I learned something tonight:

the sound effects from the movie Cast Away sound a lot like the video game Minecraft. #tomhanks #gamer #minecraft #castaway

House GOP moves to rename Kennedy Center Opera House after Melania Trump The Kennedy Center’s famed opera house could be renamed to honor Melania Trump, if House Republicans have their way. House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee approved an amendment to…

This is where the Dems will definitely draw the line. Expect an alternative name suggestion to be in the headlines soon. I imagine something like "Immigrant Melania Trump Center." That'll show em!

If Smoke had said "come on in!" Out of anger for his brother being killed, before Grace did, would we be as critical of him as some folks are of her for trying to protect her daughter? Why or why not? #sinners #grace

Ever wonder how the US went from 26 million in the streets supporting BLM to blatant anti-Black, anti-DEI, anti-immigrant, blatant fascism?

Happy freedom day!

I appreciate the exchange

I hear you. I asked a lot of questions:

I think representative democracy is insufficient. That the US demonstrates no effort at achieving full participation or true democracy reveals the systemic privileges of elites. Under the system of neo-colonialism/global capitalism there is true democracy

Thanks for your comment. Does that mean that representative democracy is sufficient? And we should fight to uphold some semblance of that practice in the future? And what do you make of the reality that fewer than 65% of people voted in those elections?

You make a valid point! And Empathy matters. That said, I have another question: Can democracy have empathy AND capitalism?

Has the US ever had democracy? Should people pursue it? What would be necessary to achieve it?

What collective responsibility do people have for categories of oppression that do not directly affect them? And how do they assume that responsibility if deference politics insists that only those people most directly affected can research or speak to the oppression? #olufemitaiwo #elitecapture
