Somehow, I am beginning to grow accustomed to Trump's aberrant behaviour.
I am even accepting the fact that the US has changed from being the good guys to a rogue state run by a corrupt felon who should have really been in prison and not residing in the Whitehouse.
That's life.

Capitalism breeds racism, hypocrisy, hatred, institutional oppression and greed

brooklyn909.bsky.social•5 days ago

No surprise here. Fascists, many cops and maga republikkkans want no accountability for their racism.

bryanttl1953.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, this is indeed a step backward. This administration has made it clear that they are only going to protect themselves and some of the Trumplican party. I read the other day that Mr Floyd was not dead and someone else saying he wasn’t murdered. MAGA believes this, even with video showing it all.

Everything about this administration is taking us backwards, back to the freaking Stone age where no one has rights except the rich and powerful.

DON'T mistake this for innocent government action.
This is RACISM at work.
I remember George Floyd. And I remember his pleas for his mother as a white, black-souled policeman, squeezed the life out of him.
DO NOT FORGET

But Babbitt's family gets 5 million dollars. I hate it here.

This DOJ is a disgrace.

geegee964.bsky.social•5 days ago

No, the people in the current administration’s Justice Department are a disgrace.

sharjan33.bsky.social•5 days ago

The new DOJ is not going practice fairness in any manner.

gbfungal.bsky.social•6 days ago

It’s been shown time and time again, violent people placed in positions of power kill. The police departments are no different if they hire people with those qualities. So terrible we can’t weed those types out.

But this is what the Orange Charlatan is all about!

Not shocking at all. Sad more than anything what

Justice dept needs their asses called in to ICE.

1/This is sickening and I don’t think this is isolated. This is part of a broader plan. The overpowering of institutions, of progress, is part of what is needed for fascism to succeed. What started under this admin with the politically imprisonment

2/ of those legally here from El Salvador and Venezuela has spread to now include people from Vietnam, Burma, Sudan, and I have lost track. They are now holding a man with a green card who was returning from vacation in Washington state. His wife cannot get information on him.

3/ RFK Jr. wants to make centralized lists of people with disabilities starting with people in the autism community, a diagnosis that can change and even be eliminated. This is very similar to a Nazi playbook.

4/ The commonality is that these individuals may not have the resources or even the language to fight back. Whether they don’t speak English and are provided forms only English, or they are mostly non-talking and cannot communicate well or need an assigned device, what will happen? Who knows.

melissafisherbrown.bsky.social•6 days ago

5/ I guess what I’m saying is, in my mind, to think like the evil based on my knowledge of history and studies of cultures, this disgusting turn of events is the next logical step in an evil mind. Oppress not progress. Overpower without apology. L

melissafisherbrown.bsky.social•6 days ago

6/ and don’t forget that little sentence the GOP slipped in the bill about the Feds and all in the Trump criminal posse being able to ignore orders of contempt. The start of the dismantling of the judicial system. That is fascism.

But Minneapolis said "we are doing it anyway."

Trump wants to use local police as an occupying force to suppress the people

thedogfather6.bsky.social•6 days ago

Look at it this way, police brutality is back on the table. You're going to be real busy. Plus the same DOJ gives a boost to mass shooters, and Poland gets ready to go to war, with or without the U.S. And Abbott and Costello will stop by, too.
