Did you read the link? Never a member. Cast a vote for a CPUSA candidate 40 years ago.

"Sir, are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist party?"

"No."

"I'll take that as a yes."

It's too fucking depressing to be in a slow motion trainwreck. I'll figure out something I can do to help the cause in some small way.

Done HERE is one thing and is certainly understandable. But, please keep on working as hard as you are able for progressive change. Even though we are in a reversal right at the moment, you just need to look back in history a short time to see that we are continuing to advance. And the ONLY resason for that is continual work by progressive people and groups.

'Rapists, animals, drug dealers': woman abuses US Latino man in echo of Trump

A Latino man who was filmed being racially abused by a white California woman has said similar incidents have become “increasingly regular” since Donald Trump took office.


Video of Esteban Guzman being verbally attacked by the unidentified woman has been watched more than a million times since it was shared early on Monday morning.

The footage shows the woman pointing her finger in Guzman’s face.

“Why do you hate us?” Guzman asks.

“Because you’re Mexicans,” the woman replies.


Guzman tells her “we’re honest people”.

“Yeah, rapists. And animals,” the woman says. “Drug dealers.”

The language closely echoes words used by Donald Trump during his campaign and since becoming president. Trump kicked off his campaign by claiming Mexicans seeking immigration were “rapists” and “drug dealers”.

In May Trump, discussing his administration’s efforts to deport “people trying to come in” to the US, said: “These aren’t people. These are animals,” Trump said.

Guzman, 27, works in construction on weekends to supplement his full-time job in IT as a systems administrator. He and his mother were clearing a yard in Running Springs, 80 miles east of Los Angeles, when the woman approached.

“She was yelling at my mom go back to Mexico,” Guzman told the Guardian.

Guzman said he was “afraid” for his mother’s safety when he approached.

“I was like hey, what’s the problem? And she said we were all illegals,” Guzman said. “I told her: ‘I’m a United States citizen.’ And she obviously she didn’t believe me.”

Guzman said he had suffered racial abuse “all my life”, but said it had become more frequent since Donald Trump’s emergence on the political scene and use of racist rhetoric.

“Ever since last year it’s becoming increasingly more regular,” Guzman said.

“I think his speech gave everybody permission to call us those names and to think bad of us,” Guzman said. ““I know a lot of people that have had it said to them”

no question there, but trump and his minions sell the snake oil of racial scapegoating instead of offering actual solutions

typical. has happened before as history shows.

"Meanwhile, Benghazi survivor and former Army ranger Kris Paronto - who lost his security clearance years ago after telling his account of the Benghazi attack - slammed Brennan in a Thursday tweet which reads: "My principles are greater than clearances too John, especially when you and the @CIA kool-aid drinkers punished us for not going along with the Benghazi cover-up story in order to protect you, @HillaryClinton ‘s & @BarackObama ‘s failures. You put your politics before us."

‘Please come help’
Eastern Shore crab houses are suffering this summer because they didn’t get the visas needed to hire enough pickers from Mexico.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...sing-business/

[...] The situation illustrates a general unwillingness among U.S. workers to perform certain kinds of labor, some of the business owners here in Dorchester County say. It also demonstrates how President Trump’s “America First” policies have not necessarily helped those workers or small-business owners but instead have dealt them a new economic reality.

Crab-picking houses are boosting wages and expanding overtime but are losing customers — and profits — because they can’t provide a reliable supply of crabmeat. One local supplier buys meat elsewhere to serve at its restaurant because the in-house picking plant has none. And at Russell Hall, Phillips is weighing whether to pack up and move his operation to Mexico.

“What future’s gonna be here if we don’t know if we’re gonna get our workers?” Phillips said. “Our girls are right in Mexico, and they have crabs just like we have.”

I am well aware of the dependence of this country's grossly bloated hospitality industry on cheap labor, largely to cater to nouveaux riches finance sector rentiers. The whole system amounts to the hospitality workers constituting an out-of-house domestic staff, and is founded upon income and wealth inequality. A massive reorganization of that sector, and of relative wage rates generally, is urgently called for.

THERE ARE NO MORE WORKERS

everyone who can have a job already has it

get it??

there are no more people to shuffle around

how much are you gonna pay for a dental assistant to go crab picking in the summer?

Cities with the highest homeless populations:

- New York City (76,501)
- Los Angeles (55,188)
- Seattle (11,643)
- San Diego (9,160)
- Washington DC (7,474)
- San Jose (7,394)
- San Francisco (6,858)
- Las Vegas (6,490)

All of them are run by Liberals.

President Trump's tax cuts clearly exacerbate the problem, which predates his administration. Redistributive taxation, an end to excessive military spending (and to the chronic wars which such spending feeds), and a general reprioritizing of government expenditures are desperately needed.

You mean the cities with the largest population have the largest homeless population? Go figure!

Just kidding.

Actually, Houston is the fourth largest US city and isn't on that list. The mayor is democrat. And black. Philadelphia is fifth largest. Not on list. Mayor is democrat. Phoenix is sixth. Democrat mayor.

I don't know if you were being serious, but if so, there doesn't seem to be much connection between a city's homeless population and which party tends to run the city. Plenty of democrat mayors can keep the problem under control.

Not sure what's up with Seattle. Twentieth largest city but third largest homeless population? The democrat mayor there must suck. I'll give you that.

[!@#$%!]

it’s because liberals are more tolerant and charitable.

i mean, if you were homeless—would you wanna beg from the bible thumpers in dallas?

imagine the horror of your christian brother sicking the cops on you for the “crime” of being homeless

lmao

they give them tickets so they can’t get ID
