Sometimes it seems like we do, such as how Germany kept the horrors of WWWII in the faces of its citizens but then people forget and yeah, we’re back to square one. 😞

@see_the_sus I was incredulous when we were conned into the Iraq war, after the lessons "learned" in Vietnam. I have since lowered my expectations

@gemswinc

The problem about Vietnam and every other war that America has entered, (or started), is that none of them have affected us here on our soil. Sure, Americans got killed or came back injured for life, but that’s easy for most folks to ignore when it doesn’t impact them.

@see_the_sus @gemswinc

Just pinned a pist about that. we forget, then dont notice the signs and before too long here we are again.

My family laughed at me when I identified TFG as a fascist when he pressured NYPD through a media campaign to have the Central Park 5 jailed and asked they be executed.

Now he is going after prosecutors and judges.

@Bliss

Fuck, I had no idea he had a hand in that. 😡

@gemswinc

@see_the_sus @Bliss I'd heard, but forgotten. Hard to keep up with all the perfidy

@gemswinc @see_the_sus

They were all innocent. One was just overwhelmingly elected to NYC Council and began his term 2 weeks ago.

@Bliss @see_the_sus I know the last part, and then he was, recently wrongly stopped again, or stopped without reason

@gemswinc @see_the_sus

Yes, but NY Post & TFG supporters are waging another media blitz to demonize Yusef Salaam

@Bliss

Gee, what a surprise. 🤬

@gemswinc

@Bliss

I knew about that part and I’m so proud of him for reclaiming his life.
