The more disturbing features of this post are the caption and attribution, which total 14 words, and the two capitalized letter Hs.

the obvious racism aside, the irony of their use of this image is that the book "progress" is holding is literally a "school book" — this is the administration that just dismantled the department of education, cutting billions to public schools around the country
Thread:The White House and the us government are posting what can only be seen as overt white power propaganda from official channels and this image by John Gast could not make it any more clear that Trump and the Republicans brand of fascism is deeply tied to the frontier myth and its white terror.

Taking this to mean trans people are superior to cis people in logic and games abilities. Very cool of us.
IT’S FUCKING CHESS
What POSSIBLE advantage, even in the warped mind of a transphobe, could being transgender give you at chess? They’re so nakedly hateful they just can’t stand any trans person winning anything ever. Pathetic.

This isn’t about deporting undocumented immigrants this is about going after people who are not white!

This is correct. You do to nazis what the people of Italy did to Mussolini. They were right to do it and they set an example.
you can't vote nazis out of power. you can't legislate nazis out of power. you can't litigate nazis out of power. there's only one way you can remove nazis from power. every moment we delay in accepting that fact is a moment in which they're advancing their plans against us.

The flight attendants who spoke with ProPublica believed those lives were not worthless. That, many of them told me, is why they no longer fly for ICE Air. It’s also why they decided to share their stories: tinyurl.com/bdz5dc5f 10/

y'all could have had eight years of this man in the oval office fighting fascists and righting the wrongs that made their agenda attractive in the first place but he was too "radical" and "jewy" for you and now we have a state that wants to jail every jew like him who opposes trump & supports gazans
Rather than bunker down, Sanders is in the arena, communicating that he is a fighter, that he’s not cowed, and that he’s willing to take on Trump and his kleptocratic regime.

Plans to end the federal income tax exemption for credit unions would effectively tax over 100 million American customers. As not-for-profit cooperatives, credit unions offer better rates and lower fees, often serving communities neglected by for-profit banks. Tell Congress: Don't tax credit unions!

1. In a devastating ruling, the traditionally progressive 9th Circuit Court has allowed Idaho's bathroom ban for trans students.
They rule that "common experience" is enough to assume trans students are a harm to cis ones.
The panel was majority Dem appointed.

9th Circuit Upholds Bathroom Ban, Says Trans Students Violate Cis People's Privacy
The ruling, the first of its kind, asserts that the rights of cisgender people to not have a transgender person in the same bathroom are more important than the equal protection of trans students.

This is how state violence functions. Elon Musk and Trump will kill people in droves with their entirely arbitrary, unchecked decisions never looking any of their victims in the eye, meanwhile, the people who will be targeted and punished by the state are the ones who protest this cruelty
Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.
There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
