this is what "white genocide" is, too, btw

the nazi freaks tend to say "the third world is outbreeding us and then showing up to demand our stuff" in public, but an indelible part of their race-math is that when a white person has a mixed-race child that's synonymous with terminating your bloodline
Came across this article in the Jerusalem Post from 2021 while looking up another article… and my god I have never seen anything so Naziesque, so about racial purity & ethnonationalism.

This is the same point bannon was making at CPAC recently. Extremely antisemitic, dangerous stuff.

This is outrageous.

NOT Fun Fact: This is nothing new in this country.

Enslaved Black ppl had to carry documents when away from the planter. Freed Black ppl had to carry manumission (freedom) papers at all times.

Reconstruction, Black ppl had to carry proof of employment or residency.

Not new
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Self-serving (often traitorous) Republican criminality is baked-in at this point.

Nixon colluded as a private citizen, killed the Vietnam peace talks and thousands of Americans and 100s of thousands of Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, and others.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Absolutely staggering to consider the deadweight loss that AI has caused educators in terms of burdening them by making cheating easier, and how little our society's elites care

It seems obvious Trump is compelled to push his mania until he is stopped. He does not have morals, conscience, internal bottom. Anything he can get away with next is what's next. He's a runaway cart going downhill. Our democracy chugged along with good faith even as imperfect as it was. No more.

From 2005 to 2012, one CBP officer or agent was arrested for corruption, crimes, or misconduct EVERY SINGLE DAY. By 2019, it had slowed to just one every 35 hours. Still a huge problem:
“A U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent allegedly used his gun and badge to force his way into hotel rooms and rob and sexually assault at least four prostitutes in Chicago’s suburbs in 2022, according to federal charges made public Tuesday.”

so, this right here? this is one of the absolutely most lawless, brazenly unconstitutional impeachable offenses ever committed by any president other than trump in the history of our country.

like, this is an open and shut case. and it's a case which targeted *republicans.*
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.
