Shaken, not stirred!
1. Leonard Peltier - it's almost become a generational grudge against this man, who was convicted in a dubious "trial" for the murder of 2 FBI agents when during the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation shoot out in 1975. He's been in prison since then, recently denied parole for another 15 years (he's now 80 and in compromised health). He's NEVER been given a retrial, despite two other former members of AIM (American Indian Movement) originally convicted with him for the same crime being released YEATRS ago. Peltier has maintained his innocence, and the "evidence" used to convict him is NOT beyond reasonable doubt. No President regardless of political party has had the cojones to pardon him. Well, the "establishment" couldn't beat Castro (old colonialist mentality thwarted), but they sure as hell won't let a "redskin" in their own country 
rolleyes beat them! Pathetic.
2. I'd like to meet the genius(es) who came up with the slogan "Defund the Police" and put my foot square in their ass (es). ALL they had to do was make a slogan that clearly reflects the true intent of the "movement", which is "DEMILITARIZE THE POLICE", and they would have been bulletproof against all the MAGA blather against them. Nope, they thought they were being "hip" and "clever" and "provocative" in giving their opposition an open-end talking point primed for interpretation. Thus, little to no real traction ... just a lot of "explaining" and "complaining". Idiots!
3. I would like for some MSM "journalist" to not let the MAGA/Christo-fascist flunkies (congressional or civilian) and have them explain the "logic" of advocating against the gov't suppression of freedom of speech and interfering with their daily life choices while simultaneously jumping for joy over Roe v. Wade being repealed. They wail about "states' rights" vs. federal laws yet have no problem with STATE GOV'T FORCING A WOMAN TO BRING A PREGNANCY TO TERM REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES. Nor are they opposed to STATE government telling doctors that they'll lose their licenses or go to jail for performing an abortion under ANY circumstance or tracking and jailing individuals for leaving the state to get an abortion in another state. That these numbskulls cannot see the glaring hypocrisy is beyond me outside of sheer stubborn pride and willful ignorance.
4. WAKE THE FUCK UP LIBERALS/PROGRESSIVES/DEMOCRATS (and even some libertarians)! The current version of the GOP is playing dodge ball, NOT chess. There is no "civility" from people whose "base" mutters about civil war if they don't get their way. You have a choice: either capitulate, move out of their way or stand and say "that's as far as you go". That means calling nazi & fascist rhetoric out for what it is! That is not "losing the debate/argument" that is calling a spade a spade. And if people object, EXPLAIN THE HISTORICAL REFERENCES that back your statement. If that means losing friends and family members, or stature in your community, THEN SO BE IT.
That's all I can come up with for now. More to follow as the days go by.
