Reject the X

     So, Trump gave a speech at Mount Rushmore. Famous or more like infamous figures desecrate sacred land. The four presidents were put up without a thought by men who do not recognize sacred because for one reason or another they have abandoned their natural birth right of divinity.
White people are getting more and more desperate because they are losing power. America is becoming Brown. Latino people are already the "minority majority" in Texas and will soon be that way in California and then move into Arizona and slowly make our way across America and there is nothing that can stop us.
     We are in essence Native people. We are Original people. We predate their "Holy Book" by thousands and thousands of years. We do not appear in that book no matter what others will say. When we were discovered (Ain't that about stupid?) we shook up the world. Nothing like us had been seen before and there was no explanation for us. White men like those devils that desecrate sacred land in the Black Hills of South Dakota where the demon, a minor demon at that, named Trump threw his brand of White superiority. The four demons that scar Mount Rushmore are unique in their evil.
Thomas Jefferson raped child slaves, Washington had teeth made from the teeth of slaves, Roosevelt said, "The only good Indian is a dead Indian" and of course that "Great Emancipator" who did not believe Blacks were equal to Whites. He believed they were 3/5th human and he hung 38 Dakotas on Christmas day.
     As Trump puts us into concentration camps, that Obama and Biden had built, it means nothing to him the suffering of the people because like the four on the mountain he does not consider us full humans. He does not recognize the divinity of us. The least little animal is divine because it is a reflection of The Creator just like we are except so many of us forgot or do not believe we are divine and how is that? Lack of knowledge of self is just one reason. We quickly forget whose we are instead if who we are. White media uses the narrative of violence, criminality and vice to describe us. Right now it is fashionable for White liberals and even some White extremists (What I call Republicans for obvious reasons.) to pay respect to Black Lives Matter. It will not last. The respect given has a timer on it and when that timer is up Whites will look up and begin to try to reassert their power and it will come at the cost of Black and Brown bodies.
     Conservatives are not and have never been a friend to progress or progressive people like MLK or Malcolm X or Cesar Chavez or John Trudell or, doesn't matter I can go on and on. They are up front with their hypocrisy and White Rage. It is the White liberal who attempts to be your friend and is exactly like the conservative. They come into our community  and begin to push their agenda, they want power like conservatives, They are just another White group jockeying for position and control. They try to change our vocabulary and hide it behind "tolerance" they want us Latinos to refer to ourselves as Latinx. Let's look at that closer.
     It is well known that to speak to the universe is to invoke power, it is to bring into existence what we desire. That's why we pray. It is our attempt to bring into existence what we desire. God not being a bell hop we often do not get what we pray for yet when we pray prayers of thanks then we find ourselves getting more things, more resolve to be a better person. Sorry I digressed but I wanted to make that point because there is power in what you speak and think. If you asked Malcolm X why he used an X as his last name he would readily tell you that X in mathematical terms, mathematics being the key to the universe - everything is set up exactly using math, it stands for the unknown. Straight to hell with these hippies/liberals and their word policing. They will tell you that they use the X to include trans people in our community which shows they know nothing of our community. They don't know the difference between a two spirit person and a homosexual and a trans person. They know nothing of us yet want to X us out of existence. It is not about inclusion it is about separating. I refuse to use it because one it is a White liberal idea, two it sounds dumb as shit, three no one asked anyone I know if Latinx was an appropriate as a replacement for Latino. I am a proud Latino and make no excuses for continuing to use Latino. If a Latin trans person presents as a woman then that is a Latina. If the person presents as a male then that person is a Latino and I have no right to deny them what they are. To be able to see past gender and recognize the creation as a divine representative of The Creator in all of his distressing and heavenly disguises.
     It is July 4th as I write this, ready to turn to the 5th and I can't help but think, with the riots and protests going on. With Whites refusing to acknowledge there is a pandemic, to deny that Black Lives are not counted or respected, that there are children in cages who may never see their parents again, (Once more I would like to give credit to Barry Obama for deporting 3 million people while building the concentration camps being used against us now) I.C.E. roams our streets striking fear into an already downtrodden people who against all odds have survived. White people need to be grateful to their false god that we are seeking justice, not equality because who are they to be equal to?, but justice and not revenge.
     Reject the X. Disregard White liberal thinking wether it comes from similar skin or not. They are just one more group of Whites seeking to maintain control and one of the ways they do it is by control of your language. Reject that X and treat your people, gay straight or whatever with love, compassion and tolerance. We don't need their assistance in what we do in our community.

