It's beyond Obama. The bigger truth is about Black progress in America in the 20th/ 21st century-- Black advancement helps open the doors for so many other marginalized groups to rise. They want to kill the path of govt/educational/ career advancement for EVERYONE not white, straight, and male.

Note how most of the audience sits and watches approvingly.

It is a twisted combination of funny and frustrating that every Nazi dog whistle they did over the past decade plus, yes, including that OK symbol thing, got downplayed into oblivion by many of the people who feel like they are just all of the sudden heiling out of nowhere.

cheerleaders are athletes, part one million in a series

Signed up for my motorcycle endorsement class. Was thinking about doing it in the summer but .. nah I need to be able to use it as transportation for certain types of events

ADHD medication targets the disease. They are targeting the medication as one step in targeting the people.

Mozilla/ EFF/ anybody come out and say they were going to actually commit to dealing with racism and tech and supporting Black folks and immigrants ?

When it comes to neurodivergence, the only “cure” I can think of is to stamp it out at the genetic level. So…eugenics. That is clearly the logical endpoint of the White House’s stance, and Erin is right

“High agency” sounds like another way to say “everyone else is an NPC.”

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

"The only way to cut $1 trillion by September 30 is to gut entire agencies and all of their services, which families rely on."

remember when jemele hill lost her job for calling trump a white supremacist

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

This absolutely fucks me. This absolutely fucks me. This absolutely fucks me. I NEED telehealth. Please contact your reps and tell them to fight this. This is going to harm so many people. Do this for me.

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

Stop calling these acts of deliberate malicious destruction mistakes — if you close your eyes and fire machine gun spray ceaselessly into a crowd claiming you just want to scare some of them off, it’s not a mistake that there are casualties.

I have a little context to add to this outstanding reporting. ICE lawyer James Rodden is a devout white christian nationalist who has appeared in the network built around the Lutheran nazi podcast Stone Choir. He has promoted it & has regularly interacted w co-host Ryan Dumperth aka Treblewoe. 1/

Literally today someone said we needed to be reminded of the JA incarceration so "it never happens again" and I was beside myself. IT IS HAPPENING. if you're willing to listen to a Japanese person talk about it but not a Hmong or Honduran or Haitian person you're a 🎶fuckinnnnggg racist🎶
