I think part of the goal is a demonstration of his punitive power. He is showing he can punish wide swaths of the public at the stroke of a pen, to train people in fear and submission.

The Trump regimes logic seems to break the society into fragments by attacking public/private entities so that oligarchic interests can absorb the valuable pieces and take advantage of weakened and demoralized workers. Destroying the instruments of common good, make us all vulnerable individuals.

This is the right kind of messaging.

The human rights violations multiply until they have no meaning.

I feel the same about Batman movies

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

If you want to understand that the Trump mission is to preserve access for white mediocrity than observe that he believes a drunken, abusive part-time Fox host is equivalent to a 4 Star Army General (Ret) to be the Secretary of Defense. Well Hegseth did promise to stop drinking. So there's that.

Civil rights were won through protests and lawsuits and literally fighting back. We are not in unprecedented times. We are in a horrible reboot of Reconstruction. Fight in every way possible. Flood those anti DEI tiplines with misinformation, spend 10 minutes every day telling your reps to stop this

Yes and we are going to see a flood of voter suppression laws that will be supported by federal judges and if not, they will be heard by the SC.

This is not just about undocumented immigrants. This is also the desire to determine "citizenship" at hegemonic will. Rich white men will determine e who is a citizen. Not just for deportation but to have a servile labor force unprotected by American law.

And to win back the Sen and House to enact impeachment, you will need the hoopleheads that voted him in, to vote against the GOP. Oh wait the SC gave him absolute immunity.

So many white women believed his bullshit about leaving it up the the states. They voted for state referendums to protect abortion then voted for Trump because they believed white supremacy and choice would live side by side. Welp, 🤷🏿‍♂️. #FoundOut

A simple dive into Trump's psyche suggests he hates himself so much, that he will destroy the society to erase any reflection of what he knows he is not.

The attack on cancer research is motivated by Trump's desire to destroy what he thinks Biden most values. Like his attempt to destroy the ACA because of Obamaphilia, he knows curing cancer was a huge priority for Biden. Nothing else makes sense.

The modern GOP did not begin with the Southern Strategy it began with Brown v. Board of Ed. Once the two parties started disagreeing on the most basic belief of the US (Negro inferiority) then the parties/factions could no longer be reconciled. Black servitude is white America's great unifier.

The GOP never cared about these things. It has all been window dressing to get to this point.

Tbh, the history of America is a litany of incremental steps towards equity consistently fucked over by white supremacists.

So slavery, is what you are saying. That tracks.

Bingo. It was all a PR stunt

You aren't one vote does not an alliance make. Everything McConnell has done lead up to that vote. Fuck him I pray he has a conscience and believes in Hell.

MERITOCRACY my ass. DEI for White, incompetent, ethically compromised men: contrarian.substack.com/p/the-greate...

What the far right is building is global apartheid, just so you know.

Heads up! The @aclu.org Immigrant Rights Project has an EXCELLENT online resource available in multiple languages to walk immigrants or advocates through various scenarios of encounters with immigration officials or police. It includes contact #s for local ACLU offices. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

My mother always says, "Some people don't believe fat meat is greasy." Some people bout to find out.

To the women that voted for your state abortions referendums and voted for Trump, welp. 🤷🏿‍♂️

It's a return of the Fugitive Slave Act.

Well for states with lower tax rates that will greatly diminish their ability to access revenue to handle the inevitable natural disasters. #FAFO

They are attempting to purge people of color from all public and private institutional and organizational opportunities. It's called Resegregation.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

They don’t want to rent to you. They don’t want to work with you. They don’t want to be your healthcare provider. And now there is nothing you can do about it. Not like we ever could do anything about it, but now any protections you had from this are gone.
