I received this tidbit on Facebook, no surprise since the sender is not into politics, and basically
ignorant in that regard, but once again she has Trump to blame in regard to the many flaws of the US that were many decades in the making. What always pissed me off about the left when Trump was in office is that our so called liberal media which I use to rely on lost all credibility because they also jumped on the bandwagon and turned Trump into a scapegoat for all that is wrong with the US and simply blinded everyone to what preceded him. I will also give him a chance and see what he does. Seems MSNBC has also jumped on the bandwagon of calling Trump an Oligarch which they claim is meant to benefit him and his buddies. Yes he is all that is wrong with America and he is the cause of it all. Oh, and don't forget to talk about AIPAC and the influence they have on our politics.
Here's her bullshit, "I will not "work together" to persecute Muslims." Like she forgot or was unaware of our many middle eastern wars pushed by a neocon agenda for Israel, wars that killed and displaced millions of Muslims. Seems the genocide in Gaza isn't anything for her to pay attention to either.
•I will not "work together" to privatize Medicare, cut Social Security and Medicaid.
•I will not "work together" to subvert the Constitution by illegitimately pushing unfit Cabinet nominees through on recess appointments without the advice and consent of the Senate.
•I will not "work together" to build a wall.
•I will not "work together" to persecute Muslims.
•I will not "work together" to shut out refugees from other countries.
•I will not "work together" to lower taxes on the 1% and increase taxes on the middle class and poor.
•I will not "work together" to help Trump use the Presidency to line his pockets and those of his family and cronies.
•I will not "work together" to weaken and demolish environmental protection.
•I will not "work together" to sell American lands, especially National Parks, to companies which then despoil those lands.
•I will not "work together" to enable the killing of whole species of animals just because they are predators, or inconvenient for a few, or because some people want to get their thrills killing them.
•I will not "work together" to remove civil rights from anyone.
•I will not "work together" to alienate countries that have been our allies for as long as I have been alive.
•I will not "work together" to slash funding for education.
•I will not "work together" to take basic assistance from people who are at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.
•I will not "work together" to get rid of common sense regulations on guns.
•I will not "work together" to eliminate the minimum wage.
•I will not "work together" to support so-called "Right To Work" laws, or undermine, weaken or destroy Unions in any way.
•I will not "work together" to suppress scientific research, be it on climate change, fracking, or any other issue where a majority of scientists agree that Trump and his supporters are wrong on the facts.
•I will not "work together" to criminalize abortion or restrict health care for women.
•I will not "work together" to increase the number of nations that have nuclear weapons.
•I will not "work together" to put even more "big money" into politics.
•I will not "work together" to violate the Geneva Convention.
•I will not "work together" to give the Ku Klux Klan, the Nazi Party and white supremacists a seat at the table, or to normalize their hatred.
•I will not "work together" to deny health care to people who need it.
•I will not "work together" to deny medical coverage to people on the basis of a "pre-existing condition."
•I will not "work together" to increase voter suppression.
•I will not "work together" to normalize tyranny.
•I will not “work together” to eliminate or reduce ethical oversight at any level of government.
•I will not "work together" with anyone who is, or admires, tyrants and dictators.
•I will not support anyone that thinks it's OK to put a pipeline to transport oil on Sacred Ground for Native Americans. And, it would run under the Missouri River, which provides drinking water for millions of people. An accident waiting to happen.
•I will not "work together" to legitimize racism, sexism, and authoritarianism.
This is my line, and I am drawing it.
•I WILL stand for honesty, love, respect for all living beings, and for the beating heart that is the center of Life itself.
•I WILL use my voice and my hands, to reach out to the uninformed, and to anyone who will LISTEN:
That "winning", "being great again", "rich" or even "beautiful" is nothing... When others are sacrificed to glorify its existence.
In particular for making clear the distinction between corporate and oligarchic power, and the consequent changes which we are likely to see. Particularly appreciated are the observations regarding the shift from inverted to classical totalitarianism, and the insight regarding the careerist actions of those in the media and academia.
I read this week (remedially) America: The Farewell Tour and The Death of the Liberal Class.
Grateful for those, as with the rest of the Hedges corpus, for providing a perspective for (hopefully) navigating the times. Somewhat like having a map of Verdun, in 1916: an unfortunate place to find oneself, but it's nevertheless always better to know the lay of the land.
Don't think these attacks are meant to inform people other then to give people what they want to hear, true or not, and too often the so called left media are solely interested in putting money in their own pockets, which is their main goal, and Trump makes money big time for them.
Here we go, Common Dreams and this is the type of BS I expect once again. I hope not on substack!

'He Is Who We Think He Is': Elon Musk Appears to Do Fascist Salutes at Post-Inauguration Celebration
"While concluding his remarks at a Washington, D.C. celebration rally following President Donald Trump's inauguration Monday, Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk raised his right arm, with his palm facing down, in a gesture that appeared to resemble a salute associated with Nazi Germany. Musk can be seen making the gesture twice."

Hope your voice stays strong and heard moving forward into the dystopia.
Ding Dong, The wicked west is dying. Good fucking riddance.
I guess Ding, Dong you and you're family don't live in the West, otherwise it wouldn't be good fuckin riddance.
I loved it
Thank you to Chris Hedges.

I'm impressed by your comment, it seems very thorough and I'm sure it was a lot of work. I also agree with all of it!
Appreciated this. Thanks.