Extremists exposed

             Every political season I lose friends. I just box them and put them away. I am not friends with the traitors and racists in this nation that call themselves Republicans. I call them extremists. It's what they are. I've been particullary brutal to Democrats because unlike Extremists they actually try to pretend to be for the working people. When they sell out like Bernie Sanders or The Squad did when they voted for The CARES Act which was the largest transfer of wealth to the 1% in the history of the world.
There was a man on facebook who tried to coax me into an argument about the left. I am the radical left as in I want free healthcare, debt forgiveness, a UBI, a livable wage, and a end to the war economy. He tried to tell me that tearing down of monuments is erasing history. A monument is a sign to remember and an honor. Hitler doesn't deserve a monument and we can remember that evil bastard by teaching about him. Writing books and making movies of his evil. We can do the same with Columbus/ I decided to add what John Boyd wrote to give better context:
John Boyd: The same people who enslaved the blacks and fought to keep them enslaved are the same people who set the native people on that forced march. They are the same people who gave us the KKK, Jim Crow and fought against civil rights. They used the law to keep blacks and native people in separate neighborhoods and schools. When laws were overturned so they could not do this any more, they got a law passed that would allow them to kill the native and black children in the womb. These same people. I don’t know why you vote for them.
I asked facioutsly who he was speaking of:
John Boyd: look it up. Study your history. THESE SAME PEOPLE do not want you to know this. They are working very hard right now to rewrite history so that you will not know them as THESE SAME PEOPLE. Why do you think they are pulling all those statues down? They do not believe we are created equal. They believe that some people are more equal than others. They are trying to enforce their idea about civilization on us just like they did with the native peoples. But it is and always was worse than that. THESE PEOPLE continue to use and exploit other people to their advantage snd benefit. You see it in their platform and the laws they make to benefit themselves and their constituency and not all Americans. THESE PEOPLE have always operated this way and have not changed despite their efforts to convince you otherwise.
Orange Jesus HATES natives:
1. Proposing to Rollback the National Environmental Policy Act
Tribal historic preservation officer of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Ben Rhodd argued that the possible changes are a “direct effrontery to the sovereignty of Native
Americans” as no tribes were consulted.
2. Pushing for Arctic Refuge Drilling. The Trump administration has pushed to sell off the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for drilling. Which will harm the cultural way of life of the Gwich’in (Stop The Genocide of First Nations People)
3. I have so much more, pay close attention Sparky you might just learn something. Promoting a Racist Zero Tolerance Immigration Policy
Since December 2018, at least five Maya children have died at the U.S.-Mexico border died under the custody of Customs and Border Protection, and one Maya young woman,Claudia Patricia Gómez González, was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent.
As a side note did you know 40% of cops beat their wives? Such brave men they are.
4. Building the Border Wall
In February of this year, ( The same month that Orange Jesus said that coronavirus was a Democrat Hoax - I'm thinking close to ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO THOUSAND dead Americans prove it's not a hoax but your pastor tells you it's all lies. Like them Hebrew fairy tales he also tells you.) crews began controlled blasting of Monument Hill in the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument for the construction of the border wall between the US and Mexico. This area is the site of a sacred burial ground to the Tohono O’odham Nation. Sacred means nothing to you "people"
5. Failing to Legislate & Attacks on Land Trusts. Orange Jesus mostly bankrupts his real estate actions so he is familiar with Land Trusts.
6. In 2018, the Department of Interior, under the Trump administration, took Mashpee Wampanoag land in Massachusetts out of trust. This marks the first time Native land has been taken out of trust since the “termination era” of the 1940s-1960s in which the US government intentionally attempted to assimilate Native Americans into the broader culture. (The govt stole Indian children and fostered them to White famalies. Kill the Indian save the man.) He is attempting to eliminate the Wamponoag.
7. Greenlighting Pipelines Across Native Treaty Lands. On February 7, 2017, Trump authorized the Army Corps of Engineers to proceed, ending the environmental impact assessment and the associated public comment period. These pipelines are a direct attack on tribal sovereignty, clean water, clean air, and sacred sites. Once more, you and Orange Jesus know nothing of the sacred.
8. Cutting Federal Programs. Trump has proposed the removal of several federal assistance programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Trump has proposed to replace SNAP, which provides monthly benefits to purchase food items, with a “food box” program. This program would “replace half the benefits people receive with boxed, nonperishable — i.e. not fresh — foods chosen by the government and not by the people eating them.” This reminds me of when the Bureau of Indian Affairs would send flour that was infested to reservations. I guess if it works it works right?
9. My favorite that shows who the real racists, like you and Orange Jesus, Encouraging Mocking of Native People and Use of Hateful Language In early 2019, Indigenous Peoples mobilized a massive Indigenous Peoples March on Washington to demonstrate opposition to the current political climate. At the march, a group of high school students from Covington Catholic High School mocked a Native elder of the Omaha Tribe, Nathan Philips, who was partaking in the Indigenous Peoples March in DC. Trump defended the students’ actions and claiming that the disrespect felt by Philips was "Fake News."

