$4 BILLION β€” So corrupt.

There is no debating this. Anyone who says otherwise is telling on themselves.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

It's a combination of lack of education and lack of critical thinking.

Mike McCready Imagine this. You’re back in school. You’ve just finished a lesson on World War IIβ€”on how fascism rose, how propaganda worked, how ordinary people slowly accepted cruelty and authoritarianism. And.....

#MAGA fascists were presumably taught about #fascism in school, but pretend that what they support is not remarkably similar to what they were taught about.
It's part of why the #GOP oppose education and #Trump loves the uneducated.

And if changing the culture of a place is unacceptable, the culture of the US should be that of the Native Americans.

This Lawyer Stayed With ICE and It Ruined Her Life
YouTube video by LegalEagle This Lawyer Stayed With ICE and It Ruined Her Life

A lawyer for #ICE gives an insight into how bad working for them is.
This is the #GOP. Everyone who voted for a #GOP candidate (unless it's one of the few who actively opposes #Trump and authoritarianism) shares in the responsibility.

Washington Post cartoonist quits after paper pulls her cartoon slamming Post owner Bezos Cartoonist accused paper of squashing her drawing because it slammed Bezos, though the Post denied that was the motivation.

and prevented the Washington Post from endorsing Kamala Harris.
This is a stark change from the paper that exposed the Watergate scandal, resulting in corrupt retaliation from the White House with challenges to the Post Company's television licences.

Washington Post Cuts Amazon Reporter Amid Mass Layoffs The once prestigious newspaper is now fully at the mercy of billionaire owner (and Amazon founder) Jeff Bezos.

#Bezos staff cuts at the Washington Post include the reporter responsible for reporting on Amazon, further compromising its impartiality.
He previously restricted what they could write about in editorials, prevented publication of a cartoon unfavourable to him,

And the "One Heritage" just refers to one group of immigrants: #ICE harass native Americans too.
And Melania #Trump is an immigrant who previously worked in the US illegally.

Labor Department accused of echoing Nazi slogan in social media post Social media users quickly noted similarities β€” in word, form and sentiment β€” between the Labor Department's post and a slogan used by the Nazi Party.

They're not hiding the white supremacy:
#Trump's Dept. of Labor uses the slogan "One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American."
It's adapted from a Nazi slogan: β€œEin Volk, ein Reich, ein FΓΌhrer” (β€œOne People, One Country, One Leader.”)

The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

Would you ever hang a sign on a bridge?

Do you have a projector?

I'm not talking about 1 like this that can project super far away on tall buildings, but the kind for a movie night at your house?

What if we projected scenes of #ICELawlessness on our homes or churches or businesses?

Who's in?

Homeland Security doesn’t like it when we call ICE and Border Patrol β€œthe Gestapo.”
So let’s set the Gestapo aside. Instead I’ll use this thread to compare Trump’s thugs to other secret police and terror squads from different times and places. It’s tyranny, no matter where it comes from. 1/10🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

And we see the same sort of racist hatred that enabled it, from the far right, in the United States, Ireland, and the rest of Europe.

International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the 27 January

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day.
We must never forget, especially as denial is rampant, and seems to be increasing.
We said "never again", yet more genocides have happened.

A man in car, with someone else's hand in the foreground, holding a color chart, with color corresponding to human skin colors. Opposite the lighter colors (white) is the text "Open carry because America! Founding fathers blah blah blah". Opposite the darker tones, "Guns are a privilege, not a right.".

But for the #GOP, apparently the 2nd Amendment applies only to white people; for other races, carrying a gun can be a capital offence.

However, when the Black Panthers carried guns, *then* they supported tighter gun control.

They were not so blindly supporting of the 2nd Amendment in general at that time though:

NRA makes rare statement against Trump admin over Alex Pretti shooting The NRA rebuked a senior federal prosecutor’s remarks on armed encounters with police after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

The #NRA released a statement that carrying a gun is not grounds for killing protesters. (So *they* see that they can't have it both ways.)

Kanye West takes out full-page ad apologising for antisemitic behaviour and denying he is a Nazi Rapper, now known as Ye, apologises to his family and to the Black community and says he loves Jews, blaming his bipolar disorder for his β€˜poor judgment and reckless behaviour’

And #Ye (Kanye West) also seems to be ending his support for right-wing extremism, apologising and blaming mental illness for it (though it might be because he's releasing a new album; we can judge based on his future actions):
