Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?
In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Some folks refusing to cede:
Michelle Obama.
Tammy Dickworth.
Liz Cheney.
Elizabeth Warren.
Maybe “masculine energy” isn’t what we need more of.

It's so fitting that Donald Trump's inauguration will be held in the Capitol Rotunda, the very place four years ago where his pack of lawless loons ransacked, looted, and smeared their excrement. What an apt metaphor for what the incoming administration plans to do to America.

The Capitol Rotunda has been traditionally used for presidents lying in state.
This Monday, it will be used for a president lying to *all* states.

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

either Section 2 of the 15th Amendment exists or it doesn't and if it exists then there's simply no basis for the idea that the Voting Rights Act is in anyway unconstitutional.
Republicans Keep Insisting Civil Rights Laws Are Unconstitutional Because Racism Is Over
In a new Voting Rights Act challenge, Louisiana argues that the landmark civil rights law is too old and outdated to be legal anymore.

If you have ever answered, “I know, but it’s cute/cool/pretty” when you were told an image you shared was Ai, perhaps you don’t need to be so concerned about whether Meta is fact-checking or not.

These confirmation hearings are just theater.
Do you honestly think Republicans, the party that thinks toxic imbecile Donald Trump is qualified to be president, is going to find *any* white person unqualified for *anything*?