Trump also consistently and publically uses hateful language towards Native Americans. He repeatedly uses “Pocahontas” as a slur. Even during a 2017 ceremony honoring Native American veterans, Trump referred to Senator Elizabeth Warren as Pocahontas. The Lakota Law Project tweeted about the incident saying “The President calls a white woman “Pocahontas” - who was a Native American victim of child rape - at an event “honoring” Diné WWII code talkers, all in front a portrait depicting the original architect of Indian removal, Andrew Jackson.” Regarding the portrait of Andrew Jackson, Gyasi Ross, a member of the Blackfeet Nation Tribe, said “It’s an incredibly distasteful wink in front of people who have sacrificed so much.”

Couldn't stop at nine. He said in 2019 when Elizabeth Warren announced she was running for president. Orange Jesus tweeted “Today Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to by me as Pocahontas, joined the race for president. Will she run as our first Native American presidential candidate, or has she decided that after 32 years, this is not playing so well anymore? See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!” The word ‘trail’, capitalized, invokes the Trail of Tears when Native Americans were forcibly removed from their land. The Trail of Tears led to thousands of deaths.
I had family members who walked the Trail of Tears. MY blood relations died on that trail. MY relatives survived and against everything you Christians threw at us we thrived.
Tearing down monuments is not "re-writing history" it is making it right. There are no monuments to Hitler why should there be monuments to slave owners? A Monument is a symbol of respect and honor. Does Columbus who was responsible for the elimination of the Arawak people and the artichect of the Atlantic Slave Route deserving in your eyes? Would your Sky Daddy approve? I asked him and he said no.
You really don't want to do this with me Sparky. I'm not some drunk dumb-ass Injun who gets pushed around by bullshit and liars like you and Orange Jesus. Pack it sideways son. I'm the wrong one.

Can you hear us yet?

    
     When he was selected, talking about #45, I knew race relations in this nation would blow up. That's why we have so many Becky's and Karen's running around asking for protection from the complexion from their ammosexual husbands.

