What’s happening isn’t un-American. The N*zis were copying off of our homework re: Jim Crow, and Tr*mp is copying off Andrew Jackson’s for extra credit. We need to stop externalizing the systems of oppression if we want to actually dismantle them. #ThisIsAmerica

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

And they only use trained human volunteers-no AI.

Fun Fact! If an autistic person gets too excited and starts doing racist shit, this is because they are a racist, not because they are autistic.

The nazi salute is not an ambiguous gesture. It's not something you would do on accident, unless it is something you're used to doing on purpose.

If you see ICE out and about, you should greet them with a friendly shout of “LA MIGRA”, “AL-HIJRA”, and “ICE RAID”

It‘s right to be terrified that they are not even trying to hide where this is all heading. But they are banking on that terror immobilizing us.

Be afraid. Be angry. But don’t believe them that we don’t have the power to get in their way. If we didn’t, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to scare us.

Text reads:

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.”

Letter from a Birmingham Jail
Martin Luther King, Jr (1963)

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere…Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” -MLK, Jr 1963

Staying ‘out of politics’ isn’t neutrality—it’s privilege. Your race, gender, wealth, or abilities might let you ignore oppression, but for many, politics is survival. People are fighting for their lives while others just want ‘nice vibes.’

Opting out isn’t an option for everyone. Reflect on that.

If you’re trying to stay informed but keep bashing your head against paywalls, your public library probably provides digital access
