2. The abuse is accelerating

As this administration crumbles their desperation is causing them to move faster and faster.

We need a general strike to yank them up short. Only that will cause the money bros to reconsider their unwavering support for this madness.

These people are not people but monsters in human form.

I’m as guilty as anyone in not really doing anything to fight this. I keep moving through my comfortable life desperately hoping that things will return to normal. But the truth is that this is normal. The late 70’s thru the early 90’s were historically a golden age.

But racism never went away. Misogyny never went away. Hatred never goes out of style in this country.

In the late 60’s and early 70’s I was deeply ashamed of my country. Then we almost lived up to our hype about being the land of the free.

The shame has returned.
