The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

The right wing knows that the established order in the US has pretty much collapsed and thatā€™s how theyā€™ve managed to assert dictatorial control over society, while allowing billionaires to swoop in and proceed to strip out the copper wiring from this decaying husk of a country.

According to Trumpā€™s longest serving COS, retired Marine General John Kelly, Trump said Hitler ā€˜did some good thingsā€™ and wanted generals like the Nazis. šŸšØ šŸšØ Trump now has his wish and can instruct his loyal military to violence against anyone who is not loyal, no questions asked šŸšØ šŸšØ

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the governmentā€™s lawyers, ā€œhas no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himselfā€ and ā€œonly has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the Presidentā€™s directives.ā€

šŸšØBREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Sharing more townhall videos today because theyā€™re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

They have the votes to impeach and convict him So they are not helpless They are complicit

Please read my latest reflection. There are lies we tell to comfort ourselves. Like Democrats who say we just have to wait two year and Trump will lose control of the House. Like those in Germany who promoted Hitler while believing they could control him. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-reichs...

Officials blast Trump admin 'for doing everything it can' to encourage election interference: The Trump administration has begun dismantling the nationā€™s defenses against foreign interference in voting, a sweeping retreat that has alarmed state and local election officials. The administrationā€¦

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

The National Institutes of Health had to stop considering new grant applications, delaying funding for research into diseases ranging from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and allergies.

But why? Itā€™s a mystery!

And suddenly he's "unqualified" for reasons. The reasons are he's Black. The reason DEI and other programs existed is because left to their own, too many white people would never look at any Black candidate's qualifications on the basis of race. Claiming otherwise is BS.

Iā€™ve never doomscrolled through LinkedIn before. Itā€™s heartbreaking to see so many talented #scientists and science managers in the federal government being discarded, we will all pay a price for this, no exceptionsā€¦šŸ§Ŗ

If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they werenā€™t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

Itā€™s Black History Month. Rather than post factoids Iā€™m just gonna post a picture and a name and yā€™all can google why theyā€™re important. Knowledge for you without a lot of free labor from me. Win win. I give you Bessie Coleman

Not to alarm anyone but the stooge currently serving as acting head of the Social Security Administration, you know, the one w/access to all your personal info, was, as recently as two weeks ago on paid leave b/c career folks thought he was violating multiple privacy and tax laws

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

Itā€™s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.Ā  Ā  He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt. Ā  Congress must investigate.

My open letter to Elon Musk.šŸ‘‡ Mr. Musk, You recently criticized me and another prominent lawyer fighting for the rule of law and democracy in the United States. I am used to being attacked for my work, particularly on the platform you own and dominate. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Yep

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

ā€˜Venture capital is killing more value than it creates,' author and tech activist Catherine Bracy argues in a new book, World Eaters. Silicon Valley needs to focus more on solving real-world problems and less on fast profit, she says.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

šŸšØ BREAKING: Ohio broke the law, illegally depriving 300,000 Ohioans of thousands of dollars (each) in federal unemployment benefits. $900M total. The dollars are still available. In a federal account. But Musk will no doubt be eyeing the funds for billionaire tax cuts. 1/

Misinformation isn't new. In the 18th century,hundreds of thousands died each year of smallpox,but some thought a vaccine would turn them into a cow. Again we see our govt spreading false, anti-vax conspiracies & other lies. Share these to combat it: #CitizenJournalist #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Iā€™m not eligible for Medicare & wonā€™t be for at least 25 years (if itā€™s even still available) but I damn sure voted to protect those benefits for others. Stuff like this is why so many of the 92% & 87% are so frustrated. Why didnā€™t people pay attention? www.yahoo.com/news/trump-c...

Iā€™m begging the media to call Nazi salutes ā€¦ ā€œNazi salutes.ā€ You can write ā€œhe gave a Nazi salute.ā€ Thatā€™s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.
