So…this is it. The end of everything as we know it. The escalation that we’ve feared.
“Full force.”
Portland is about to become ground zero for live rounds and the civil war between fascism and everything that is good.
I’m very, very frightened for what is upon us here. In my own backyard, where kids are playing and people are walking by the river. The propaganda is insanity.

The myth of “shared suffering” in Vicksburg turned history into faith—and faith into amnesia---for although the first war ended in 1865; the second one still shapes how Southerners see suffering, loss, freedom, sacrifice—and the redemptive struggle for truth.

American democracy keeps facing the same test. Reconstruction. Watergate. January 6th. Each was an inkblot: some saw freedom and law, others tyranny and betrayal.
The danger isn’t just the crisis—it’s perception unmoored from fact. A lie, repeated often enough, creates its own inkblot. Not to reveal the viewer. But to control them.

Today in Labor History June 2, 1863: Backed by three gunboats, Harriet Tubman and her force of 300 black soldiers, freed 800 slaves in the Combahee River Raid, South Carolina. Furthermore, they set fire to the plantations and destroyed millions of dollars-worth of stores, cotton and homes of the wealthy, without losing a single person. Additionally, it was the only military engagement in American history where a woman, black or white, “led the raid and under whose inspiration it was originated and conducted.” Tubman devised her war strategy after repeatedly penetrating across enemy lines and spying on Confederate troop movements. In the aftermath, Confederate Captain John F. Lay said, “The enemy seems to have been well posted as to the character and capacity of our troops and their small chance of encountering opposition, and to have been well guided by persons thoroughly acquainted with the river and country.” Most Americans know of Tubman’s role in the Underground Railroad. However, she was also a spy for the Union Army. And in the late 1850s, she helped John Brown plan his raid on Harper’s Ferry and recruit supporters for the raid.

RED FLAG WARNING:
Anti-Fascist author Mark Bray BLOCKED at airport from escaping the US at airport
Last night, Mark Bray had already cleared airport security to board a flight to Spain. He had announced he was leaving the US due to death threats and doxxing by Turning Point USA.
Suddenly his reservation for the flight was cancelled, blocking his trip. To reach Spain now he may need to make arrangements to cross into Canada or Mexico by land (where the US has few exit controls) and catch a flight from out of the reach of the United States.

If you want out and are not well known, now's the time. If you have a high profile like mine you may already be committed to the fight.
From Decoration Day to Memorial Day
Decoration Day started after the Civil War and eventually became Memorial Day.

Grave of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery, Washington, D. C.
MEMORIAL DAY was NOT created to celebrate all US veterans. it was created to remember the +600,000 Americans killed during the Civil War.
there were no fixed federal dates for #MemorialDay and states & localities had their own; but the earliest recorded mass commemoration was organized by formerly enslaved African Americans:
“The Forgotten Black History of How Memorial Day Started” https://time.com/5836444/black-memorial-day/
never forget today is about the #CivilWar against the slave-owning #oligarchy
Disgusting. Outrageous. Unacceptable.
#Trump said he would "take a look at" #pardons for 2 men #convicted of conspiring to #kidnap & #murder #Michigan Governor #GretchenWhitmer in 2020.
Barry Croft Jr. & Adam Fox were found guilty as the leaders of an anti-government #extremists group who wanted to grab Whitmer, a #Democrat, at her vacation home, kill her & start a #CivilWar.
