People who don’t organize into tribes get wiped out by people who do.

The problem isn’t in the learning but rather what is learnt.
Often what is learned or understood is not to get caught, or be immune to the consequences. A psychopath.
The person you mention is a prime example.
The point being made is that the term has become nonsensical when aped in politics.

Feeling very Reconstructiony- the Natl Guard was *also* sent to Louisiana then to quell racial tension and subjugate a certain group of people.

The more things change, the more you realize they actually dont. Copy & paste in full effect.

Pathetic.
A sentence with β€˜lessons’ and β€˜learn’ uttered by politicians should be the password to oblivion. One lives in hope.

Epstein: the Face of the Global Right Wing By Diario Red – Feb 2, 2026 The ideological and media consensus in global geopolitics has been imposed through moralistic narratives used to justify invasions, abductions, and wars under the cover of a supposed political authority rooted in religious convictions. To that end, they have built an app

The first human executed for treason in the "United States" was executed for freeing slaves. Think about that.

Trump posts racist video of Obamas The White House declined to answer whether Trump would remove the video clip or issue an apology.

He campaigned on white racial grievance.

For his entire career, he made racist statements & had racist practices.

EVERYONE. KNEW. who HE was.

And when the maj of white voters who voted, voted FOR. HIM., who (white) America is was also on display😢.

THISπŸ‘‡πŸ½IS NOT NEW.😢

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

We see the problem of Nazi Germany hosting the 1936 Olympics, so there should be no doubt that travel to the U.S. is fraught with problems.
Hosting the World Cup should also be suspended.

I understand, well that athletes trained for the LA Olympics and appreciate their struggles, but America has concentration camps and sending people here is fucked the hell up.
Take a motherfucking stand for once, pathetic world.

Three African countries agree to UK migrant returns after sanctions threat The Democratic Republic of Congo, Namibia and Angola have said they will cooperate on migrant returns.

Genius! Blackmail countries which have significant human rights concerns to take back people who often should not be being sent back and then celebrate it by threatening more countries with similar blackmail. Labour really is digging down with its xenophobic policies.

So much about this speaks of the ugliness of racism but the part that hits hardest for me is the teachers refusing to teach her, a small girl, demonstrating a complete lack of professionalism as well as basic humanity. Sadly, current regime in USA seems intent on that being reinforced as the norm.

"A society that claims to value our democracy cannot criminalize those who document threats to democracy...

If we as a nation fail to defend that principle now, clearly and without compromise, we may soon find that there is nothing left to defend."

You know, when all this recedes as it inevitably will, maybe it will be time to open a discussion on networks in academia whereby sex-power shenanigans and who-you-know clubs determine jobs and opportunities.

Blair is one of the most odious individuals to have adorned the political scene.
Another war criminal profiting from his part in Iraq’s dismemberment, his ability to find continued involvement in foreign affairs is astonishing.
There again, look who enables it.

Joe Biden’s fatal flaw was relying on the reluctant institutionalist Merrick Garland to prosecute the case of insurrectionist Donald J Trump. Had Garland done his job, Trump would have been banned from office and America and the world would not be in this predicament.

A Trump terminal Dulles airport? It could happen In renderings of the β€˜Donald J. Trump Terminal,’ the president’s affinity for self-branding now seems to precede itself.

After the administration put out a call for designs, two firms submitted a joint proposal for a terminal they named after Trump. f-st.co/AhiR3GH
