I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

I've mentioned how I came to the US on a Fulbright, and met my wife-to-be, then years later was seated at dinner beside Fulbright's widow, who said this kind of connection was why he had wanted the program. Trump is building an America that no-one will want to come to or have anything to do with.

Now that I am finished screaming into the void about schooling for kids with disabilities being assigned to RFK: understand what this means. He’s lumping accommodations into HHS, meaning those needs are now considered medicalized. Different from everyday education. This is eugenics.

The premise here, just to spell it out, is that no black person, woman, queer person, etc., has EVER genuinely accomplished something. Every time it ever seemed like they had, it was just white people virtue-signaling by using them as tokens or whatever Or in other words that they're natural slaves

This is a chilling development but as many have eloquently stated, DEI per se is not illegal. Rather than fighting that legal battle which would surely fail, they are using fear tactics to discourage progressive education and inclusive practices that ensure all students feel welcome.
