3/3 From what I'm seeing from the right and elements on the left is they would love to cut our Congressional power. If we let them win, we could have half the Black representation in Congress that we do now. We need to push back on this. We must fight and not allow it to happen.

1/? There I was born there were 14 Black people in Congress. One Black Senator. Fifty-one years later, we have 66 Congress people. That is approximately 12% of Congress and almost a representation of our population in this country. We have 5 Black Senators. That is 10% of the Senate.

An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.

Service is only of value if it flows toward the goals of purity and the distorted virtues of the regime—usually rooted in authoritarian ideas around strength, hygiene, traditional gender roles, etc.

An element of fascism is a kind of upside down where the meanest, most rapacious, and least virtuous of society are loosed to bully and abuse people who genuinely uphold civic ideals of service and sacrifice. Public service isn’t what the system is about. It’s about conditioning the national body.
