Maestro, when things stink so bad you have to hold your nose, that doesn't bode well for our society. We were literally giving away the store in the Harris case. Previous Message

I agree with you, you have to fight back with what you have, by any means necessary. To vote for Harris is in itself a fight against Trump and his fascism. Yes, one can use "the lesser of two evils" method to minimize harm when faced with limited, negative choices. Previous Message
Yes, in the case against Zionism he is no better than Trump. But does that mean you take your ball and go home, theone. This is about building a mass movement against fascism. You work with what you have. I even held my nose and voted for Harris in the last election. Previous Message
Too bad his "good trouble" heydays won't mean much today for the oppressed since he chose to be a staunch supporter of Israel. How can one feel for the oppressed including the Palestinians yet support John Lewis? Lewis "strongly disagreed" with the movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel and co-sponsored a resolution condemning the pro-Palestinian group. I mean in this case Lewis is no different than Trump. LOL!
However may Lewis continue to RIP. Previous Message

Ha, ha, Good Trouble Day. Thanks, Maestro. I hadn’t heard about that— Previous Message
This Thursday let's all honor the memory of John Lewis by getting into some good trouble. Over 1000 cities across the US will hold rallies against Trump on Good Trouble Day, which will mark the 5th anniversary of Lewis' passing.
