There is a lot of breaking news today. One is that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson (a person who experienced many scandals throughout the duration of his time in office) resigned from office. Many people in his administration have resigned. This changes the balance of power among the Labour and the Conservative Parties in the United Kingdom. The issue is what will the United Kingdom become in terms of executing its domestic and foreign policy positions. Will a new Prime Minister support the Western funding of Ukraine? Will the new Prime Minister follow austerity or more progressive economic positions? About 43 members of Johnson's cabinet has resigned. Many individuals have previously called for Boris Johnson's resignation. Political leaders Javid and Sunak agree with the Thatcherite policy of cutting taxes and cutting spending. Some in the Daily Mail and even the Sun want the Tories to cut spending to cut the size of the state. So, we know what this is all about. It's about the neoliberals overseas in the UK trying to push an archaic ideological view that we can cut our way into economic prosperity. History doesn't teach us that fable, because history teaches us that investments, courage, and due diligence will make economic strength a complete reality (without far-right propaganda). Boris Johnson being a conservative means that the establishment wants a new person more austerity bound than him.
There is more evidence that the gunman involved in the July Fourth Highland Park massacre has more ties to pro-Trump fascist circles. He called himself Awake showing music, and he hoarded knives and threatened to harm his own family. The person's name is Crimo. He passed a background check. To deal with this crisis, you have to address the social, economic, and political crisis in America's working class and poor. Robert Crimo had fascist rants on his social media accounts. Many more charges will come against him in the coming days. Many of the victims' names are Jacki Sundheim, Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, Irina McCarthy, Kevin McCarthy, and other human beings. He was arrested in Wisconsin and stopped and arrested by agents. We know now how Crimo was a Trump supporter, which is downplayed by some in the mainstream media. Crimo attended Trump rallies and cheered Trump as his motorcade passed by. Crimo had memes and icons with the glorification of violence and that's found with fascistic and anti-Semitic groups. Crimo promoted the song I Am Storm which is related to the Qanon cult group. He hosted a Discord server after a Nazi military group called the SS. Highland Park has a high Jewish population. You can put 2 and 2 together on Crimo's motivations. Crimo has an account where he hated black people. So, he is a racist too.
Numerous Trump associates have been subpoenaed by the Fulton County Special grand jury. Their names are Rudy Guiliani, Senator Linsdey Graham, Cleta Mitchel, and other human beings. The Fulton County DA named Fani Willis said that the public can expect more subpoenas of Trump associates. The grand jury is trying to get the facts found out. Graham said that he will fight the subpoena which shows me that he might have something to hide. The grand jury is trying to take their time to research and get as much information as possible. District Attorney said that Trump could be charged if the evidence points in that direction. Also, Donald Trump was caught on tape trying to make the Georgia election officials including the Georgia Attorney General manipulate votes in order for him to win Georgia. Trump wanted 11,000 votes, but the Georgia Attorney General told him accurately that he has lost the election. Obviously, Trump was wrong, and Georgia was blue for the 2020 election. The Fulton County grand jury has tons of facts already. Trump could very well be charged in Georgia. Trump also knew what he was trying to do was illegal.
We certainly have more news about the protests in Akron, Ohio over the unjust murder of Jayland Walker. Walker was hit with a hail of over 60 bullets. No rational human being can ever justify the murder of Jayland Walker. His family is going through massive pain and turmoil in their lives. Now, we have stories about state and federal police officers using excessive force against protesters and journalists in the working-class community of Akron, Ohio. Officers from the Akron Police Department used chemical weapons against peaceful protesters who demand justice. There are social media videos of some police targeting peaceful protesters with tear gas including journalists. These people have committed no crime. This came after Mayor Horrigan lifted the curfew of Akron on Wednesday night. These acts violate the First Amendment rights of journalists and protesters. This is real. In America, we have more than 1 million Americans have died from the pandemic, record inflation, war in Ukraine, and massive economic inequality. Spectrum News reporter Kristen Anzuini said that she and her photographer Jacob were tear-gassed by the Summit County Sheriff's Office. Destinee Stark said that 2 teen girls were prevented from going home for curfew issues, they were arrested, and one girl texted Stark that the police grabbed her and pushed her to the grass (being tear-gassed). This is fascism period. We have to show these stories to make sure that we have the right to stand up for the democratic rights that our ancestors have fought for heroically.
Days ago was the Birthday of the late Sister Phyllis Linda Hyman. She lived from 1949 to 1995. As a legendary artist, she worked as a singer, songwriter, and actress. Many of her many songs are You Know How to Love Me in 1979, Living All Alone in 1986, and Don't Wanna Change the World in 1991. She was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her cousin is the famous actor Earle Hyman. Later, she grew up in St. Clair Village, the South Hills section of Pittsburgh. Phyllis Hyman worked in the group New Direction. She was in the 1974 film Lenny too. Later, she worked on songs and gave her soul to express her mind. Her voice was incredible to listen to, and she always possessed a humble spirit as a black human being. She was a great singer of ballads and songs about romance. Her posthumous album was I Refuse to Be Lonely in 1995. She endorsed black representation in the music industry and black-owned businesses. Hyman was public about advocating these things, because she loved black people unconditionally.
Rest in Power Sister Phyllis Hyman.
