In my lifetime, I have read probably 10,000 stories about municipal government in some place or other… and this is easily in the top 5.

Jasmine Crockett nailed it! She explains EXACTLY why MAGA is going after DEI.

" They don't want any more Kamala Harris's. They don't want any more Jasmine Crockett's. But I got news for them. I don't care what they do. We will fight to the end to make sure that we get our due."

This is, in part, why folks like Sherman and Sheridan advocated for the total destruction of the Confederacy. They were fully aware that anything short of its complete destruction and the prosecution of former Confederates would lead to the maintenance of the ideology of the CSA.
There's something I need my fellow white USians to understand.

The Confederate States of America was one of the most brutal, repressive regimes in history. Like Nazi Germany, for all its talk of freedom for the upper racial caste, anyone who even sympathized with the lower castes was killed.

As much as they supported this regime and they didn't get picked, lololol...
Trump cutting off access to the Press is just the beginning. We warned them, but they clearly didn’t listen. And in the end, the American people will pay the price for it. Lies and fake news manufactured by the White House, looks to become the norm.
They Obeyed In Advance, Trump Still Made Them Pay

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

This aged well.
Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.

Ima repost this every time Trump implements a new tariff 👇
“In 1930, the Republicans in an effort to alleviate the effects of the Great Depression, passed the The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act which (Anyone?) raised tariffs in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? It did not work, and the US sank deeper into the Depression.”

He's taking us back about 3 three centuries.

Very clever way to knock out another voting block of folks too.
Trump will disenfranchise most of us if he gets his way. We will never "have" to vote again.

Unreal — after Impact Plastics workers died in the floods during the East TN storm because they didn’t get out in time (allegedly they weren’t allowed to leave), the company sent families of the deceased workers fast food gift cards. 😳

"The same government that maintains a sprawling surveillance apparatus targeting Muslim communities, operates a discriminatory watchlist system, and continues to run Guantanamo Bay now wants to lecture America about 'countering Islamophobia.' The contempt for Muslim lives ... is staggering."

Elected Ds who complain about "wokeness" or whatever are clowning themselves and covering up their failure. They're failing to counter bigotry AND failing to improve the lives of working people. More goofy social media accounts won't fix that. Gotta fix the actual policies.
