Klan-Energy Meets People Power

Black Organizations and Individuals Across the Country Are Saying, “We Are at War,” with the Trump Administration

Black organizations and individuals across the country are saying, “We are at War,” with the Trump administration. The Democrats who woke up to the fascism of Trump are great, those that are still quiet against Trump might get removed from office as the political calculus has completely changed. All 50 states held protests against Trump including San Antonio as over 2,000 marched and protested against Trump in the middle of downtown, and unlike Trump followers who rioted at the Capitol the demonstration was peaceful. Many are saying thanks to all those opposing Trump, including Republicans, who recognize Trump’s lunacy. Unions are opposing Trump as well while women and men of all colors are marching in opposing the rookie team of appointees that Trump has appointed to his cabinet and who are killing the country.

Black and Brown Folks Have Raised the Level of Opposition

Black and Brown folks have raised the level of opposition to Trump by recognizing that we are in a war! This internal war is a result of racist Trump policies aimed at getting rid of Black and Brown history (DEI) programs, Black and Brown workers, and endangering the health and welfare of the senior community. The education system has been gutted by the fascist meat cleaver of the Trump blind machine, and those who desperately need Medicaid may end up dying as a result of the actions of political thugs like Elon Musk. The Justice Department has been weaponized to rid the community of protections against racist policies in hiring, and there are attempts to rid the constitution of the 14th Amendment which made Black people American Citizens. People are being rounded up like animals with claims of being gang members and kidnapped and put on a plane. The Trump administration has not proven that every one put on a plane was in fact a gang member, and we know that a judge has ordered the return of one of the deportees as he was swallowed up by nameless, faceless rogues of ICE agents operating without the due process of law.

Many are developing boycotts against Elon Musk to shut down his Tesla car operations and some are trying to finds ways to sell the trash can looking vehicle back. Musk has been the fascist architect of gutting the American system of protections and firing good workers, while Trump has instigated a Tarriff war against the entire world. We are sure to suffer with increases of all types on food, gasoline, and consumer goods as prices are sky rocketing. We are indeed in a war with fascism. One must do the history of the Trump and Musk family to understand where this modern-day Ku Klux Klanism is coming from. Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was arrested in 1927 during a Ku Klux Klan riot in Queens, New York, while Elon Musk was raised in a wealthy family under the country’s racist apartheid laws of South Africa. Musk’s family history reveals ties to apartheid and Nazi politics which explains it all. Like fathers like sons!

Thousands across the country are calling their representatives in opposing Trump policies and his wicked regime of collaborators. Thanks to Al Green, Jasmine Crockett, Cory Booker and many others in the war against Trump the war has begun. While hundreds of thousands protested Trump in the U.S., millions join in across the world. Trump and his fascist hordes are being attacked everywhere. People are showing that the ugly-faced scowls and threats of the administration will not scare the American people and many who voted for Trump are now realizing their mistake and taking action.