When I saw that picture it almost ruined my day but I use techniques, (Mindfulness techniques - EVERYBODY- should do it) that kept me cool. I was shaking with anger and as tears filled my eyes I began to wonder. How far are they gonna push the poor and working poor? What will they NOT do because if you can mace a girl then go home, eat, shower, kiss your fat wife and snuggle the dog you're a text book sociopath. I sympathize you have a mental illness, I suffer from depression. However, your mental illness doesn't give you cover to be an asshole. (Looking at you Kanye you idiot)

Pay attention to what's happening in the streets. The majority of protests are peaceful. The riots and looting, in my humble opinion, are started for insurance. The owner doesn't care. The news media talks about Antifa (Anti Facists) are the enemy. No, not those cousin screwing morons who show up at state capitols with assault weapons and a tiny dick, those are the "good" guys as Trump has said.

Pay attention to the fire, chaos, and the hearts breaking. However also pay attention to the anger. White women calling people for shopping, walking, playing, walking into your house, sitting in your house, while being Black and Brown. This nation is littered with Brown and Black bodies and when a person of color begins to learn their people's history they react in one of two ways. Subconciounsly they support and want to assimilate into White culture because they are cowardly and don't know it, or they get to the streets, the organize, they demonstrate and they educate themselves because even at a university no one is told the real story but thank God you can find independent books about the truth. They become angry.

Natives are most abused minority group on America. The government hates us with a white hot passion and always has. But listen to our youth. They use rap music to communicate and all social media. Pay attention, they are angry.

This is an old anger. It has been built up over generations, years and decades. They are angry and like most of us are heartbroken and tired of being crapped on by society and government. This old anger is foundational.

Listen to your neighbors then pay attention to who is listening and who is just waiting for the other person to finish their point so they can hop in with their opinion. They are simply making noise and using red herrings to argue, not the point at hand, but to pivot the conversation into their territory. Ben Shapiro is a master of this. Dave Rubin on the other hand is a bad actor and about as sharp as a feather. It is uncomfortable for White to talk about American hostory, from 1492 until today June 8th, 2020. It's a story not about those brave individuals who won the West. Any psychologist worth a shit will tell you that people who made those moves were outcasts and more than a touch psychotic.

Most Whites hate to acknowledge history. To them America and it's continued abuse of women and people of color is shameful as it should be.

Saying "ALL LIVE MATTER" or my personal favorite, "BLUE LIVES MATTER: which ignores what Black lives matter is saying while also demonstrating the reason BLM became a thing. Being diverted from a discussion by someone who does not and can not understand what happens to us for just being ourselves while being Brown.

If justice is not rendered equally, if education, life style, work and color are things used to "otherize" and a cry for Social Justice is met with derision or silence then civil unrest is the only outcome.

This crisis, it isn’t somebody else’s. It belongs to all of us.If you are serious about wanting peace then you know that peace does not come without justice. Equality is ether. We can be equal to Whites but who are they equal too? No thanks, I'm fine just as I am and don't want equality I want JUSTICE

Chek out what I found that sports "stars", I don;t do sports, too smart to root for people playing playground games as a professional.

“You can’t tell me when that man had his knee on my brother’s neck, taking his life away, with his hand in his pocket, that smirk on his face didn’t say, ‘I’m protected,’ ” Stephen Jackson, retired NBA player and friend of George Floyd.

“A lot of us growing up were taught to pray ‘Let thy kingdom come,’ [and] this is what I continue to pray for, in addition to so many that have been hurt/killed, or simply traumatized by how people of a different color are treated. The worst part is this is nothing new, ‘it’s just filmed,’ ” Serena Williams.

“Am I next?” American tennis phenom Coco Gauff, age 16.

“Fifty-four years ago, I was an 8-year-old boy living in rural Kentucky when the schools were desegregated. I walked into a white school where I was not wanted nor welcomed. At that time there were no cellphones to record my treatment, no cable news stations with 24/7 coverage, no social media to record the reality of the situation or offer support nor condemnation. But I can remember exactly how I felt as an 8-year-old child. I felt helpless. I felt as if I was neither seen, nor heard, nor understood. As I have watched the events unfold in the days following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, a city where I coached and once called home, I see how many people continue to feel those same feelings—helpless, frustrated, invisible, angry…

“Fifty-four years later, my son is now 8-years-old and I look at the world he is growing up in and wonder, how much has really changed?” Dwane Casey, head coach, Detroit Pistons.

