Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

They’re also attacking financial aid for those making under $300K. ~2/3 of Hopkins med students qualify for the scholarship.

AFL’s argument: “…it is well recognized that race and ethnicity are inseparable from socioeconomic status… Johns Hopkins masks racial preferences behind income thresholds.”

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

🧵Farmers and farm owners generally do not receive the same type of stable monthly income as other US workers. They typically receive a large payment upon sale of seasonal crops. For many, this seasonal lump sum must last until the next harvest and payment is never guaranteed.

THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.
news story about how the MN shooter and wife operate a private armed security company.

The Justice Dept. has authorized law enforcement officers to GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES WITHOUT SEARCH WARRANTS if they suspect that someone is an "alien enemy"

Trump has indefinitely withdrawn federal funding for:
• Investigating child sexual abuse and internet crimes against kids;
• Responding to reports of missing children;
• Preventing youth violence

New, @propublica.org
The Trump Administration’s War on Children
The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

Judge Brinkema asked the government what their position was; do they still have TPS, and if so, how are they being held?

The government said it was their position that they did still have TPS — a confusing answer given what DHS tried to do — then said they were being held as public safety threats.
THE COURT: All right. Thank you. Let me hear the government's response. Well, the first issue is the status of these two people right now today. Are they or are they not, in your view, still under temporary protected status protection? MR. MESSHER: As of today this morning, they have temporary protected status, the both of them. THE COURT: All right. And they will have it, at least through April 1st, is that correct? MR. MEZCHER: That is correct, Your Honor, yes. THE COURT: Then on what basis are they being held in custody zight now? MR. MESGHER: It is the position of Federal Respondents that they are subject to detention under & U.S.C. 1226 (a) because of the fact that they are a threat to public safety.
