leopold I backed the war. Tip was Tanzanian.

@LakotaMan1 You reap what you sow:

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Bill Clinton: Young people know that a lot more Palestinians have been killed than Israelis & I tell them what Arafat walked away from; they can’t believe it…he walked away from a Palestinian state, with a capital in East Jerusalem, 96% of the West Bank…

[REPUBLICANS AGAINST MAGA @michaelt5656]

My Republican friends,
Did you know this before you voted?

[Sharon Shelton Corpening @shastonwrites]

@timjacobwise Black, Latino, and Indigenous folks KNOW white folks better than they know themselves. You better believe we’re always ready. Nothing surprises us. Centuries ago, certain kinds of white folks showed us who they really are. We never stopped believing them.

@ahez68 @timjacobwise So are Proud Boys and the Boogaloo Boys. What’s your point?