“Just because it isn’t happening to you doesn’t mean it isn’t happening at all,” Naomi Osaka, tennis player.

“I feel like sitting back and being quiet, that’s literally going to solve nothing, so at least get a conversation going. Even if you don’t want to do it publicly, that’s fine, that’s not your venue. But at the same time, you can maybe take what I said and talk about it individually. Even if you disagree with me, why do you disagree? That’s fine if you don’t agree, but at the same time, why don’t you think that those viewpoints are valid?” Brianna Turner, WNBA player.

“There are no more cheeks to turn,” Jaylen Brown, NBA player.

“Many people who broadcast their opinions on [Colin Kaepernick] kneeling or on the hiring of minorities [to NFL senior positions] don’t seem to have an opinion on the recent murders of these young black men and women. I think many of them quietly say that watching George Floyd plead for help is one of the more horrible things they have seen, but it’s said amongst themselves where no one can hear. Broadcasting that opinion clearly is not important enough,” Brian Flores, head coach, Miami Dolphins.

“We need people who aren’t black, we need people who aren’t brown. When you know these things are happening in your society…have a voice, a legitimate one, lock and step with us, protest with us, post with us, not just when it’s convenient, when it can be uncomfortable,” Jalen Rose, retired NBA player ESPN analyst.

“The black community needs our help. They have been unheard for far too long. Open your ears, listen, and speak. This isn’t politics. This is human rights,” Joe Burrow, No. 1 pick, 2020 NFL Draft.

“To me, this is bigger than football, and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder,” Colin Kaepernick, August 2016.

“Do you understand now? Or is it still blurred to you?” LeBron James, May 27.

“The bottom line is, if you stay home, your messages stays home with you. If you stand for justice and equality, you have an obligation to find the biggest possible megaphone to let your feelings be known,” John Carlos, 2013, talking to Dave Zirin about a potential Olympic boycott, but a message that thoroughly applies today.

These people much like us are angry.
Trump and the rest of the extremist, that's what I call Republicans and I only call them that is because that's what they are, stoke the flames by Trump calling those ammosexuals who yell at cops, thought "Blue Lives Matter, "good people" he is just encouraging his White nationalist base to resort to violence. It's not working. Those in the suburbs are locked, loaded and afraid. Fear distorts what you see so when a cop sees Brown or Black their view of us is distorted by this fear. Being macho men cops their reaction is violence which is why you see so many Brown and Back prisoners.

Some of us are so angry we are acting out however there are agents among the protestors who initiate looting and start fires. There is even evidence of one cities police placed a pile of bricks near where protestors were going to pass by.

Of course the White media says it was Antifa. Where is Antifa's HQ? How can I join Antifa? How many members does Antifa have?
None of those questions can be answered because Antifa are not a group of people. Antifa is a mindset. I'm anti-fascist and would hope you are too.

How long?

