Is there a tipping point where enough of us have experienced violence first hand that we band together and stop this madness somehow?

Or will it be that enough of us band together and the grasshoppers see that they need to back the hell off and legislate some New Deal again, but without racism.

I don't care if we spend the night in your mansion
I don't care if we spend the night on the town
All I want is to spend the night together
All I want is to spend the night in your arms

I told all the conservatives for years that a dictatorship will never let them keep their guns.

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that."

Still, think I'm wrong?

I'd love to see this country and the whole freaking world becoming more and more woke.

We need to hard pivot around and so far left were The Federation.

Otherwise short term profits will continue to be more important than human survival.

The South, aka The Confederacy, rose again, just as they kept promising to, the day Trump cheated his way into the White House the first time.

I know this because it was sociology classes in the 1990s where I was given the information that led me to realize that Conservatives would take us back to Feudalism if they could.

Turns out, maybe the can, or they're going to try their best.

It's the Sociologists, like Erich Fromme, who studied what led to what the Nazis did in Germany. They got to the character, the socioeconomic strata where they came from, the mental conditions of the participants.

Sociology can show us how to understand and thus prevent Fascism.

I love her. We need a hundred more people like her, who are down to Earth, are interested in serving constituents, and want to legislate solutions to our problems. And that will clearly fight back when challenged. :P

I didn't even know this was you when I read it.

Every time I read something you've said or posted, you sound the way my friends and I do when we talk about these issues.

You're seeing what we see, and talking about it straightforwardly. It's so needed. Thank you.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

There were protests for a year for George Floyd, and that was just the police.

How many murders in Minneapolis in just a week by the American Gestapo aka Klansmen in a different mask?

This has to be shut down now. We can't let this become a new normal. Please, can we draw the line now?

This is sad. :(

There are several other local bands with women lead singers that I have seen play, but 1. I don't remember their names, and 2. I may not have seen a whole show.

Also, I've only seen 8 national acts.

Socialism is using our collective money (and resources) for the good of all The People. Handing it over to the wealthy goes against the definition of the word.

I dislike the phrase "Socialism for the rich" because it's like saying "cars for deer" or "boats for land" or "money for communism".

It simply isn't socialism when we give the community's money to the wealthy. That's just good ole crony capitalism. It's the theft that Anarchists complain about.

How did he not-see where this was going by looking at Sarah Palin?

His dad's plans had all gone South by the time Palin was nominated.

To be fair, he's never been able to put together a coherent sentence.
