My Dad, WWII Bronze Star Purple Heart: rolling in his grave over these f-ing actions: peeing on Constitution, lifting up Nazis (even if “neo”), and returning segregation and discrimination to the military. And, service families on SNAP and veteran homelessness!

Read this thread. Systemic racism continues in action in this administration.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

It turns out that nobody will vote for you to care for their children when your leader AND HER HUSBAND get arrested for being sexual predators.

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

If MAGA can’t win, they’ll try to cheat. In New Jersey, Democratic strongholds are being targeted with bomb threats at polling places across Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic counties, forcing brief closures. Do not let this stop you from voting.
Bomb threats close some N.J. polling locations
Polling places in seven counties are affected, though officials say the threats are not credible.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.
Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?
My own colleagues are silent.
