Divide & Conquer.

Oldest trick in the book.

Somehow, progressives still fall for it most elections, break the line, refuse to condition their votes, and turn on their allies to try and browbeat them into reinforcing a narrative & stan for a group that has dedicated itself to undermining them.
Ways the 1% divide the PEOPLE:
Race
Gender
Income
Religion
Location
Region
Immigration status
Education
Employment
Political party
(and more)

They divide us so that we do not UNITE against them & TAKE BACK ALL THAT BELONGS TO US.

Don’t let them divide us. BLAME THEM. Not each other.

This is what happens when you have two major parties that both serve the same wealthy interests & their constituents both think a small group of entitled individuals are worthy of and deserve the majority of wealth that is created.

Education is good until it gets in the way of their profit.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

If you are citing the bible more than the required readings, you have no business being in college.

We went from people fighting for their right to education and learning to people fighting against education and their right to indoctrinate others.

These are educational institutions.

WTF?
Professors are taking the brunt of the storm as new fights over the teaching of gender and race erupt in college classrooms.

The recent fights, experts say, will no doubt have an effect on professors and could create a greater divide between red and blue states.

Why can't the Democratic party be reformed?

Because not a single group within the party conditions their votes or holds them accountable.

Why?

Republicans are worse.

They will always be worse.

That is the entire point.

The illusion of choice.

Every policy we associate with social democracy is an insufficient half-measure designed to give people just enough so that they lose the impetus to abolish capitalism. The US is such a right wing horror show that real socialism is never even presented as an option, only social democracy.

The people who greenlit genocide are super offended.

Strange, b/c they both held the same position on genocide.

The worst crime imaginable.

Constituents were not asking to abandon Israel.

They were simply asking that the Democratic admin condition aid to international & domestic law.
