Exactly. Trump and Miller want to make El Salvador their Generalgouvernement, and Bukele is stepping up to be their Hans Frank.

I'm a one-issue voter in the 2028 presidential election (besides that I'd like to have one), and that's: You will solemnly swear to put these Nazis on trial. All of them.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

All universities right now need to be making this case to the public why universities and our scientific research matters. But let’s promote our humanities and social sciences too!

These two posts: * “We need to treat antifa and BLM like terrorist organizations,” said Joe Kent, Trump’s pick to lead counter-terrorism efforts. * Trump to Bukele (president of El Salvador): “Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It’s not big enough.” 1/

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Both still need donations. If you heard about the terrible #PalmSunday attack on civilians in #Sumy #Ukraine, one way of supporting is to donate and repost.

Reality becomes memory, memory becomes a dream, and eventually the dream becomes history. From history, reality is reborn all over again. I hope the future America which emerges from the wreckage uses this book and its core values as a key historical text.

This picture of Whitmer is a legitimately stunningly perfect depiction of the Democratic Party right now. A bunch of fucking cowards capitulating and complying. Secretly totally on board with fascism while hiding behind their labels and “lesser of two evils you have no choice but to vote for me”.

This is one of the closest Nazi parallels the Trump White House has yet announced. I know because I actually saw a recreation of the original 1937 Nazi “Entartete Kunst” (Degenerate Art) exhibit at the Smithsonian in 1991. They assembled 200 of the original 650 works. It was a sight to behold.

FYI: if you're in the mid Atlantic, the US Geological Survey has a list of native plants you can plant that will be good for native pollinators (which includes blueberry bushes...). you can get seed packs that include perennials so you don't have to replant all the time www.usgs.gov/centers/eesc...
