William J. Barber, Il 9h William J. Barber, Il 9h Don't fall for the race bait with Trump's takeover of DC. The problem isn't that he's abusing Presidential power to send troops to a "Black city." The problem is that he's undermining democracy for all people. The people of DC who are in the streets marching against Trump's move straight out of the authoritarian playbook are Black, white, Asian, Native, and Latino. Members of the National Guard who've been illegally deployed are from every race. They've left families and jobs in their communities and are being used as props in a propaganda campaign. We need a fusion movement to nonviolently resist this madness. Black-only responses play into the divide-and-conquer tactics of this regime. We need moral resistance that calls all of us to higher ground. Don't fall for the race bait with Trump's takeover of DC.

I realized this week that there is really no way for individuals to mobilize themselves, especially with no reliable media that is free to everyone. I'm going to stick with institutions that are built and already organized to help people. That is all that I as an individual can really do. Not doing the chicken little thing anymore.

Morning everyone
We are living the Nazi playbook

Hitler declared a state of emergency to gain power.
After the Reichstag Fire, Hitler declared articles of the Weimar Constitution, allowing himself to rule by decree.
Hitler suspended civil rights. Paved the way for dictatorship

Familiarity

Ancestors Pavilion at Walter Pierce Park in DC. This is the site of The Mount Pleasant Cemetery. It is a combined graveyard of the Quaker community that founded the area and a much larger African American graveyard. While signage is there along with this mural, it is really a soccer field, a playground, and apartments on top. Without the signage, you would never know that thousands of people are buried there sixty percent of which are children.

Well, maybe if they were to setup a lemonade stand, their presence would be welcomed. It was pretty sunny in DC yesterday.
