Roy Rolling's JournalThe arc of history is long
This arc started 50 years ago is now bending toward justice.
Our Only Hope
The Democratic Party is the best organized group to try and save the world. Not perfect, but the best we got. And as it’s said anyway, perfect is the enemy of good.
But the party leadership isn’t the talking heads of their TV media strategy, IT IS US.
We, me, you are the leaders, led by enlightened, selfless, and patriotic progressives. Who are those inspirational leaders (besides such magnanimous souls like Vladmor Zelinskyy)?
Remember, a group of soldiers marching in step that matches the resonant vibration of a large bridge can cause it to crumble underfoot. All it takes is for everyone to march to the identical rhythm and beat.
We must find that “killer vibration” of MAGAts and stomp it out with overwhelming real people numbers, not the fake numbers of TV PR propaganda images.
Let’s do it. (Sorry for the length) 
I VOTED Appreciation Thread
My ballot arrived yesterday, it gets mailed today. Please post 85 million comments for Harris-Walz if you agree.
Indifferent your enemies
Indifferent* your enemies more than they hate you. When confronting hardheaded cultists at least have the satisfaction that comes from doing the right thing. The opposite of love isn’t hate it’s indiffernce.
Ignore unreasonable people, they’re a waste of time. Do not hate them, that’s what they want. Indifferent them, the silence is deadly to cult minions. Because you don’t oppose them they have no reference to measure if they’re MAGA enough. They depend on objections and attention to validate their MAGA credentials.
Don’t give it to them, leave them hanging.
Indifferent them more than they hate us.
*yeah, I know the word “indifferent” is an adjective and not a verb.
"Conservative"
Everyone who values facts and accuracy should stop calling MAGAts “conservative”
They liberally apply MAGA standards, tear down old laws and replace them with new laws of their own liking.
Technically their actions are reactionary, but they’re too stupid to know what it means.
But preserving or conserving things they aren’t. MAGAts are never conservative, referring to Republicans mindlessly as conservative is factually wrong and journalistic malpractice.
Everything Old is New Again
?si=bGLGlP_ONQ3uJ05aAnd I feel like a stranger
In the land where I was born
And I live just like an outlaw
And I'm always on the run
And though you may be stronger now, my time will come around
You keep adding to my numbers, as you shoot my people down
Give Peace a Chance
John Lennon said the first step to peace is believing peace can happen. In the depths of the Vietnam War he made millions of us believe there could be peace and no war. It happened.
Whenever peace happens, whether after military victory or mutual destruction, the first step is believing, envisioning, embracing peace.
We can do it if we try. We must do it. Who else will if not me?
Dow Jumps More Than 300 Points
Source: CNBC
Stock futures rose ahead of Friday’s session following a report that ceasefire talks could be gaining traction between Russia and Ukraine.
Reuters sent a brief report quoting Russian President Vladimir Putin saying that “certain positive shifts” have occurred in the talks.
The report coincided with a sharp acceleration in stock futures, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures up more than 300 points and the Nasdaq 100 jumping some 1.4%.
The moves came despite another day of higher energy prices as the Russia-Ukraine war showed little signs of letting up. West Texas Intermediate crude, the U.S. benchmark, rose 2.5% to $108.66 while international standard Brent crude moved 2.5% higher to $112.08.
