Everyday we must remind people that gestapo agents and their enablers are committing atrocities. This is an ethnic cleansing. These are crimes against humanity. And they will be held accountable.

It may have taken it a hundred and sixty years, but the Confederacy conquered the Supreme Court and the White House.

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 1d

The Reconstruction Amendments were adopted to end slavery and provide Black people with equal rights, including the right to vote.

To use those same amendments as weapons of white supremacy today is not just legally incorrect—it is a tragedy.

Voting rights are on the Supreme Court’s chopping block

Tuesday's case pits fanciful claims of racial harmony against the reality of ongoing discrimination.

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one" is a core centrist tact these days.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

Israel returned the bodies of 45 Palestinians, all marked with numbers rather than names.

The bodies reportedly arrived with their hands and legs cuffed. Some were still blindfolded. Some had been shot. Others appear to have been run over by tanks.

A group of far right assholes have showed up to protest at David Douglas high school after students allegedly pushed back at a formation of a turning point chapter. School is out & they are outnumbered by predominantly Black & Brown students roasting the fuck out of them.

i do actually think the american electorate will respond pretty drastically to this administration, but the key thing is does that reaction actually stick? i really dunno, we've lost a lot of the institutional glue and machinery that would socialize voters into a mostly stable majority

Fascist Gestapo agents in Portland have kidnapped Robbie Roadsteamer outside the Portland concentration camp. You may recognize him as the guy who goes around the country singing funny songs at protests and other Trump events. He does not appear to break any laws as he is kidnapped by 5 masked men.

Every time something like the GOP chat leak occurs I hear smart people arguing that shame could be a useful tactic. But shame only works if the bad actors think their actions are bad. Hypocrisy, shame, these Victorian-ish norms are just that, norms, guardrails, and they don't work against fascism.
