1 "...This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will..." Frederick Douglass, Social Reformer + Abolitionist.
2. He wrote this in the 1850s. There was a time when "radical abolitionists", under the motto "No Union with Slaveholders", criticized his willingness to engage in dialogue with slave owners, his response was "...I'd unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong."
3. In 1885, European Powers met in Berlin for the Partition of Afrika into workable units to exploit and expand their their industries, dump their waste, steal resources for their all round growth done by forced Labour where EXTREME indentured servitude bordering Slavery reigned.
1. When the west says Afrika is the future, Afrikans MUST understand that they're not saying what WE think they are saying.

Recorded this on July 31st. I made it to introduce myself to new followers and also give a brief overview of why I joined twitter, what I do for #TheResistance, and to encourage you all to stay hopeful and vote. I don’t know if I ever posted it but since it aged well, ENJOY.

You can measure the effectiveness of resistance by the fury of the response by ruling elites.

Accusing Holy Land Foundation Five of “funding terrorism” required a great deal of creativity but also a collaboration between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government.

The biggest con that Trump is currently perpetrating and frankly the only one that has any prayer at keeping him in office is him convincing you that he’s already got this win sown up with cheating and your vote doesn’t matter. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
Trump is a mass murderer. Here’s who I am and what I do for #TheResistance. And your vote matters, part 2:

the incident had happened to protest almost immediately.
As the crowd grew, angry protesters shouted slogans; some business owners, fearing property damage, shut their doors. The local authorities called for uniformed backup; backup came, well-armed.

Any political endorsement from from me is not easy to get and must be earned. Those that know me well that in the upcoming 2020 Presidential Election my original endorsement was:
#AnyoneButTrump2020
I am firm believer everyone has right to their own opinion, how they choose to
#AnyoneButTrump2020
I am firm believer everyone has right to their own opinion, how they choose to
live their life is their business, not my place or role to judge other choices, and I am not always right needing seeking to understand. Regarding supporting Trump I just do NOT UNDERSTAND. I have some good friends that really respect and believe are so smart that are on the
Trump Bandwagon. Thru all my questions and conversations I have come to conclusion they do not support Trump as a President it is more about the message, things they believe need to change, and ideals of the conservative party. I may not agree, but at least I can at least

You don't want to act, or even talk, alone; you don't want to 'go out of your way to make trouble.' Why not?-Well, you are not in the habit of doing it. And it is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.

Uncertainty is a very important factor, and, instead of decreasing as time goes on, it grows. Outside, in the streets, in the general community, 'everyone' is happy. One hears no protest, and certainly sees none.

In response to @kyledcheney this AM: Headline from @nytimes: “Judiciary Committee Report Offers Legal Rationale for Impeachment Case” nytimes.com/2019/12/07/us/…. That’s what it is. The majority’s legal rationale, its explanation...the case it can make.
Much in the report is unobjectionable and indeed what I have taught about impeachment almost every year for the past 25, e.g. “As Justice Robert Jackson wisely observed, ‘the purpose of the Constitution was not only to grant power, but to keep it from getting out of hand.’”
I am all for legislators and especially members of the media to reacquaint themselves with Founders’ intent. It’s good to see. We need more judges so inclined. We are getting them in great numbers from @realDonaldTrump and @senatemajldr.
Great crowd in San Jose/Fremont last night for @860amtheanswer event (my San Francisco affiliate.) Like last week’s gathering w/ Tampa Bay’s @am860TheAnswer audience —when big affilatesbon opposite coasts have same signal it gets a little confusing— these audiences very smart. 1
Over eight days, sitting alongside @radiotalkermike @SebGorka @DennisPrager, we heard from almost 2000 people —who are paying to attend, not wandering in off street— what concerns them heading into 2020. Of course it is self-selected, but overwhelmingly pro-@realDonaldTrump. 2
And not just pro-@POTUS, incredibly informed re #Ukraine #Russiagate, federal judicial appointments, military spending, deregulation. Very alarmed by D’s hard left turn. Alternatively laughing at @AdamSchiff and outraged at abuse of impeachment. In other words, not the Beltway 3
How Did Democrats Get Here? bit.ly/2CFqtwN
Democrats have become the party of thuggery, from the top leaders abusing President Trump as a traitor and criminal, to the Antifa black shirts beating up Trump supporters in Democrat cities.
The Democrats’ motivation for the fake impeachment crisis is obvious—they have no platform and no candidate that gives them a path to the White House.

1) Fellow citizens I need your help. Today on Colorado Public Radio, a man named Andy Williams who owns "Medicine Man", a recreational marijuana business in the greater Denver metro has threatened to back Republican Senator Cory Gardner if the Democrats nominate former governor..
2)...John Hickenlooper because the Governor struggled early on with his position on recreational marijuana. If that is Mr. Williams sole consideration for supporting Mr. Gardner who has voted with Trump, the Koch Brothers and is one of the largest recipients of NRA money...
3)...then I will ask all of you to help me mount an economic boycott of Mr. Williams' business. Governor Hickenlooper and/or any other Democrat will be a better Senator than Cory Gardner. I have given Mr. Williams until Monday noon to respond. It amazes me that Mr. Williams...

Today, the Proud Boys have organized an 'End Domestic Terrorism' rally in Portland in which it appears they're gearing up to replicate Charlottesville. PLEASE stay away from this, it's NOT what #TheResistance is about! #SaturdayThoughts usatoday.com/story/news/nat…
If you're looking for a way to meaningfully protest today, skip the Portland/Proud Boys mess and find a @MomsDemand Recess Rally against Gun Violence today instead. Here's the link for locations of that purposeful action. #SaturdayMotivation

Trump has (of course) weighed in on the Portland rally to be held by Alt-Right & Neo-Nazi groups, including Proud Boys. In fact, he appears to be concerned @ the Antifa group disrupting them, & has threatened to designate Antifa an "Organization of Terror' thedailybeast.com/trump-suggests…

#TheResistance, once again, had pinned its hopes on a flawed actor not up to the task. Just like the conquerors who came before him—Stormy Daniels, Michael Avenatti, Michael Cohen just to name a few—Mueller slouched out of the spotlight after failing to best the Bad Orange Man.

Thurs show will be on collapse of #TheResistance fantasy of impeachment brought about by today’s hearing. @realDonaldTrump now has opportunity to put it all to bed by simply repeating “No conspiracy, no collusion, no obstruction,” which is what majority of public has concluded.
If Dems (or any broadcast/print/social media outlet) continue to try and resurrect this fantasy, they’ll suffer terribly at polls or in ratings. The sad fiasco of today was that the Dems obliged SC Mueller to testify and results were awful for him. Ds will spin but no use.
The warning @SpeakerPelosi tried to give her back benchers and publicity-addicted chairmen went unheeded and @realDonaldTrump emerged not merely unscathed but stronger for today’s theatrics. #TheResistance may not know it, but it’s bleeding out on the impeachment fantasy.

How unhinged is left? 6K+ comments on my column noting @realDonaldTrump/@VP/@SecPompeo agreement with Mexico. The prospect of a @POTUS win unnerves #TheResistance, so they seize on a headline that doesn’t reflect the actual story —which notes significant new commitments.
Throw in the standard “He created a crisis and then solved it” and presto, another “narrative” for the left to amuse themselves with. If it wasn’t a major shift from Mexico, there won’t be changes. But if the crisis abates it will be b/c of @realDonaldTrump tariff threat.
#TheResistance has talked itself into cheering the prospect of an ongoing border crisis. This commits the Ds to a radical position on the border similar to the radical position on health care. The party has been driven over the edge by its extreme online fringe (+ Mueller fiasco)
