Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.

THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.

These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.

This Is Fascism.

Call your reps!

Script: "I'm [name with spelling], and I'm a constituent from [city, zip code]. I'm calling [senator/rep] to demand they do something to prevent the FDA from rolling back critical vaccines for children.

It's dangerously anti-science and will do harm."

This list was 1,475 long this morning.

Trump's spiritual advisor is number 1,313. He's in prison for raping a 12 year old girl. The TDS guy is number 1,381.

That's this is only ever local news also seems like a problem with American political journalism.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop.

This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

FUCK ICE FOREVER
After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion

Meaning—if a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executed😐

Ending Black History Month & banning books by Ta-Nehisi Coates is a dark echo of the ways the military has been used in the past to advance racial rights in America.

Frederick Douglass understood Black military service could help achieve citizenship. Truman saw integration as democratic necessity.
I wrote about Tuesday’s Quantico fascism fest. Something I think it’s important to stress is that the military can be a place for advancing social policy, for good or ill.

Hegseth is using it to implement his white Christian nationalist views. www.liberalcurrents.com/war-fighters...

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.
