Fascism is when the KKK mass murders at least 5000 Black people & terrorizes millions more, but are still allowed to exist & hold public marches due to "free speech," but Black & brown people are disappeared, deported, & tortured on the mere accusation that they said things the Govt doesn't like.😐

Happy Jackie Robinson Day... “A new breed of Republicans has taken over the GOP. It is a new breed which is seeking to sell to Americans a doctrine which is as old as mankind — the doctrine of racial division, the doctrine of racial prejudice, the doctrine of white supremacy.”- Jackie Robinson.

@nytimes.com headlines "Trump flirts" with defying court orders. Just like he "flirted' with Stormy Daniels. And the Times "flirts" with normalizing tyranny.

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key. That right?

From @theathletic.bsky.social: On the 78th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s breaking of MLB’s color barrier, NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar used a speech to issue a forceful rebuke of President Trump’s efforts to eliminate DEI policies, calling them a “ruse.” nyti.ms/3Gdssw8

📌"He's betrayed our national security. He will do so again. He's compromised our elections. He will do so again. You will not change him. You can't constrain him. He is who he is. Truth matters little to him. What's right matters even less. Decency matters not at all." -Adam Schiff to GOP in 2020

Genuinely perfect encapsulation of Trumpism, if we do something bad, it's your fault for not stopping us. We should all take that to heart. bsky.app/profile/jwmu...

i'm watching a group of conservative law professors insist that there is a grand debate over birthright citizenship that somehow escaped generations of scholarship and only popped into existence after a right-wing president announced an effort to nullify the 14th amendment.

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

On this date was born novelist, playwright, poet, and Nobel laureate Samuel Beckett. Beckett, who would be 116 had he lived, offered a bleak, tragicomic vision of humanity. His writing is such that any deathbed quote we might conjure for him would seem credible, so I can't go on. But I will go on.

If only there were some way for countries with aging populations and declining birth rates to get the labor necessary for economic viability. What if, and I’m just spitballing here, we invited people from poorer more crowded countries to live here? We could call it immigration. Sounds crazy, I know!

Even if you’re a leftist who sees corporate DEI as a con, or a conservative who sees it as the wrong way to address diversity, you should recognize that this has nothing to do with that. It’s powerful corporations aligning themselves with a fascist government, consolidating into a regime.

People learn nothing. Arendt wrote so clearly about the increasing targetting of people, starting with non-nationals, then dual nationals, then a succession of undesirable nationals. Nothing will protect you. Fascism requires an ever larger circle of enemies to blame for its own failings.

At least kinda funny that there’s a long history of movies where villains have complex dastardly plots to crash the global economic system (Goldfinger, Sneakers, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, hell even Fight Club, sorta) when all it takes is making an illiterate reality tv host president
