The banner of the 22nd U.S. Colored Troops Regiment from the Civil War. It depicts a black Union soldier pointing a bayonet into the chest of a surrendering Confederate soldier. The text at the top reads "Sic semper tyrannis."

screencaps from king of the hill. a character holds a sign up to a window, pointing angrily. the sign reads, "appealing to the right costs you support on the left and does not meaningfully convince the right wing to support you." the second frame shows an adult scolding the character reading, "if those pundits could read they'd be very upset."

A screenshot of the last three paragraphs of the CNN story I linked in the first post. It reads: " After announcing the honorees, the president offered some thoughts of his own about homeless people. As part of his plan to make Washington “beautiful”—now that he has taken over the city’s police department and dispatched federal officers and the National Guard — Trump said, “We’re going to have to remove the tents and the people that are living in our parks.” “They’re saying ‘he’s a dictator,’” Trump said of critics of his current approach to governance. “Instead of saying ‘he’s a dictator,’ they should say ‘We’re going to join him.’” The president promised more intervention in cities beyond D.C., including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York: “Our whole country is going to be so different.” “I don’t want to call a national emergency,” he said, “but if I have to I will.”"

THIS is your fucking story, THIS is the harm the president is inflicting on the most desperate in our society, and you spend the opening paragraph saying "He's just like us." I have basic compassion, Choire. I have empathy, Choire. Do you? Do you care about the job you do?

An image of the 22nd U.S. Colored Troops regimental flag. On a blue field, there is a realistic painting of a black Union soldier driving a bayonet into the stomach of a surrendering Confederate soldier. In a banner on the top, it reads "Sic semper tyrannis." On a banner along the bottom, it reads "22th Regt. U.S. Colored Troops."

glad to meet with congressman Gabe Evans. I have to say, he's much more charming in person.

a diagram labeled "the ten stages of genocide." there is a red arrow superimposed, pointing at "Stage one: Classification. The differences between people are not respected. There’s a division of ‘us’ and ‘them’ which can be carried out using stereotypes, or excluding people who are perceived to be different." The other 9 steps are Symbolization, Discrimination, Dehumanization, Organization, Polarization, Preparation, Persecution, Extermination, and Denial.
