Thanks again to all my new followers. I am still in the process of vetting followers. So, be patient as I am not overlooking you. It really helps to have a bio or having had some posts on your page. If you're in a Starter Pack that I am familiar with this also helps.

Thanks again for your patience.

What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.

The government's use of biased, unreliable facial recognition tech to supercharge its mass deportation campaign endangers all of our rights.

Our analysis showed how this narrative grew louder each day. Posts attacking blue mayors. Posts claiming Democrats refuse to jail criminals. Posts saying migrants destroyed cities. Posts declaring urban life hopeless. It is not commentary. It is groundwork for seizure.

The stakes are simple. If they can convince people that cities are collapsing, then taking them over feels like “saving” them. But that is how democracy disappears. People need to see the pattern now. They are laying the groundwork for state control over millions who never voted for it.

If you want a deeper explanation of how states learned to override cities, block their laws, punish local officials, and prepare for takeovers, our explainer breaks it down clearly. Here is the video: youtu.be/oNasCInTJ6I

This strategy is coordinated. ALEC writes the bills. Corporate networks fund them. Project 2025 promotes them. State Policy Network spreads them. Right wing media supplies the crisis. You are watching a full ecosystem work to centralize power in statehouses they already control.

Receivership is the next stage. If you can convince people Austin, Houston, Chicago, LA, NYC are collapsing by design, then state control feels like rescue. But it is not rescue. It is the removal of local democracy and the installation of minority rule from state capitals.

Texas already tested the model with the Death Star Law. One bill wiped out entire categories of city law. Worker safety. Renters rights. Environmental rules. All gone. Other states followed with punitive preemption. Fines. Removals from office. Forced takeovers.

This is not random. It fits every signal we’ve documented this week. The crime panic stories. The migrant fear. The anti trans panic. The “urban collapse” memes. All of it builds a single narrative. Cities cannot govern themselves. Therefore they must be taken over.

Look at the pattern. First they say cities are cesspools. Then they say liberals ruined everything. Then they demand state intervention. Receivership is the culmination. Replace local democracy with rural-dominated legislatures who cannot win cities at the ballot box.

@jennycohn.bsky.social just exposed the next step. Texas lawmakers are now openly discussing putting Democratic cities into state receivership. That means removing locally elected leaders and handing full control to the state. This is not a policy tweak. This is the endgame.

All week the right wing has been pounding the same message. Blue cities are chaotic, broken, and ungovernable. Today we saw the real reason why. They want legal authority to replace elected leaders with state control.

The Lily-White Movement was a forerunner to the Repub “Southern strategy” to gain political support in the South by appealing to white racial prejudice. It helped fuel the Repub Party’s eventual dominance in the South from the second half of the twentieth century to the present day. /end

The Lily-White Movement successfully pushed out many African Americans, who embraced the Democratic Party under FDR’s New Deal coalition. LBJ’s championing of civil rights and voting rights legislation led to a mass shift of African American voters to the Democratic Party in the 1960s. /8

Starting with Texas in 1896, some states explicitly barred Black delegates from Repub conventions. At the national level, Presidents William Howard Taft and Herbert Hoover at times allied with Lily-White factions to build white support in the South, often at the expense of Black leaders. /7

The movement coincided with the broader, Democrat-led effort across Southern states (from 1890-1908) to pass new state constitutions and laws (such as poll taxes and literacy tests) that effectively disenfranchised most Black people and many poor whites, severely reducing the Black vote. /6

The term “Lily-White Movement” was coined by Norris Wright Cuney, a prominent Black Republican leader in Texas, in 1888. The movement created deep internal divisions within the Republican Party, pitting the “Lily-White” (all-white) factions against the “Black-and-Tan” (biracial) factions. /5

The “Lily Whites” believed a racially inclusive party could not be electorally viable in the Jim Crow South. They sought to make the Republican Party an exclusively white, “respectable” organization in the South to attract conservative white voters who were loyal to the Democratic Party. /4

Following the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, African Americans in the South became a vital voting bloc for the Republican Party. This biracial coalition included freedmen, “carpetbaggers” (Northerners who moved South) and “scalawags” (Southern whites who aligned with the GOP). /3
