Progressive tired of incrementalism.

Love corgis, science, reading, Doctor Who, Start Trek, music, photography, and traveling. Favorite movie apropos of this time is “V for Vendetta”.

Let me put it bluntly and just say that it’s convenient how “Haitian pet-eating” claims just disappeared as soon as another Black immigrant community could be more easily turned into a lightning rod for the hate and fear of ignorant and bigoted right-wing Americans.
Do you remember during the election, when it was “pet-eating” Haitians who were “destroying middle America”?

And now the blame has suddenly shifted to “daycare-defrauding” Somalis?

What could Haitians and Somalis possibly have in common that might lead Republicans to target them, I wonder

Homeland Security said Tuesday that it launched what it described as the largest immigration enforcement operation ever carried out, tied to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents in Minnesota. n.pr/4aOMJp5

Sickening — the White House has put up a site about 1/6 painting himself as a hero and Pelosi, The Capitol Police, and Mike Pence as the villains.

An attempt to rewrite history before our eyes.

While a completely false and stupid statement, not one reporter has asked him to prove it! Let’s see all the altered kids and their certified birth certificates to prove the statement. Prove to his followers that he’s full of shit.
"Nobody believes it when I say it. They operate on the kid, they don't tell the parents."

I wonder why nobody believes it?
Trump: "Transgender for everyone! Bring your kids in, we're gonna change the sex of your child. Just send them our way. In some cases, like in Minnesota, they don't even tell the parents. Nobody believes it when I say it. They operate on the kid, they don't tell the parents. It's not believable."

No amount of revisionist history will change the fact that trump is guilty AF of an insurrection and people died when his delusional cult members stormed the Capitol.

The fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection brings fresh division to the Capitol
On the fifth anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, there is no official event to memorialize what happened that day. And the official plaque honoring the police who defended the Capitol has never been hung.

On January 6th, 2021, when Trump incited an insurrection, America's corporate leaders rushed to distance themselves from him.

Today, as Trump destroys our democracy at home and stages more coups abroad, they're sucking up to him to pad their own bottom lines. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC0v...

This is why I’m pushing for a state escrow account that holds federal funds before sending them on to Washington. If Trump wants to steal our tax dollars that were legally appropriated by Congress, then we should just be paying ourselves.
“Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter.”

Monstrously cruel.
