In Texas’ Third-Largest County, the Far Right’s Vision for Local Governing Has Come to Life

https://www.propublica.org/article/tarrant-county-judge-tim-ohare-far-right

No Compromise: Tim O’Hare’s leadership in Tarrant County, Texas, gives a glimpse of far-right priorities: cutting programs for at-risk youth, targeting elections and stifling dissent.
The Last Battleground: Tarrant County, home to 2.2 million people and the city of Fort Worth, is the most significant political battleground between Republicans and Democrats in Texas.
Winning Elections: O’Hare has pushed to end free bus rides to the polls for poor residents and close polling locations on college campuses, which GOP leaders said would help the party.

Over the past two decades, Tim O’Hare methodically amassed power in North Texas as he pushed incendiary policies such as banning undocumented immigrants from renting homes and vilifying school curriculum that encouraged students to embrace diversity.

WATCH: ‘Israel’s Reel Extremism’ - A Startling New Documentary from Zeteo
[The first 10 minutes is viewable for free Zeteo subscribers, the entire 40-minute film is viewable for paid subscribers.]#IsraelsReelExtremism is an on-the-ground examination of #Israel after many months of war, seen through the prism of social media posts from #Gaza - and interviews with the soldiers behind them. These posts across #TikTok and #Instagram, some shared millions of times, show soldiers humiliating bound #Palestinians, ransacking their homes, joking as they detonate schools and whole districts, and laughing as they launch high explosive ordnance into densely-packed areas. The award-winning team behind this #BasementFilms production traveled to Israel to interview soldiers, #radical #activists, #rightwing politicians, and media personalities, revealing an Israeli #Jewish society that is gripped by vengeance and hate.

Michael Parenti on the ruling class' concern with our thinking/perceptions

"But they don’t care about what we think. They turn a deaf ear to us," some people complain. That is not true. They care very much about what you think. In fact, that is the only thing about you that holds their attention and concern. They don’t care if you go hungry, unemployed, sick, or homeless. But they do care when you are beginning to entertain resistant democratic #thoughts. They get nervous when you discard your #liberal complaints and adopt a #radical analysis. They do care that you are catching on as to what the motives and functions of the national security state and the US global empire are all about at home and in so many corners of the world. They get furiously concerned when you and millions like you are rejecting the pap that is served up by corporate #media and establishment leaders.

By controlling our #perceptions, they control our society; they control public #opinion and public #discourse. And they limit the range and impact of our political #consciousness. The plutocrats know that their power comes from their ability to control our empowering responses. They know they can live at the apex of the social pyramid only as long as they can keep us in line at the pyramid’s base. Who pays for all their wars? We do. Who fights these #wars? We do or our low-income loved ones do. If we refuse to be led around on a super-patriotic, fear-ridden leash and if we come to our own decisions and act upon them more and more as our ranks grow, then the ruling profiteers’ power shrinks and can even unwind and crash—as has happened with dynasties and monarchies of previous #epochs.

We need to strive in every way possible for the revolutionary unraveling, a #revolution of organized #consciousness striking at the #empire’s heart with full force when #democracy is in the streets and mobilized for the kind of irresistible upsurge that seems to come from nowhere yet is sometimes able to carry everything before it.

There is nothing sacred about the existing system. All economic and political #institutions are contrivances that should serve the interests of the #people. When they fail to do so, they should be replaced by something more responsive, more just, and more democratic.

--- Michael Parenti, in his book Profit Pathology and Other Indecencies (highlights added by me)

Nothing less than a revolution. The seeds of the future!
In my naivety, I really thought that for the first time in human history we would have a revolution without bloodshed. I underestimated the reactionary forces. If they can't shoot someone directly, they take hostages or murder children and women. Anyone who can't defend themselves. After all, they are cowards. But it's still a revolution! You can read my interpretation of it here. I didn't make up everything it says, I'm trying to categorise it. A new dawn is coming!

আমেরিকান হাউস অফ রিপ্রেজেন্টেটিভের তাইওয়ান সফর নিয়ে চীনের হুমকির সমর্থন করেছে পাকিস্তান। সে তো করবেই, নিজেদের দেশটাকে তো চীনের কাছে ধার-দেনায় বিক্রি করেই দিয়েছে।😆😆😆 আর এসব কথা বলি বলেই, আমরা মোদী সরকারের কাছে দেশদ্রোহী। 😆😆😆
Pakistan supported PRC china's threats to Taiwan country and USA regarding HOR speaker's visit on Taiwan. Ofcourse they'll, they sold their own country to PRC china's DEBT already! 😆😆😆
And because of these statements, we're traitors to Modi Bjp government. 😆😆😆 #modi #pakistan #china #prc #bjp #religion #fundamentalists #radical #communist #traitor #usa #taiwan

#DrKing was a great #civil-rights #leader, but he was more than that. He was a #political #revolutionary who summoned the #nation to “undergo a #radical #revolution of #values” to #overcome “the #giant #triplets of #extreme-materialism, #racism, and #militarism.” Never forget his #vision.
