Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner🤡

When there weren't enough bank examiners on the beat, SVB and Signature Bank failed, requiring big bailouts.

The FDIC should explain why it’s now axing even more examiners whose job it is to make sure big banks don't crash our economy.

Banking regulator rescinds more than 200 job offers for examiners it needs
A government-wide hiring freeze is adding to a staffing shortage at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., complicating the agency’s efforts to oversee thousands of banks across the country.

I beg you if you haven't read any of Project 2025 please do! The first 16 pages tell you a lot. We need to stop being shocked by everything. This is a plug-&-play administration & it's all right there. Once we're clear-eyed about where it's going we can focus on what, if anything, we can do about it

On Auschwitz Memorial Day, I find myself heartbroken by the tragic irony of our current trajectory towards facism. We have learned nothing. The parallels are clear, yet it appears that we have learned nothing. The victims may be different but the playbook is the same. We have learned nothing.

Does the new deal w Colombia address this at all ?
Yes, the deportees were in shackles. The crime they committed was having no documentation. That is not violent criminals.

White supremacy is fundamentally a system of plunder, taking wages, opportunities, & resources from marginalized groups. But as is hopefully clear by now, the predator class has never stopped with targeted communities. Eventually, whoever you are, the fascists will come for you, too.
If ICE wanted to pick up undocumented workers, they could go agricultural fields anywhere in the country, but that would piss off right-wing agribusiness.

It seems to me that this all is most about inflicting state terror on the weak and marginalized while freezing in place white supremacy

Tufts lecturers are on strike starting Monday! Post a selfie with a message of support for them. Every person standing with them boosts their confidence and strengthens their position.

If you're not local to Boston, this is one way you can help.

They’re not rolling back DEI, they’re dismantling entire civil rights apparatus and re-establishing segregation. They’re recreating how things were in Jim Crow AND Nazi Germany. Combination of Jim Crow and Nuremberg Laws. That’s what’s happening. So we fight. We live fighting. We die fighting.