How long? How long can you expect people to be abused by lawless police and court system designed to railroad the poor into jails and prisons? How long can you watch the Jeff Bezos of the world profit from our misery?
Violence employed by the police, the FBI and other security agencies have devolved into occupying forces to protect the ultra wealthy and their exclusive interests exposes the fiction that we live under the rule of law and the treason of ruling elites.
Stokley Charmichael said, "In order for non-violence to work your opponent must have a conscience."
As we have seen in the riots our open enemy is bereft of any sort of conscience. If they can use rubber bullets, freezing water and allow White Terrorists armed with assault rifles run thru DAPL. All of it given the go ahead by the state. State violence is inevitably met with counter-violence.
I own a small mini-lop bunny who is snuggly and cute and funny but if you push him too far he will growl and lunge at you. What do you think a human will do if pushed too damn far?
Tyranny, like Trump is calling for, replaces reform. Sectarian violence here in the U.S. is very real. We see it on the news everyday.
So again I ask. How long do you expect someone to watch their children go hungry? How much longer do they think we will remain idle and watch our loved ones suffer or die from lack of medical care? How long can you expect people to be abused by
We are essentially serfs ruled by obscenely wealthy, omnipotent masters who have looted the treasury, pay little to no taxes and have perverted the judiciary system, the media and congress and the senate in order to strip our liberties away which gives them the freedom to commit financial fraud and theft.
My preference is non-violence but as I have grown older I have seen the poison that is violence. I also know that when everything around you conspires to crush you, the only way left, ONLY WAY LEFT to affirm yourself is to destroy , not only the structures and institutions around you but often yourself.
The riots are not only about another Black man murdered by cops it is a frantic fight to get back power over our own lives.
I have no answers. I've been awake since four, I just pray for everyone. I was insoired by Chris Hedges from Common Dreams to write this down. If you don't know who that is then make yourself familiar with him please.

Words of wisdom from a member of Indian Country's intellegensia

Was having a discussion with one of Indian Country's most astute and intelligent voices and he graciously told me I could share his words. The video isn't his. When I asked him to tell me what he thinks of these riots.
Brother/Genius James Giago Davis:
I hope they become larger, better organized, and networked. This is what happened in France in 1789. There is no cure for what ails our country. We cannot use this system to correct the flaws in this system. Which is why, beyond your local election, voting is pointless. It just validates a corrupt process of limited choice controlled by a rich and powerful elite. Throughout history, these types of riots are the spark that ignites into a groundswell of populist determination to bring down the corrupt prevailing order. Don't think this one will do that but like Occupy Wall Street it is a harbinger for the upheaval that can end plutocratic rule in our country. This YouTube video explains what the plutocrats have created.
Rebellion is better organized, Davi. But once the unrest hits the streets, there is always looting, always buildings burning, so the best we can hope for is that the organization will be comprehensive enough to limit it. Also, people must be aware of agent provocateurs, because the police in Minneapolis immediately had them at the protests to make the protestors look bad.
The prevailing order has gone to a lot of trouble to ratchet this society hard right, and they do not appreciate the proletariat forcing it back into the realm of social justice. In our society, proles are not communist foot soldiers, they are wage slave working stiffs. One good thing these riots have done is jar the proles out of their COVID 19 fear stupor, artfully imposed and masterfully exaggerated to keep us afraid and galvanized away from networking in our own interest around causes and ideas that directly threaten the existing social order of wanton privilege.
This YouTube video explains plutocrats in our nation, It's not from James but it fits. Look it up, I'm having an issue posting the link. It's titled: America's Stunted Political Spectrum

If you protest

WHAT TO DO AT A PROTEST.

