Erasures of the gains made by Black Lives Matter advocates — and this word like many others Trump seeks to purge from governmental use — took a dramatic turn yesterday when construction workers began dismantling the Black Lives Matter mural in D.C. as a symbol of protest for the killing of George Floyd in 2020.
Nothing in the realm of civil and human rights appears to be safe from Trump’s plans of eradication, his baleful hook. And I was completely unnerved to learn of his plan to close the Montgomery Bus Station, the location of the historic Freedom Rides Museum.
If a landmark museum is not safe, then we worry about what amounts to vandalism on part of the Trump administration. His crusade against any semblance of DEI endangers just about everything we cherish and hold sacred.
What next? Demolish Dr. King’s statue? Remove Lincoln from Mt. Rushmore, Roosevelt from the dime, take Grant’s tomb out of Harlem? As absurd and outrageous such moves would be, given Trump’s madness and determined authoritarianism, they are not beyond his reckless disregard for civility and human decency.
I cheered Rep. Al Green’s disruption in the Chamber during Trump’s long rambling, mindless speech, and wished others had made a chorus of contempt.
It was wonderful to see Justices Barrett and Roberts join the liberal contingent on the court to thwart Trump’s plan to freeze $2 billion in foreign aid and drastic budget cuts.
Many more signs of resistance are necessary to halt Trump’s destructive march against democracy and the full application of Project 2025. We need a collective outcry against his menace and a bold resolve to stifle his obnoxious worldview, one which we thought was merely incipient is now more and more fascist — another word perhaps destined for Trump’s trash can. Can we even say the word Trumpism in all its negative connotations?
Thanks very, very-much for these news. What’s happens when you vote and support Donald J.Trump. African-Americans and Others whom VOTED for Donald J.Trump were very, very and very-stupid . Now, with these madnesses being carried-out by Donald J.Trump; showing outright NO-RESPECTS for black-lives and none for George Floyd; murdered by a white-policeman in Minneapolis, Minnesota in May-2020; African-Americans SHOULD UNITE AND FIGHT-BACK AGAINST these madnesses right-NOW. The troubles we blacks have in USA and here in U.K is UNITY; we blacks STILL have NO-UNITIES amongst ourselves despite Malcolm X, Medgar Evers and their wives, Reverend, Dr Martin Luther-King, Jr and his wife-Coretta Scott-King and families, Rosa Parks, Angela Davis, Huey P.Newton and The Black-Panther-Party-For-Self-Defense and the list goes on; all these African-American-men and women whom fought, bled and died during the civil-rights-era and their liberal-white-supporters of both-sexes whom also fought, bled and died supporting the African-American-freedom-struggles and brutally-murdered by the Ku Klux-Klan, racist-cops, CIA and the FBI too. America IS STILL REPEATING her racist-pasts right-NOW too. African-Americans SHOULD GET-OUT AND FIGHT-BACK right-NOW-PERIOD.
Yours faithfully.
African-Americans SHOULD also remember Medgar and Myrlie Evers, Malcolm X and Betty Shabbazz, Mayor-Harold Washington Of Chicago, Huey P.Newton, Angela Davis And The Black-Panther-Party-For-Self-Defense Of Oakland, California and the list goes on and FIGHT-BACK AGAINST these ongoing-racism and madnesses directed AGAINST African-Americans right-NOW-PERIOD. Talks are very, very-cheap. African-Americans SHOULD GET-OUT AND FIGHT-BACK and get their freedoms BY WHATEVER MEANS-NECESSARY RIGHT-NOW-PERIOD. Talks ARE VERY, VERY-CHEAP TOO-PERIOD.
Yours faithfully,
Leandro Roberts .
Demolish Dr. King’s statue? Remove Lincoln from Mt. Rushmore, Roosevelt from the dime, take Grant’s tomb out of Harlem?
You do realize that over the past 8 years we’ve heard these same ideas being spouted from the left to “Combat White Supremacy”.
