Our united front must be broad and inclusive of those who understand the mission. There’s a quote that I’ve been thinking a lot about when I look at the U.S. Left’s response to the destruction by the trump-musk duo: “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”.
The convicted felon in the White House and his non-elected oligarch have opened wide the floodgates to influence elections by corporate sector dollars. We can see it happening at all levels of government. It is a neon warning sign that this country is treading dangerous waters on the way to Making America White Again. Tens of millions are flowing into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
Even before Mayor Tishaura Jones was sworn in as the first African American female mayor, the murmurs of the curse started to swirl. Would she break the curse or fall victim to it? We will find out soon enough.

The news that trump was revoking the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Haitians living in the United States came as no surprise. Haitians were targeted during his re-election campaign, specifically the Haitian community of Springfield, OH. They were made Public Enemy #1 when trump claimed these proud, hard-working immigrant communities were eating the cats and dogs of their neighbors.
The U.S. working class has been conditioned over the years to believe it has no individual power, and therefore it can never have collective power. This false narrative has had a negative impact on our approach to resistance.
This is what ethnic cleansing looks like. This is a vivid example of how a dictator takes a ludicrous accusation and twists it into a dangerous policy.
