USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

I show this in class when teaching about white Christian nationalism. It amazes me how shocked students are at the Jan 6 images. Many say they didn’t know how bad it was. America’s done a fine job rewriting this narrative. Namely because it refuses to face the terrorist at home.

So glad this brave Capital police officer was awarded the Freedom medal by President Biden.
This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.
In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.
Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

The thing about January 6th that still lingers with me is how quickly and viciously MAGA turned on the Capitol Police. Really hammered home how every alleged principle on the right -- in this case, deference to law enforcement -- will be quickly abandoned if it conflicts with Trump's interests.

As long as we don't deal honestly with white folks' 1) belief in their divine right to rule over everyone else, 2) their belief in inherent supremacy, and 3) their fear of alleged white genocide and replacement by Black and brown people, including immigrants, there will be other Jan 6's.

Tragic more so than successful.
It was absolutely successful.
Wrote this on January 6, 2024:
“If the insurrectionist-in-chief returns to power without ever facing any real consequences and while explicitly declaring his intent to establish a vindictive autocracy, then January 6 will have been successful.”
One year later, here we are.

I am still invested in the frail and failing democracy that is this country. My enslaved ancestors worked too hard to push my family and others forward. But honestly, I feel like America's FAFO era will hurt not only those who have been despised by the incoming administration, but it's supporters.

People didn’t want to boycott the things/corporations that make our lives easier bc it was inconvenient. It will be interesting to see how bad life has to get to see there’s no other way. The fight for freedom and justice for all is uncomfortable + dangerous. Yet better than complete subjection.

This is the worst part:
1) to trash his employees as unprofessional & in essence lay them off ; 2) to acquiesce to a biased right-wing smear of an entire state and; 3) to follow Musk meekly to Texas, a place of unbridled political corruption, &anti-democratic &bigoted policies that imperil women.

This part is legitimately sad for Meta employees. Imagine your boss simply capitulating to vibes and implying you were unprofessional, for purely political reasons.
