KEY POINT: "Successful authoritarian governments cultivate authoritarian cultures. Key to that project is the rejection of accountability, the embrace of impunity and the demand that ordinary people stand ready to be scrutinized by the state for any reason it deems necessary."

Someday your grandchildren will ask you, "What did you do during the Trump presidency?" Now is the time to do all of those things to resist, so they will be proud of you. www.yesmagazine.org/democracy/20...

America Has Never Seen a President This Corrupt Trump’s brazen use of the White House to advance his family businesses should be one of the biggest scandals in the country’s history.

It's like this EVERY. YEAR!

In this piece, I discuss how 5 teens read the racial silences in their schooling and interpret the racial experiences. I explore instructional supports to help students articulate the more complex and enduring understandings of structural/ institutional racism to foster critical racial consciousness

Professional orgs, take note:

American activists are being doxxed at home, and people in need of "humanitarian" aid abroad will be left to fend for themselves. Every single move is inhumane and destructive. So many people are going to die.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Donald Trump’s tariffs on Mexico could devastate border region, Texas economists warn The president-elect said he intends to levy a 25% tariff on goods imported from Mexico and Canada until drugs and undocumented migrants stop crossing the border.

".. An individual product could pass between the U.S. and Mexico between four and eight times, said Tom Fullerton, an economics professor at the University of Texas .. A tariff would .. substantially increase the cost of the final product .."

This person made an earnest effort to explain what's objectionable. They acknowledged your intent in what you posted. They pointed out that these are not Native artists. They asked you not to perpetuate the appropriation. They don't need to prove to you that they're Native. Google "Native artists".
