Why I Read Thom Hartmann (And Maybe You Should Too)
The power of the public needs to wake up and fight back. Yes the wealthy and businesses have made it ever harder to find any time to even read news much less take action. But unless we do the past will be our future. The wealthy bought the republican party and even some in the democratic party to support the oligarchy and return to the gilded age of robber barons and a government too small and powerless to stop them. Back then the US was basically run by wealthy corporations and business interests. The people, the public not only did not have a real voice, they simply did not matter. They were only livestock to make the companies more money and when they couldn’t do that anymore, they suffered and died. A life span for the worker was 47, the life span for the wealthy was into the late 70s. Is that what we want for the US? Please people rise up, vote for Biden, the wealthy are desperate and funding all the challenges to him. RFK, Jill Stein, Cornell West none of them can win. Period. The math doesn’t work, the system doesn’t allow it. There are only two candidates that can get the needed 270 electoral votes to win, to be president. These others are simply spoilers paid to tank Biden and help tRump. Don’t let them do it. Hugs. Scottie

San Antonio U.S. Rep. Chip Roy says he wants to ‘ethnic cleanse’ white progressives
In a tweet defending Donald Trump’s plan to deport 20 million migrants, Roy said he wants to deport “white progressive Democrats – with a special bonus for rich ones with an Ivy League degree.”

The GOP congressman, who’s made inflammatory comments part of his political brand, fired off the tweet in a defense of Trump’s plans to deport some 20 million migrants if elected president. Some on social media have said Trump’s plan amounts to ethnic cleansing.
“Tell you what – I do want to ‘ethnic cleanse’ by deporting white progressive Democrats – with a special bonus for rich ones with an Ivy League degree,” Roy tweeted. “I really do not like ‘those people.'”
For what it’s worth, Roy earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and a law degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Not exactly Ivy League, but pretty prestigious schools just the same.
Roy’s comment came in response to a tweet by Will Stancil, an attorney and research fellow at the Institute of Metropolitan Opportunity in Minneapolis. In his tweet, Stancil railed against Trump’s deportation plan.
“Deporting 20 million people is absoluletly ethnic cleansing,” Stancil wrote. “That’s litteraly the population of New York State, or half the Midwest. It’s 6% of the whole population! Someone from every classroom, workplace, or street. It’s small children, working mothers, whole families.”
Although academics have debated the meaning ethnic cleansing, it generally refers to the forced removal of a specific ethnic group or minority. Perhaps surprisingly, it isn’t recognized as an independent crime under international law, according to the United Nations.
Ethnic cleaning isn’t the same as genocide, which refers to the extermination of a specific ethnic group and is a violation of international law.
Either way, a call for “ethnic cleansing” by a sitting U.S. Congressman — even if made in jest — ignited angry responses on X.
“Disgusting racist! Shame on you!” user @DavidSmuts tweeted in response to Roy.
“Being this bitter all the time isn’t healthy, Congressman,” chimed in user @isaiahmartin.
Even so, some agreed with Roy’s remark.
“We’re with you brother,” user @ chrischownyk commented. “It’s time to take back our constitutional republic.”
It’s not the first time Roy — a firebrand who once served as U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s chief of staff — has made outrageous statements on social media or in front of a microphone.
Last month, during an outburst on the House Floor, Roy warned that the Biden White House’s migration policies will lead to “Sharia Law” soon being “forced upon the American people.” And during Passover in 2020, Roy compared COVID stay-at-home orders to “Nazi Germany” during an appearance on a conservative talk show.
Roy’s up for reelection in November.
