Commentary: Silence will let Trump ride racism to another term – Los Angeles Times

Donald Trump’s closing campaign rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday was a stunningly racist display where speakers mocked Latinos, Jews and Palestinians, likened the event to a “Nazi rally” and called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” It was capped by a 78-minute speech in which the former president repeatedly attacked the intellect of the first woman of color to lead a major party presidential ticket, calling Vice President Kamala Harris “a vessel” who “can’t put two sentences together.”…

Kneel. Pray. Win. We Have Orders from General George Washington.

…I fear a loss to Trump in this election will tear the very fabric of my being should America end and become a white supremacist dictatorship.  I cannot fathom the joyfulness of people turned devils who will dance on the grave of this great nation and turn it into a dictatorship whose first job would be to destroy centuries of progress, subjugate women, and spark a civil war.  Then the narcissist will order the army as a Gestapo to round up and deport 20 million people while arresting American political opponents … myself included.

And so, I understood the orders wordlessly transmitted to me from General Washington: Stand up, man … and Fight.

Fight … this pestilence that eats at the stitches of the American flag.

Fight … to rid yourself of the disgust of the possibility that in a week, half of the electorate could happily cast off the words “The United States” and embrace a racist, fascist, Divided Whited States.

For one horrible second, I thought about my firearms. Should I prepare to fight in a gun battle to defend the true patriots? Should I assume civil war would come to my beloved streets of Philadelphia? Will we again have to fight for our liberty and freedom by force of arms?

No. The answer was shockingly clear.  The fight I was tasked with was to do everything in my power to see General Washington’s wishes were fulfilled by the people’s power.

So, I wiped away my tears, set aside the thought of filling AR-15 magazines with bullets, and went to Florida to convince my fellow Americans to vote for our salvation.

So now it is your turn.

You must vote.

Vote for your life. You may forfeit it and your rights if you do not.

Vote for the lives of the women you love. You may forfeit their lives for the next century if Trump puts in a 9-0 Supreme Court.

Vote for your children. They may soon grow up without fundamental rights we fought centuries to achieve.

Vote for your neighbor’s sake.  They may become your greatest fear if they self-deputize and take up arms against you in the name of Trump. They may also be forced into trucks and trains by the army and police, which were formed to protect them.  It could lead to bloodshed as they have Second Amendment rights as well.

Vote for the American men and women who died in Normandy, Khe Sanh, Bakhmut, Takur Ghar, Peleliu, Fort McPherson, Pearl Harbor, Bunker Hill, the Samar Sea, Yorktown, Fallujah, and the doorway of TWA Flight 847.

These Americans sacrificed themselves to form a more perfect union made up of imperfect people, poor decisions, and ridiculously heroic acts of valor.  They all sacrificed themselves to the idea that America will always progress and live up to its founding words, that we will secure the blessing of Liberty for ourselves and our posterity.

This election day, before you vote, do one last thing … take a knee. Clasp your hands and pray for a few seconds that this nation, of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from this earth.

Then get up and fight for America with all of your heart.

Leave nothing on the field … and we will prevail.

We. Will. Win.

The Guardian view on Israel v the UN: the making of an outlaw state | Editorial | The Guardian

Israel’s rightwing government is recklessly steering the nation toward rogue-state status, with deeply troubling, escalating attacks on the United Nations that fuel a dangerous drift from international accountability. From its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, down, it exhibits a brazen contempt for the global norms that govern human rights, conflict and diplomacy.

Hamas’s murderous attack last year in Israel, which left 1,200 people dead, ignited the current crisis. However, Israel’s response has been wildly disproportionate. Schools, hospitals and shelters have been struck, resulting in thousands of civilian deaths. In the year since the Gaza war began, the evidence supporting genocide claims against Israel has grown, with the UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, last week condemning Israel’s military for “effectively subjecting an entire population [in north Gaza] to bombing, siege and risk of starvation”. Israel has killed UN staff in Gaza and attacked UN bases in Lebanon. Israeli officials too often accuse the UN of antisemitism. The UN secretary general was barred from Israel for failing to “fully condemn” a missile strike by Iran on Israel this month.

October 27, 2024 – by Heather Cox Richardson – Trumpers on Puerto Rico

After the “floating island of garbage” comment, Puerto Rican superstar musician Bad Bunny, who has more than 45 million followers on Instagram, posted Harris’s plan for Puerto Rico, and his spokesperson said he is endorsing Harris.

Puerto Rican singer and actor Ricky Martin shared a clip from Hinchcliffe’s set with his 16 million followers. His caption read: “This is what they think of us.” Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez, who has 250 million Instagram followers, posted Harris’s plan. Later, singer-songwriter and actress Ariana Grande posted that she had voted for Harris. Grande has 376 million followers on Instagram. Singer Luis Fonsi, who has 16 million followers, also called out the “constant hate.”

The headlines were brutal. “MAGA speakers unleash ugly rhetoric at Trump’s MSG rally,” read AxiosPolitico wrote: “Trump’s New York homecoming sparks backlash over racist and vulgar remarks.” “Racist Remarks and Insults Mark Trump’s Madison Square Garden Rally,” the New York Times announced. “Speakers at Trump rally make racist comments, hurl insults,” read CNN.

But the biggest sign of the damage the rally did was the frantic backpedaling from Republicans in tight elections, who distanced themselves as fast as they could from the insults against Puerto Ricans, especially. The Trump campaign itself tried to distance itself from the “floating island of garbage” quotation, only to be met with comments pointing out that Hinchcliffe’s set had been vetted and uploaded to the teleprompters.

As the clips spread like wildfire, political writer Charlotte Clymer pointed out that almost 6 million Puerto Ricans live in the states—about a million in Florida, half a million in Pennsylvania, 100,000 in Georgia, 100,000 in Michigan, 100,000 in North Carolina, 45,000 in Arizona, and 40,000 in Nevada—and that over half of them voted in 2020.
