I don’t want to vote for a Democrat who promises to get Trump’s voters to vote for them. I want a Democrat who wants to put Trump in prison

American apartheid. With every racist SCOTUS decision, every ICE kidnapping, every racist gerrymandering redistricting defended by SCOTUS, Republicans are resegregating the United States. When will the β€œWhites Only” signs start appearing?

I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before

but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

There are 75,977 people born in Somalia who are now citizens of the United States, including those specific people.

He is talking about US citizens. He is talking about *us*.

The truth is that none of us are garbage, and the job of the US president is to represent all of us.

We, the people.

Sacks was the third player in the Ackman-Rufo disgusting takedown of Claudine Gay w/cherry-picked, ancient allegations, mock outrage, racist tropes about Black competence, and vibes.

But he’s crashing out over a legit story abt his conflicts.

Murdering crew members claiming they were smuggling drugs while pardoning a drug kingpin. Very on brand for the Trump regime.

The New Political Attacks On Black Philanthropy β€” And How Communities Are Fighting Back | Essence As new federal scrutiny threatens the future of Black-led nonprofits, advocates warn that the assault on giving is really an assault on community power.

"The strategy is coordinated: starve the institutions that build civic power, then close the ballot box to those who would wield it. One hand suppresses the vote; the other strangles the organizing that defends it." - Co- Founder of BVM, LaTosha Brown and Janiece Evans-Page.

They're not hiding it, folksβ€”straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.

This is who MAGA is now.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

Average American Thanksgiving: President declares total ban on immigration, calls an esteemed democratic governor a slur, and then goes on TV to talk about Somalis like animals when asked about a mass shooting by a former child soldier and member of a CIA associated death squad.

the fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.

After the shooting if 2 National Guard officers yesterday, I can’t help but think of Operation Himmler, the 1939 nazi false flag attack used to justify invading Poland.

False flag operations are part of the fascism playbook

I don’t put anything past this administration

These 28 Democrats joined House Republicans in voting to repeal DC's law to effectively abolish cash bail.

Why do they think they should have more of a say than DC residents?

Why do they want to enable Trump's fascism?

Why are they so blatantly racist?

This is called β€œchain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
