64 years ago on this day in 1960, 6-year old Ruby Bridges walked into the William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, escorted by 4 federal marshals and made history by becoming the first African-American child to attend an all-white elementary school in the South.

Her courage and poise paved the way for the fight for Civil Rights and Justice.

This is probably a good time to remind people of a few helpful things:

1) Please use hashtags like
#USPol
#USPolitics
so people can filter posts appropriately, especially those who are coming to the Fediverse for some kind of escape or relief. (Also proper capitalization is more readable by a screen reader.)

2) For newer people, please don't put an asterisk in words (e.g., Tr*mp) because then people's filters won't filter out the post.

3) We can also be using the Content Warning (CW) feature more as well, to give people warnings on triggering topics. (Newer members: that's one of the options when you create a post. You can put a descriptive line of your post and then people can choose to open your post or not.)

I know I could use some improvement on that end as well and I'll work on that.

4) If you are on the receiving end, please know that you can also add filters for words in your settings, even creating an entire "Politics" grouping of words that will either hide posts or completely leave them off your timeline, whichever you prefer.

Thank you all for considering my request.


If the worst does not actually come to pass, I don't think I'm going to be sitting here going "oh noooo I can't believe I strengthened my communities, made sure I'm up to date on my healthcare needs, and volunteered for causes I believe in"

Sometimes the forecasted storms uneventfully pass by, in which case you're left with a little extra food on hand, some jugs of water for the next storm, and some cozy blankets to snuggle up in.

Anyway, this has been a message to those choosing to mock people who are taking steps to prepare for a Trump presidency. 2/3

My whole life, I've lived in New England: the land of blizzards and ice storms. When there's a storm on the forecast, we prepare. Stock up on bottled water and nonperishables, refill prescriptions that are running low, charge the flashlights and electronic devices, have a stack of blankets on hand, make sure there's fuel in the car and (if you're lucky) generator, restack the indoor wood pile. 1/3

If Grandpa had had the stones to actually enforce his "red lines", the Dems would have won the election.
Fact.

How is the media responding to Matt Gaetz being nominated for Atty. Gen.? Here are three actual, verbatim headlines from today's New York Times:

Five masked White supremacists waving Nazi flags demonstrated outside of a production of the play “The Diary of Anne Frank” this weekend.

It was the third Nazi demonstration in Livingston County, Michigan.

“There were Nazis in downtown Fowlerville tonight,” he said. “When I asked what they were doing in Fowlerville, they insisted this town is now ‘Pureville’ and that they were here to keep it that way. ‘You look Jewish,’ one of them yelled, so I corrected him. I’m actually Hispanic. One of the Nazis then shouted, ‘SO GO BACK TO MEXICO.’ I let them know that I actually grew up just down the road and they responded all at once, showering me with insults.”

The role of the #Gaza genocide in Kamala #Harris’s loss

The cause of #KamalaHarris’ disastrous failure in the 2024 presidential election will forever be debated, but there are good reasons to believe the Israeli genocide in Gaza played a significant role.

Trmp may/probably will cause U.S. allies to become stronger militarily & economically through economic alliances outside the U.S., so ironically he will weaken U.S. overall influence on the world stage
That's if he's successful

The biggest take-away from the US election:

The fourth estate is dead. Without a free press, democracy cannot exist.

EDIT: Not only do we not have a free press, we have a propaganda press.

"He founded the US-based charity One Israel Fund, which provides security equipment and financial assistance to settlements (in the West Bank)."

"With the assistance of big corporate donors, Democrats out-fundraised their opponent by huge margins. After Biden’s victory four years ago, they also had a readymade template for how to defeat him — preaching ambitious social policies and activist government — but bafflingly opted to pursue a rerun of Clinton’s disastrous strategy instead."

#NYT Gives ‘Whining’ Megadonors a Platform to Push Harris Against Taxing the Rich

”I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you that Wall Street billionaires and Silicon Valley tech bros are trying to convince a presidential candidate to abandon her commitment to tax them, and using their own alleged brilliance to justify it,” said Morris Pearl, the chair of the Patriotic Millionaires. “I admire their chutzpah in claiming that taxing unrealized capital gains will stifle innovation!”

“Claiming that making a billionaire pay taxes on their second billion will reduce innovation is as absurd as the rooster claiming the sun won’t rise without his crowing,” Pearl added. “The billionaires I know were all highly motivated to earn their first billion. The only thing at stake here is the remarkably fragile egos of billionaires who are on the verge of realizing they might not be saving civilization for anyone, including themselves.”

American liberals will tell you people just hate women. Maybe they hate doing genocide and sending Clinton to tell Arabs they deserve to die

"Arab American anger over Biden's support for Israel's wars in Gaza and Lebanon manifested in Michigan..."

I got some bad news for you folks: Prepare for a bloodbath in the Middle East.
