Like their intellectual predecessors in the Hitler Youth, the point of TPUSA is to intimidate the educators and students who don’t share ruling party ideology into silence. This is just basic fascism.
Happening now: Texas leaders announcing a rollout of a statewide program to put TPUSA chapters in high schools and colleges across the state. Gov. Abbott adds that schools that stand in the way should be reported to the Texas Education Agency.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

The Roberts Six have thoroughly politicized the Court and turned it into a reliable arm of the RNC.
Democrats should have no reservations about calling them out for it, demanding resignations from these bought-off hacks and running on a promise to enact sweeping reforms.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is
The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

Three late November tropical cyclones have devastated cities and villages in countries around the Indian Ocean.
When "a region unused to tropical cyclones has had three in a week, the world needs to ask why this happened, not look away."

Men will do things like announce “the most popular pie in the country is bad and it’s not debatable” and still be allowed to have jobs and drive cars.
Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.
