When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

So, if they're defunding USAID, VOA, VA, Medicaid, libraries, museums, public education, FEMA. Screwing with ACA, PBS, FDIC, SS, and Medicare or whatever else is on their shortlist. What are we paying taxes for? It's not like they're doing anything to help us, just taking stuff away.

Grant that ‘would have fed thousands’ on SD Native American reservation lost to Trump cuts
The Trump administration’s efforts to claw back federal grant money, led by the world’s richest person, will affect access to fresh fruit for some of the nation’s poorest people.

It feels like “the national debt” is a big boogeyman that politicians bring up whenever they don’t want to vote for something. I wonder at what point in history citizens were conditioned to care about it?

The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now.
Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI.
This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

I was thinking this exactly. When is the last time these guys flew commercial?
The folks who want to cut the FAA and endanger us all are people who fly in Air Force 1 and on private jets - not commercial like the rest of us whose lives will be placed at risk.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Trump's freezing of all civil rights cases at the DOJ is not part of an anti-DEI agenda, but an anti-civil rights agenda. DOJ was *founded* to protect Black rights during Reconstruction. That this difference is unclear speaks to the success of conservative propagandists and the failures of liberals.

The acronym DEI should’ve never been popularized. It should be spelled out every single time. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It’s too easy to strip rights away when you shorten it to an acronym.
