Appears yet another prurient like imposter, emboldened by waves of authoritarian rule, feels courageously compelled to eavesdrop on others. Partner of the “turn in your neighbor”fixation , encouraged by wicked cowards. They’re window peepers who masquerade as patriots or even Good Samaritans. As you noted, we should know what to do with them.
I am glad I was active during the time when Iowa welcomed immigrants but I also knew some of the history of an earlier time when we did not. It gives me hope that we can change again.
There was a time we did not fear the government, They were controled by "We the people" through our elected legislators who followed our demands or suffered the consequences of getting voted out. It was simple, simple, simple! Overthe course of time our votes were replaced by money and the Supreme Court has affirmed this with the case of "Citizens United" by calling people's and corporate donations to politicians "Free Speech". About the sametime, our fair and free elections becameless fair and certainly less free! Manipulation of the rules to make simply voting more difficult for some, also closed the window of time to vote and the ways you could vote. "Jim Crow" was reserrected in the south by "voter "challenges" that appeared tobe orchestrated by the Republican Party, how else would a woman be able to challenge 7,000 voters and not know even one of them personally? Incidentially, they were all black! Limiting the time frame to correct this simply elliminated thousands of votes for the opposition! Tying voting to immigrants wholegally can't vote simply increased the hatred of the MEGA crew that allows themselves to be blind sided by the Trump propaganda. Then it was MS-13, truth be told, the CIA had as much to do creating that criminal organization under Reagan who was illegally fighting a war in El Salvador and Nicaragua that should have caused his impeachment, but by the time the hearings had ended,his mental capacity was such they let it go as a humanitarian move. Paying for this war was easy by sending drugs to the biggest ilegal market, The US! Hiring local gangs to intimidate the rest of the public through terrorism. So, the people they tell you they are sending to El Salvador are a "TERRORIST" organization of their own making! This is just a start of a cascading situation to find blame with all those who "KING" Trump finds on his enemies list!
Thanks once again, Bob, for pointing out and standing up to “trickle down” bullying, ever present in this wannabe fascist regime. The fear they create in every targeted community is real and abhorrent. We should be cherishing and helping our new neighbors begin their lives again in a new country, surrounding them with support until they are steady on their own. I am deeply ashamed of where we are. That said , this is a place where we don’t need to feel helpless. There is so much need in this moment. Call. IMMJ or USCRI, volunteer, give $$, help someone learn English. We can help.
Thomson sounds like a definite Trumper. How can we ask for the documents of the Dallas County Republicans? Their closed forum with an Iowa J6er needs more call out. A week ago on Jim Acosta's substack program his guest was Officer Michael Fanine who has attacked by Iowa J6er Miller. Jim and Michael mentioned coming to Iowa for a truth tour. How can we help that happen?
Thank you for sharing this information and for taking a stand against bullies. Shine the light of day on evil & darkness. Transparency and Justice matter!
Thank you for the insight and thoughts. Once a journalist, always a journalist 🌺
