Time is Moving.

 

We witness new times in our world. We have new campaigns going out trying to be President. This year is one for the history books as millions of people worldwide are in mass demonstrations all over America in response to the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, etc. In America, more than 1,000 people have passed away from the virus every day. There are back to work campaigns that has expanded the spread of the virus without just compensation. Millions of people are unemployed and struggle to get employment. Not to mention that millions of human beings face evictions and starvation. This political, economic, and social crisis is unprecedented in our generation. Now, the mainstream political establishment offer us the choice between the neo-fascist Trump regime and the neoliberal, moderate Joe Biden. What a choice. This is the choice that I don't want, but I have to think about our descendants. Either Trump or Biden will win the election despite the existence of third party candidates. To prevent national catastrophe, I have no choice but to vote Trump out of office despite the imperfections of Biden and Kamala Harris. We can look forward, but we have to do the right thing for our communities. We see tax cuts for the wealthy, financial deregulation via the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act, etc., lack of spending on public infrastructure, and no high speed rail. Common sense shows us that the American Empire is on the decline by every metric from economic, political, and social. We still have to fight police brutality, endless wars, and the mass incarceration state that has ruined so many lives. The Trump cult is certainly a threat to our democratic order. This Trump cult marginalizes women, black people, other people of color, undocumented immigrants, the poor, and other human beings who don't fit their perverted standard on what a real American is. Trump dodges responsibility from him causing 16 million to be jobless and other problems in America. 

 

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris agreed to wanting governors to promote masks. Also, Trump refuses to invest in the post office. Trump also hates mail in voting in a high level, because he knows that he is losing in the polls. He has rejected a $25 billion plan for the post office to support mail in voting. The post office deals with mail in voting, prescriptions, mails, etc. Right now, the virus has deaths over 167,000 Americans. Also, we saw Trump saying that he doesn't want low income housing invading suburban areas. He is not using coded language. He is very clear that he is using racist rhetoric in trying to gain votes. Trump admitting that he wants his budget to make voting harder outlines his callousness. Donald Trump supporting Qanon supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has disrespected progressives, black people, and Muslims shows why we need to vote Trump out office come November. Trump is not fighting the Deep State. The financial oligarchy has funded Trump for decades. It is the same far right extremists who wanted to end the New Deal, the Civil Rights Movement, the Great Society, etc. to this very day. Trump's payroll tax policy is a veiled attempt to harm Social Security, Medicare, and other parts of the social safety net.

 

For decades to come, history books will show what we have witnessed. In Wilmington, Delaware, which is a city on the Mid Atlantic region of America, both Biden and Harris gave their speeches. They outlined what they disagreed with Trump on, and both candidates described their vision for what they desire America to be. People have cheered. We should celebrate history and allow people to be in their feelings about the historic significance of such a candidacy. Likewise, we are not naive. For over 4 decades, we have witnessed the consequences of Reaganomics. The conclusion is that Reaganomics doesn't work. The DLC's moderate views are ended now as neoliberalism doesn't work to help the working class or any oppressed people. I believe that Biden was wise to choose Kamala Harris, because Harris is an excellent debater and she has all of the qualifications. She is a Senator, was involved in the legal affairs of the nation, and has other experience. Even recently, Trump has used the sexist trope that Kamala acted "nasty" because she disagree with Kavanaugh. Also, it is important to realize that in the midst of these days, we can't worship Wall Street or corporate corruption. We have to work and do our duties to promote the progressive principles that our ancestors fought and died for. Those principles include to eliminate imperialism and structural oppression from the world. 

 Akon is completely wrong in his recent comments. He said that black Americans should just let slavery go as a means to move forward. Jewish people never let go of the Holocaust. There are many museums about the Holocaust that not only describe how evil it is was. It shows the lesson that we should always fight injustice and never forget. Black Americans have every right to say that we should never forget what happened to our ancestors. Our ancestors suffered rape, abuse, chains, whips, and other things so graphic that I can't mention here. Likewise, the way to move forward is to never forget the past, use solutions, and fight for a better future. Akon is also wrong, because slavery exists worldwide, even today. Black Africans are readily victims of slavery in Saudi Arabia, in North Africa, etc. by racist people. Akon ought to realize that black people will never forget a thing. Akon working with a racist rapper who tours the nation trolling people (when that person was involved in exploiting a child in a grotesque away) shows what his agenda is all about. He wants profits and to minimize the pain of black people. These people who want black folks to bow down forget that this is a new generation. Like the older generations, we won't bow down to political corrections or whitewashing of the black freedom struggle. 

 

One of the most most unreported stories in the world are the infiltration of many police agencies by white supremacists and violent gangs nationwide. In Los Angeles, there are uniformed gangs called the Vikings, Regulators, and Banditos. They target black and brown communities plus even other cops. The LA Times reported that Los Angeles County paid out about $55 million in settlements in cases where sheriff's deputies have been alleged to belong to a secret society. These deputy groups like the 3000 Boys, the Regulators, etc. operated out of several Sheriff's Department stations and jails for decades. These cases span from since 1990. The FBI had a probe on these groups. Sheriff Alex Villanueva said that he wanted to ban deputies from being involved in cliques. The Lynwood Vikings is a white supremacist gang within the Sheriff's Department. Right now, California has bills that try to address police corruption.
