Portland, Oregon: Latest Show of Hierarchical Control Tactics

Trump's Homeland Security tactics are terrorizing protestors in Portland, Oregon. Protestors are being forced into unmarked vehicles by unlabeled agents in camo outfits. These federal agents are acting in a city unwelcome by the governor of Oregon and the mayor of Portland.

People on the top on hierarchies feel they can use any tactics they want to control those who disagree with building and maintaining hierarchies, which certainly Black Lives Matter does. Trump and his supporters appear to stop at almost nothing to force the country to allow them to go back to a time when white supremacy ruled even more than it does today.

John Lewis: Our Country Will Miss Him

John Lewis will forever be a beacon of honor and hope in the United States and he will be very missed. An icon of the Civil Rights Movement, those of us who are working to end hierarchies could always depend on him for saying whatever shined the light on the truth.

CBC: Trump, Don't Comment on John Lewis's Death

Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, urged President Trump to remain silent on Rep. John Lewis’s (D-Ga.) recent death, suggesting his remarks would serve as an unwanted distraction.

.@realDonaldTrump while the nation mourns the passing of a national hero, please say nothing. Please don’t comment on the life of Congressman Lewis. Your press secretary released a statement, leave it at that,” she tweeted. “Please let us mourn in peace.”

Way to stand up to the top of the hierarchy, and tell them not to try to benefit from the work and honor of people in lower groups!
