🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/
WATCH: After six Democratic lawmakers posted a video urging members of the military not to follow illegal orders, Trump erupted online, accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the senators in that video, joins Chris Hayes to respond.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been dissed and ridiculed by the Left for years. Progressives mocked her lies, shredded her conspiracies, exposed her QAnon nonsense, and denounced her cruelty. And through it all she never once feared for her life.

The National Gallery has addressed the toilet/gender dilemma by making facilities gender neutral, individual stalls have floor to ceiling doors and wash basins etc.
Very practical and sensible.

Those who're currently able need to wake the fuck up, & start realising that our whole society is deeply flawed in how we deal with situations & address issues. By not addressing many issues to be inclusive, it facilitates fascism & eugenics. Healthcare, social care, cost of living are all skewed!

She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them”

Farage is complaining that Trump is ‘deeply offended’ by the Panorama programme where part of his speech was edited out…
But - I thought that being offended was ‘woke nonsense’ & unfettered free speech (even if wrong or inaccurate) was to be admired and encouraged?? That fact checking is dead ?

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.
