blue states should create escrow accounts into which citizens pay their federal taxes but are withheld by the state until the federal government stops acting like its only obligated towards states that support the maga agenda
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

If Bari Weiss didn’t know what the Streisand Effect was before this week, she’ll certainly be familiar with it now. This episode of 60 Minutes is utterly damning. The sadism displayed in CECOT is even worse than previously depicted. It’s clear why she felt the need to protect Stephen Miller. Watch!

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

It’s really strange the vice president of the United States is a white supremacist, who says white supremacist slogans, who publicly praises and follows the work of white supremacists, and it’s simply not mentioned or discussed in political media

From DHS, the chief propaganda wing of the regime. "Christmas After Mass Deportation". Scene after scene of happy white people cavorting in holiday joy (with plenty of Trump mixed in). Deranged white nationalist shit.

Americans need to be more aware of the deep rooted conservatism, racism, classism, casteism and model minority complexes of the Indian diaspora, especially the Hindu Indian diaspora.

The main reason why I started @slavecodes.org as slave legislation throughout the Americas does not have a formal digitized and transcribed repository.
When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

In Memphis, Reggie Williams told ProPublica that he was instructed by federal agents to keep his ID on him going forward, as though Black residents of the city were emancipated slaves forced to carry freedom papers lest they be kidnapped and returned to bondage.

Saying that immigrants increase homelessness is the most xenophobic way of framing the issue. You could just as easily say that American babies have increased homelessness because they're driving up the population while the housing supply remains limited.

Encouraging undergraduates to *start* with AI, robs them of the skills they need to begin learning how to be a history detective. And when you move up to the graduate level, AI doesn't have access to actual archives. And it cannot produce new knowledge. *YOU* have to do that.
