What trickster Carney was saying essentially is : now that the masks are off, boys and girls, we have to cover our asses. The middle-sized guys have to be the Big Guys now. Not to mention that he used the green grocer

and the sign in the window from Václav Havel’s Essay, The Power of the Powerless (the title says it all) out of context for his own purposes.

Always about covering their asses--never about doing the right thing by the majority of the people on the planet. I feel like kicking quite a few of these tricksters hard on their backsides.

Ya, the link between the genocide in Palestine and ICE on the streets is real. It's time we all did everything to change the system for the better. Out of control murder and destruction is not on.

No, it's not "on". It should be switched "off" forever!

January 30 is the next general strike planned. It should go nationwide. Plan a protest march or demo in your town and join the heroes of Minneapolis! ✊❤️🇵🇸

Everyone in the US should SHUT IT DOWN this Friday! Let the oligarchy know how we really feel! #GeneralStrike #AbolishICE

Yes indeed, there have been many commentaries invoking the "chickens coming home to roost theme" since Alex's murder, and rightfully so. Invest in murder of innocents worldwide, as the US has always done, and your society comes to treat it as standard fare. So why the surprise when it's now in your face domestically? As a friend reminded me yesterday, Malcolm X jabbed us with this realization back in 1963, after JFK's assassination. They criticized Malcolm for insensitivity, which was actually prescience about an unhinged society.

The more I read about Malcolm X, the more I truly think he was a prophet. The "chickens" of ICE coming home to roost need to be plucked and boiled!

Malcolm was indeed prophetic. And the cowardice involved in shooting a subdued man in the back repeatedly is so sickening.

It's saying the group was closed down due to porn posts... ICE is playing dirty.

"....To be the primary financier of a huge ethnic cleansing operation in order to profit from the land/resources grab puts Trump in the top spot, in my humble opinion....."

All of this follows in the footsteps of entities such as the Congo Free State, he Niger Company, , the East India Company, The Dutch East India Company, Firestones slavery-driven "concessions" in LIberia, and many others. Colonialsm was always a capitalist enterprise, and primarily for the enrichment of a tiny few ultrawealthy people.

The saying that "History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes" is very true. The billionaires will always try to rid themselves of us lowly workers who don't do their bidding without talking back. It's time to end that cycle of abuse NOW. #GeneralStrike #AbolishICE
