Right wing authoritarians gain acceptance and power through the normalization of their absurd supremacist values and cruelty by nice "pragmatists" and opportunists with good grammar and nice clothes in business, media, and politics.

This is why I follow historians on social media. I had to refresh my memory on the Wilmington Massacre, which was a white supremacist coup & massacre that restored white supremacist control of North Carolina. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmingto…

Yazan Tamimi is a 11 year old boy. He has muscle dystrophy, and uses a wheelchair. He and his parents fled Gaza, where their friends and family were being blown up. They came to Iceland looking for peace. For the first time in his life, Yazan has been able to get treatment for

"People in Gaza have gone from an average of 2 meals a day to 1 meal every other day ...A record low average of 69 aid trucks/day entered in Aug 2024, compared to 500 per day last year, already not enough to meet people’s needs" -new statement from CARE (care.org) Save the Children US & more

Their golden child JD is literally doing fascism. Musk is flooding the zone to destabilize institutions. This is what they paid for.

I keep thinking about the criminalization of poverty today. Being homeless is grounds for arrest, or worse. Being hungry and stealing food is a punishable offense. And lacking $2.90 for a subway can be met with death. When in truth these all indict the system, not the individual.

Not sure any European historian can watch Starmer flatter Meloni without feeling a shiver. How quickly she has been normalised, and how rapid the full-on fascist turn has been in migration policy. Of course, it's more complicated than that, but the symbolism is still devastating.

It’s outrageous a so-called “Labour” Prime-minister is openly endorsing neo-fascist Meloni and the policy that legitimates the far-right’s world-view weeks after the recent UK race riots and pogroms.

That “remarkable progress” includes preventing search & rescue organizations from aiding sinking migrant vessels & working w/ Libyan anti-migrant forces that the UN describes as having committed crimes against humanity

The $ settlements for NYPD abuse doesn’t come out of their budget. It comes out of the broader city budget. They pay no price for abusing New Yorkers & breaking laws. The biggest consequence is losing vacation days, and their cronies in govt raise hell if that’s even suggested.

If converting personal communications devices into IEDs isn’t an act of terrorism then I don’t know what is.

I watched the entire hearing. I was supposed to be in the room but could not make it. This was a dehumanizing experience but in reality it showcased the exact reason why we need to address hate crimes. The assumption that an Arab is inherently a terrorist bc of their identity is

MSM has been seeding bigotry. Media Matters for America found just between Jan 2019 - Jul 2021, there were over 200 articles in US MAINSTREAM news outlets that portrayed people who work at ANTI-immigrant orgs as subject matter "experts" on immigration. yesmagazine.org/opinion/2022/0…

An elected rep. openly peddling in racist tropes at a hearing on hate speech perfectly sums up the current state of American politics.

Terrifying how successfully mainstream media and mainstream politicians have normalized the sociopathic ideology of anti-migration. Migration is an adaptation that literally makes it possible for animal species (including humans) at the individual AND group levels, to survive.

The racist, Islamophobic tropes used by many Members of Congress are intended to suppress our voices and incite violence against us. It’s disgusting how many of my colleagues are silent when hate is directed like this against Arabs and Muslims.
