“We have been too quiet for too long. There comes a time when you have to say something. You have to make a little noise. You have to move your feet. This is the time.” — John Lewis (1940-2020)

“In 2001, manifestations of anti-Muslim bigotry were roundly condemned by officeholders across the political spectrum, including Republican leaders—starting with President George W. Bush. “In the years since then, though, anti-Muslim rhetoric has become a right-wing shibboleth.”

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Back then, Bush and Giuliani were right when they affirmed that American Muslims are simply fellow Americans—and today’s Trump-radicalized GOP is wrong. It’s as simple as that.

Shit’s too expensive, and America’s CEOs gave themselves a huge raise and now make 312x what workers do. Working people built this country, it’s time that we had an economy that works for us, not just CEOs and billionaires. Our Executive Paywatch report: aflcio.org/paywatch

In the words of scientist and author Carl Sagan: “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: if we’ve been bamboozled long enough we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding the truth. The bamboozle has captured us.”

I have been attempting to organize a non- political, no signs, candlelight vigil for all who have died needlessly since Trump took office. On the streets in America. In Africa. In a school in Iran. In defense of our country in inadequate shelter. Fishermen without due process. So many.

Greenland again. Do not touch, or buy, anything that Lauder produces or has purchased. He’s one of the Greenland whisperers. A total crash in Estée Lauder sales would show how we feel. It isn’t easy. Lauder has bought many brands. But you can do it!!!

Happy Fourth of July. We were established to form a more perfect union, and we are still a work in progress. The US has accomplished much; despite temporary and unpopular backsliding along the way, I believe in our collective and determined ability to right the ship of state. 250 years and onward!
