A lot of people had little to say until #ICE started executing white people. If you're going to scream for Renee Good and Alex Pretti (true allies and heroes slaughtered by Trump's #MAGA minions) and not mention #KeithPorter or any of the other POC victims of the #TrumpGestapo -- you're revealing something about YOURSELF.

1) It's a shame so many USians ignore the warning about history repeating itself. History is NOW.

2) Read and ponder #MLK's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail. https://letterfromjail.com

3) Because of centrists, moderates, middle-of-the-roaders, conformists, go-along-to-get-alongers, wannabe Defaulters, temporarily embarrassed millionaires, and lesser-evil voters, we are likely doomed.

Good opportunity to recommend that everyone read in full the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," which talks about the unending disappointment that is the #whitemoderate.

1. NOT your buddy. Just praying for you.

2. I'll bet Owens believes the sky is blue too, does not mean we are allied in any way. Miss me with that specious argument. Also the rightwing is known for coopting leftist terms and concepts. They're shady like that. So are Democrats. Wow, you guys have that in common -- are you all allies???

2. Privileged??? Born brown in a white-supremacist hellhole and have suffered the realities of such for more than six decades. Homeless. In poverty for years. Working destitute Privileged??? Eff off. No health care. Privileged??? Eff off. I will NEVER own a home and cannot rent one. I will NEVER own a new car. And I have a college degree! Industry awards! Saw everyone soar into careers right outta school... Took more than a decade to get them even to LOOK at me, despite my skills. Could never catch up, and the casual racism, the covert low-level but neverending abuse from Kens and Karens and Phil Ochs liberals who SWORE they were "friends" until I told the truth, the constant condescension from those who could not hide their assumption that I simply HAD to be inferior and anything I did well was SUCH a surprise, and people like YOU whose mission apparently was and is to keep me controlled and talking up the party line... Ended up where I am, working independently and in poverty, voting Green, doing my part to wake up an evil country, and having to endure people like you who make me wish I were dead. How DARE I vote for what I need as opposed to what upholds a system that is KILLING ME??? Killing my community??? Privileged??? Eff off.

Character matters. So does living one's principles. Integrity is not a privilege; it is a mandate. If you had values, you would understand.

If I were privileged, I would not have been born. Fuck you.

3. West loves EVERYBODY. Like Jesus. Doesn't mean he supports Desantis' evil politricks or policies, and your conflation of the two renders YOU suspect.

4. And you would be in the category of ENSLAVER, given your attempts to bully me into obeying you and your party. I am not a Democrat, Lucy. Deal with it. Go play with someone on your team or is willing to endure the hell that accompanies being an actual Leftist in a capitalist-centrist-whitesupremacist party such as yours. You are not an ally. The GOP is not an ally. You both, and your system, are evil. A lesser evil remains evil. I do not deal with evil. Why do you want me to do evil? You want me to share in your complicity? No.

5. Go in peace. And leave me the fuck alone, you abusive, cowardly, conformist, #centrist #whitesupremacy enabler.