Both tear gas and OC can straight up melt contacts onto the eyes if care cannot be reached in time, so if you head to a demo that has the potential of bringing LEO to the scene, do yourself and the medics around you a solid by doing the following...
*if you were corrective lenses, wear glasses instead of contacts... If you don't need either, bring a pair of shop goggles with you that can attach securely around your head
*bring water with you, and put at least some of it in a bottle w/a one directional nozzle that can be attached to your belt or your bag with a carabiner
*keep a fanny pack with any emergency meds you may need in it...bring along some aspirin and allergy meds, including an epi pen if you have access, and naloxone if you can get it
*tie some bandanas to your pack and stud the straps with large safety pins... In a pinch, clean bandanas can be used as tourniquets or slings for folks with arm, shoulder or clavicle damage. Safety pins can help you to make slings out of someone's own shirt on the fly.
*if you can get them, have a pair of gloves made for handling hot metals... We often see images of people tossing back tear gas canisters, but the consequence of that is twofold: tear gas canisters can cause 3rd degree burns if handled improperly, and said burns can trigger arrest when you go to seek higher care at area ERs. Either don't touch them at all, or get the proper gear to do whatever you feel is right in that moment.
Be safe.
Tips from my experience:
Detroit National Lawyers Guild: 313-925-2626
MEMORIZE THIS.
Ink can become blurry.
If you see legal observers at an event, these are the people you want to report misconduct to.
Don’t show up drunk. Don’t get high before. Be alert and vigilant. “When it’s sink or swim, you gotta think to win” - Ice Cube
If you have to bring your phone, put it in airplane mode and utilize a VOIP.
How do you think they traced how the virus was spreading from the protests in Lansing? Cellular data. LE can intercept this data with a stingray. Yes it’s illegal, they don’t care. Protect yourself.
Know that there is risk in this work, and we must protect ourselves and each other.
Respect the boundaries of your comrades.
Before taking drastic action, review how you would explain your actions to a judge or a jury of peers.
Communicate with your comrades. Do a RIVAL:
Roles
Identity
Vulnerabilities
Arrestability
Loose ends
In terms of arrest or worse, have a plan for how your family / next of kin / people who depend on you are to be notified. This is serious stuff, have your ducks in a row. Making hasty decisions that could affect more than yourself is reckless. Be smart.

Rioting in Milwaukee

     Another dead Black man at the hands of a cop. In the last 72 hours we have seen Amy Cooper threaten a man with calling the cops because he asked her to leash the dog she was abusing. 4 cops get fired but NOT arrested for murder. It was murder no argument.
Wypipo need to chill with all this faux outrage about the riots. (More to come) This country was founded by people who looted and burned down what was already there.
This Target was supporting Minnesota PD and wouldn’t sell milk to tear-gassed protestors. So forgive me for not feeling bad for a billion dollar company that pays poverty wages with no benefits while it's CEO gets millions in bonuses besides his paycheck.
According to bizcheck.com
"Target Corp. CEO Brian Cornell's pay more than doubled from 2017 to 2018. Target Corp. CEO Brian Cornell saw his overall compensation more than double in fiscal 2018 to $17.2 million, compared to $8.4 million the year prior, according to a proxy statement filed Monday"

What spiritual is to me

What spiritual means to me. As you know I am like the least follower of anything The Sons of Abraham have to say. I'm also not superstitious so that leaves some Native teachings aside. Sorry I just don't think whistling calls out "evil" but I do smudge and have been known to lay tobacco if asked.
Being spiritual means respecting boundaries (yours and mine)
It means not being taken advantage of
It means allowing yourself to angry.
Injustice makes me angry. Police killings of Brown and Black family make me angry. Missing Native Women infuriate me especially because they are not investigated.
Rape makes me angry.
Talking big shit to me will get you a reply. You might not like the reply, you might even try to use White feminist language against me. You'll still get a reply and I will still pray for my people and family.

Green Party?

Seriously think about it. We need oh so badly in this nation a viable third party. President aside, down ballot seriously think about the Green Party.
TRUMP:
"So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!" (Mar 9, 2020)
THE NEXT DAY
"Best unemployment numbers in the history of our Country. Best employment number EVER, almost 160 million people working right now. Vote Republican, unless you want to see these numbers obliterated!" (Mar 10, 2020)
DID YOU KNOW HE IS AN ANTI-VAXER?
"Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases!" 9:35 AM · Mar 28, 2014
STOKING RACIST FIRES AGAINST CHINESE:
"CoNcast (@NBCNews ) and Fake News @CNN are going out of their way to say GREAT things about China. They are Chinese puppets who want to do business there. They use USA airwaves to help China. The Enemy of the People!" 1 May 2020
I could do this all day. I think most of us can agree that Trump must go but Joe "Nothing will fundamentally change" Biden is NOT the guy who can do it. He can't debate that's for damn sure, his team has antiquated ideas on how to run an election (They still can;t figure out how to broadcast on the internet). The DNC is responsible for his winning. I'll vote but it won't be for either racist rapist Trump or Biden. Think about the Green Party seriously

