Trump DOJ has deleted a National Institute of Justice study showing that “white supremacist & far-right violence in the USA outpaces all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.”Per Wayback Machine it was there on 9/12

Fascists erase violent history for one reason—to repeat history.

It is genuinely depressing that people like Ezra Klein have a platform while there are thousands of journalists barely scraping by that could add so much more value to the world if given the same resources.

Thank you @davidcorn.bsky.social for not letting that shit stand for even 24 hours.
NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

It is insane for this to be the only evidence you cite in your editorial about political violence. The far right has been responsible for the majority of terrorist attacks in the United States for years. Republican leaders routinely celebrate extrajudicial killings and refuse to regulate guns.

no the fuck we are NOT making “LGBQ+” a thing and if I see any of you motherfuckers using that acronym it’s on sight

Marsha P. Johnson did not smash in the windshield of a police car for this
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

Musk & Trump are purging non-partisan civil servants, gutting DEI, & firing those who conduct govt oversight.

By installing loyalists, silencing dissent, & dismantling our agencies, they’re laying the groundwork for corruption & authoritarianism.

We must & we will fight back.

Fascism is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan Muslim refugees who helped USA against the Taliban—but now issues an Executive Order accepting white Afrikaner South Africans as refugees to the USA.

It was never about justice or national security. It was always about advancing white supremacy.

This is a good action.
If you have ever received treasury payments - tax returns, student loans, financial aid, social security, etc. Call your bank, mortgage company, credit card company, university. Express concerns about the federal personal data breach. Ask how they will protect your information. Put on the pressure!
