Doar and I fucking wish that the U.S. would wake up to the fact that you are headed down the path of facism if you keep that clown in office. Starting to despair up here in Canada. . 200604 ... unhinged this country has been moderately fascist for at least a decade now. this is not the first time cops have cracked the heads of peaceful protestors. yes, trump is more overtly fascist but obama put humans in cages too. obama also made sure that joe biden, an architect of our totally fucked oligarchy, is the guy to run against trump. this election is going to see record numbers of people staying home or trump could keep using the military against protestors and piss enough people off to elect biden things are so volatile in this shithole country that it is VERY hard to say what will happen five, six months from now 200604 ... nr defund the police 200604 ... unhinged in the city of seattle the city budget for 2020 is approximately $400 million for SPD $200 million for health and human services $100 million for education the democrat mayor wants to sink over $150 million into a new police precinct in my neighborhood that activists have already beat back once. more on one building then she spends on educating ALL the children of this city. and we wonder why people are rioting and looting right now 200605 ... nr it’s more peaceful over here, but still, wtf: “In Toronto, the police service is the single-biggest line item in the city's $13.5-billion operating budget.

Shelters and housing take up about $150 while about $60 goes to paramedic services. Over the past several years, the police budget has risen past the $1-billion mark. It first hit that mark in 2015, with Mayor John Tory saying at the time, "We can't afford to keep the cost going up." 200606 ... unhinged people keep quoting mlk and fighting about it 'a riot is the voice of the unheard' what_a_paradox i remember learning about the civil rights era as a child: never learned that one. but i do remember thinking 'thank goodness that happened. now it's all better.' now i feel the howl and rage of frustration build in my heart because being best friends with a black man for twenty years i know that it's not fifty years after they assassinated him things basically the same underneath the veneer of civility the white moderates still prefer the tranquility of the status quo and the capitalist exploitation and imperialism to justice FOR ALL this country is a fraud a sham a failure what_a_paradox that as i watch her die and my heart breaks i feel more patriotic than i ever have before i understand the soldiers that volunteer for war this may never have been the land of the free but as i watch lines of unarmed people stand up to militarized police to be beaten and shot to demand the rights we all recited as children i know we are still brave fight the power fuck the police 200608 ... Doar Thanks Unhinged for setting me straight. I've been watching what's happening very closely, sometimes too closely according to Rhin. I sincerely hope that you get rid of orange hair clown man.
