Dog whistles have turned into megaphones
For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.

A government that prioritizes a small group of wealthy individuals is actively hostile to the larger society that it controls.

They’re intent on making sure the rest of the world will never trust the U.S. again. I’m not saying our foreign policy has been flawless in the past but what are we doing?!?!

Ben Shapiro is finding out that the monster he created was actually designed to eat him, too. Maybe he could have opened a history book to the part about the late 1930s/early 1940s to see how that was destined to turn out.

A reminder that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra’s parents emigrated here during a period when Italians were considered to be a genetically inferior and criminal-minded underclass that Stephen Miller’s racist predecessors said should be excluded from America

At this point, I think it’s fair to say that conservatives have successfully turned their political aspirations into their actual religion. The stuff they do on Sundays is just part of their routine now.
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

The fact that every other professor at OU didn't stage a strike - and yes - risk their careers - over this - is goddamn disappointing.
This is the future that awaits them if they don't resist it.

They took the groceries because they’re not just here to enforce the “law”. They’re here to show minorities how they really feel about America being a multicultural society.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Astonishing feat!
US will break its record for the warmest Christmas by ~5°F! That’s remarkable.
Anomalies are up to +40°F in the nation’s middle and as you can see the US has the warmest air - relative to average - in the World!

ICE agent recognized out Christmas shopping—throws tantrum when citizens profile him.
"We're trying to prevent you from kidnapping our neighbors," they say.
"I'm not doing anything but walking, leave me alone!" he yells.

A very appropriate message!!! Meanwhile, conservatives say that Christians are being persecuted and treated unfairly in America and that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I'm going to tell my favorite story again about reflecting the certainty of beliefs back at people who don't expect it.
A friend was one of the few Jews on faculty at a North Dakota University. Every year, his colleague in religious studies would invite him to come to his religious studies class...
