I’m stupefied by the suburban ladies, and men, on neighborhood chat groups who seem to accept that genocide pales into oblivion compared to a hapless person of color who might stray into a white neighborhood. Horrors! Didn’t you call the police?!?
Or
Too many panhandlers are taking metro to our side of the tracks where immaculate McMansions sing songs of crapitalist praise. Police must chase them away.
And usa constitution can go fly a kite!

I’m sick of complacency and shallow obsession with toilet paper and AstroTurf.

Reminds me of those nazi women who lived next door to ovens burning thousands of skeletal bodies and pretending it wasn’t happening. A grim faced Eisenhower oversaw the exercise of having them walked into concentration camps.

Perhaps one day we can fly out C 130s full of Americans to Gaza and have them walk in the carnage caused by our tax $$$s. Smell of burnt and decayed bodies might awaken olfactory systems and moral compasses.

I live in a beautiful expanse called America full of neo Nasties.

Yeah, it had to be said. Medium is freer with free speech than rags like New York Times etc.

And yes, l must get my hands on the book!

Be well. 🙏🏽💃🏻
