i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's
Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades
Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

“The administration wrote to several grantees working on maternal health that while ‘maternal and infant health are important issues,’ their work ‘does not advance minority health with regards to OMH’s current priority areas.’”

What’s important to know is that prevention is key for cyclosporiasis because the ONLY surefire cure is Bactrim.
Unfortunately many people (ME) are allergic to sulfa drugs and the only way you find that out is when your tongue swells in your mouth and you break out in hives like I did

When people die and the media says they had “pre-existing conditions”… they’re pacifying the public.
Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you.
It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly.
The expendable people.
Eugenics.

Why bother calling your Senator and telling them to vote NO on Todd Blanche for Attorney General even though Trump will keep him in the job regardless? Because history should record the NO vote.
You’ll want it on the record that we rejected him. That’s why.

run them out of every part of polite society. years ago sarah huckabee sanders was asked to leave a restaurant and there was much clutching of pearls, but this is exactly what SHOULD happen when you enable a fascist regime.
Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened.
We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.