Heavenly Pow Wow

    
Morning meditation 6:38. Got me thinking of the state of the world and what is to come. I think we need to carry some plain crystals and some dark stones, I'll ask wife what stone later. We also need to ask "Are you OK?" and frickin' MEAN IT. Social Distance but put up a sign, ask from your front door, the closed in porch. Mail carriers, food delivers, folks like that. I'm melancholy. Been dreaming of dad and Tiffany. We went to a pow wow and had fried bread and NDN Tacos from Delong's family booth. Spoke greeting to the sister they were busy,
We were watching mens traditional and Tiffany said she wanted to dance shawl or jingle. My heart broke when I said I would get some elder's to help I know just the two to help bring her back to the circle after a long time, Auntie Bea and the amazing  Daisy then it hit me that Tiff and Dad walked on. The pow wow disappeared and I looked up and saw the alarm. Now I'm kinda got a nervous/anxious/depressed/sad feeling. I miss my old man, When I get to heaven he and I will be telling jokes for WEEKS I have so many to share with him.......well this took a shit turn GOOD MORNING ALL!!!

Willing to be hated

       Political season, is there ever a break?, always ends up with me losing friends. Politically I am on the left but I am not one of those that think there are no good people on the right, there are people on both sides that have the exact same concerns about their lives and sadly most vote based on one source of information. How else do my elderly in-laws support an inept person like Biden, “Nothing will fundamentally change” as he says, over someone who offered medicare for all unless Rachale Maddow rad baited them into thinking Russia was attacking us and placed Trump in power ignoring everything that Trump has done politics wise that is against what Russia wants? Bernie went there on his honeymoon! SO what I went to Tennessee on mine what does that say about me? Am I now a Southerner with the love for the confederate flag and hate for “darkies”?
     People want freedom, they want wholesome lives for their children, they want safety they want good jobs and good pay. EVERYONE that is not a billionaire POS wants that, I used to think no one is 100 percent anything and I do believe that to the extent that I know for a fact that you cannot be a billionaire without having hurt a lot of people in the process. Oh you make grand gestures and you become a philanthropist but that is also because you don’t have to pay taxes. Are they 100% evil? Of course not, Trump is like 99% evil but he has pardoned some wrong doers, That’s a good thing. Running his racist mouth about Latino’s is bad, taking action in the potentially untapped business zones in poor areas is good. He’s a true 1%!
     Biden has not one single solution in sight, he promised to veto Medicare 4 All, he offers nothing but making fun of the village idiot. Meanwhile the village idiot is pillaging the economy and he has his supporters so confused they are storming the capital with guns and no masks in the midst of pandemic demanding they open fuckin Dave and Busters.
     This is what happens when you deal in absolutes and do not do your due diligence and think for yourself. You either go MSNBC or you go to FOX nothing is in between and if you say, “Tucker Carlson made a good point” you get blasted for sticking up for a right wing bigot. He is a bigot, no doubt but that doesn’t preclude him from making informed decisions and good points. I’m far from a fan of his, he’s a silver spoon hack like Anderson “CIA ANDY” Cooper.
     You have to be willing to be hated to stand n the side of right. Right now Tara Reede is the wrong side to be on and it happens to be that I believe her, and I have lost friends as the result of that. Here is what makes me different. I am more than willing to be hated but I am not such a big spiritual guy, I am spiritual enough for me as of this moment, that I won’t get right down with you if you come for me, Get caustic, sarcastic, illogical and willfully ignorant then come for me I will get as raw as an orangutans ass with you. I curse, I name call (I’m better at it than you) and I will do my absolute best to de-pants you verbally and intellectually so that you get something to either ruin your day or give you pause and something to think about. Ask Roland Martin how fast I blocked his bougie 10% phony neo-liberal bitch ass. (See?) Do I find that unbalanced? No, and I don’t eat granola either.
