Americans are disconnected from the real carnage these weapons of war produce. Back in 1955, young Black people like 14-year-old Emmett Till were routinely murdered by white people all over America, usually with no consequence whatsoever. Emmett Till was kidnapped by two white Mississippi men, brutally tortured, murdered and his mangled body was thrown into the Tallahatchie River. (And the white men who did it, and the white woman who set it off with a lie, never suffered any consequence.)

Biden and Congress must unpack our courts and free women and working people. The American Taliban is having its moment, and billionaire groups are riding its energy toward larger and larger profits and control of government. In the process, it’s all showing how dark-money right-wing groups have corrupted our Courts. On CNN this past weekend, Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson told Dana Bash that the main reason he signed an anti-abortion law that would put women in prison for getting abortions, even if they were the victims of rape or incest, was because he wanted it to go to the Supreme Court.

And we may have no protection. Probably the most under-reported story of the week, and perhaps of the year, was a comment that Dr. Anthony Fauci made in response to harassment from Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul.

They have a satanic logo and openly celebrate racism & death. A new study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine has found that while the first cases of Covid appeared in states with Democratic governors (New York, New Jersey, Washington), states with Republican governors have had a whole lot more death over the full course of this pandemic. The study confirms common sense. When GOP governors defy simple, common-sense rules like wearing masks or avoiding dense crowds, pretty much the only logical conclusion one can draw is that they’re trying to “thin out the herd” in their state, killing off those expensive Social Security/Medicare users and the state’s “less productive” disabled, diabetic or obese people.
