Your brain is under attack. Defense is easy: Use your brain.

Canvassing black and brown sectors in segregated Wisconsin, one walks away with an inescapable conclusion: Few folks are organized, many are apolitical, and most appear hopeless about the electoral system.

In minority neighborhoods, the most visible and malicious manifestation of the state is typically the local police force—dangerous collections of amped-up wannabes exhibiting police-state phantasms, (Gin and Tacos). It takes a certain misanthropic personality to hurt someone.

There is no excuse not to oppose Donald Trump. Try Googling 'how to oppose Trump'.

Forget praying, try organizing; better yet attempt to think.
