85% of CEOs are white men.

All but one US President has been a white man.

65% of all elected offices are held by white men.

Roughly 30% of the population is white men.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

what a twisted argument
They’re also attacking financial aid for those making under $300K. ~2/3 of Hopkins med students qualify for the scholarship.

AFL’s argument: “…it is well recognized that race and ethnicity are inseparable from socioeconomic status… Johns Hopkins masks racial preferences behind income thresholds.”

🧵Farmers and farm owners generally do not receive the same type of stable monthly income as other US workers. They typically receive a large payment upon sale of seasonal crops. For many, this seasonal lump sum must last until the next harvest and payment is never guaranteed.

THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.

Trump has indefinitely withdrawn federal funding for:
• Investigating child sexual abuse and internet crimes against kids;
• Responding to reports of missing children;
• Preventing youth violence
