I think the evidence is overwhelming. Have the Fox watchers seen none of it? Or are they still into worshiping whatever the gilt-clad idiot says however absurd? What do folks think when someone says prices have gone down 1000% (when100% is free)?
Has Trump totally lost it? Watch!
It’s one thing to read about his mental decline, another to see it. That’s why this video is so important.

To all state law enforcement:
ICE and other federal agencies are giving you a bad reputation.

Remember, you work for and serve the people in your charge.
Treat them as you want them to treat you...
As for ICE, a bunch of want to be mall cops with a dictator in charge.
Their reckoning will come.

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

A catalog of raw bigotry and openly racist immigration policy. Apparently thinking 1924 was the greatest, and that the KKK was right.
Trump’s Attack on Somali Americans Is Vile Fascism
He’s testing our country’s tolerance for ethnic persecution. And we’re failing the test.

In-person action seeds the deeper organizing that sustains movements: mutual aid, boycotts, coalition-building. The infrastructure matters as much as the march.

Social movements have to do more than mobilize in single events, no matter how large. The next steps are clearly explained here. Get on board with what is being organized and add your efforts to the organizing work. Nobody does it alone.

#Sociology friends, this applies to us too!
One casualty in the Trump administration’s war on higher education is federal funding for area studies. This harms students, scholars, and U.S. national security.

It also comes at a time in which political science and area studies are more compatible than ever before. Read on for new research!
