Pete Hegseth is a white supremacist. Openly. He has the tattoo on his chest. He's been firing anyone non-white calling them DEI promotion. He is openly racist. These scumbags need to be put in their place

Pete Hegseth in December on military training: “We’re bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”

that's Trump's and MAGA's kinda guy. Misogyny is strongest in some, racism is strongest in others, but they all share those traits.

This is one of my favorite posts from @hcrichardson.bsky.social It strikes directly into the misconception so many people have about Mexicans in the US. Awareness and an understanding of history can completely change the way someone sees something. And in the comments is a map for context.

It’s long past time you all stopped using “Congress” when you mean “Republicans”. Not a single Democrat voted for this hot mess of an appointment. This endless grind to maintain a non-partisan tone, despite the partisanship of our fascist reality, is willfully blind, & a betrayal of your country.

Trump's troops are making federal cases out of low-level arrests — such as possession of an open container — in DC. Meanwhile, his administration has rolled back enforcement actions against 165 lawbreaking corporations since January. "Tough on crime."

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

The news that Trump has taken 10% of INTEL and did not pay any money for it takes us back to 4/7/33 and this New York Times article about the Nazis taking over corporate control. Hitler didn't pay anything for it, either. If the Nazis had the foresight to patent dictatorship, they'd cash in now.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
