According to #Trump, #racism is a big problem in America. But not racism against black Americans and other PoC. No, the true victims of racism are white conservatives. If only they could get together and build a society that privileges them over everyone else. One can dream. 🙄
#Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves declared April 2024 as Confederate Heritage Month in Mississippi, keeping alive a 31-year-old tradition that began in 1993. Beauvoir, the Biloxi, Miss., the museum and historic home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, announced the proclamation in a fb post on Friday, April 12.
Does Nazi Tate Reeves know the confederacy was defeated. This is treason in plain view.
I didn't think it was possible for me to despise #ElonMusk any more, but here we are. This unbelievable #narcissist now wants to fill the sky with #advertising billboards. What a great supplement to that boring night sky! Instead of enjoying nature, we can look at Elon's celestial #whiteSupremacy and #antisemitic hate ads!
Given the soul-consuming rot of #whiteSupremacists, it's not at all surprising when police find additional horrific behavior by them. #Corruption has a tendency to spread, and not remain cloistered in one particular area. I think police should dig into the backgrounds of all these hateful scoundrels. I bet they'd reveal a smorgasbord of horrors.
"Trump’s support is uniquely tied to animus toward minority groups and the white people who align with those groups. An extensive study found that those who had those opinions in 2011, Tea Partiers, almost invariably became part of MAGA.
Very obviously, MAGA is mostly about putting people in their place – trans people, pregnant people, immigrants (you know which kind), Obama people."
"Many Nazis consider themselves Christian, which means that the bigotry in their hearts and the violence that they intend is the thing they worship as their God, which whatever you might think about Christian tenets isn't a Christian tenet."
"On the other hand, I can't help but notice that a frightening number of Christian institutions and leaders and parishioners don't do much to differentiate themselves from these Nazis, at least not in the way they use their religion as a rationale both for their bigotry and for practicing the popular traditional form of violence known as supremacy."
Missing from this vanilla article about "#paganism" in the UK armed forces are any mentions of the fact that all of these #Pagan faiths are rooted in #whiteSupremacy, and are adopted by #whiteSupremacists looking for a way to hide their hateful ideals from the greater public. Clueless articles like this play the role of useful idiot. Whenever you hear about someone in the 21st century adopting paganism, it's almost always a white supremacist hiding in plain sight.
April 4, 1968, #CivilRights leader Reverend #MartinLutherKing Jr., was shot & killed while standing on a balcony of the Lorraine Motel in #Memphis, #Tennessee. Considered one of the greatest Americans to ever live, he was assassinated 56 years ago today.
Today, the family of #CivilRights leader Rev #MartinLutherKing Jr. made a rare visit to #Memphis — where he was assassinated — to mark the 56th anniversary of his murder.
The King family members went to draw attention to what they see as a rising #threat of #PoliticalViolence today.
Rising numbers of people, particularly #Republicans, say such #violence may be necessary to "save our country” & coincides w/ #Trump stepping up his violent rhetoric.
#MLK’s son, #MartinLutherKing III, said the family feels it's important to be there in an #election yr, "This is the first yr that we actually are going back as a family to #Memphis, & we felt that it was extraordinarily important…," said King III's wife, Arndrea Waters King.
She said the King family sees little difference between the #violent rhetoric coming from some #ChristianNationalists today & the violent rhetoric from the #KKK 60 yrs ago.
King III says #civility in #politics is diminishing, & he worries that more lives will be lost unless the nation recommits itself to #nonviolence, as his father preached.
"We believe we have to go into difficult areas, to use our platform, to use our voice to lift up what we believe is #good, #just & #right. And so we're willing to make a sacrifice" to visit #Memphis despite the painful memories it brings, he said.
Trump said at a "messaging event" in #GrandRapids, #Michigan, "It's a very bad thing happening. It's going to end on the day that I take office, which will be Jan 20."
He lied about the #PublicSafety dangers from #migrants, repeating a favorite term of his "Biden migrant crime."
"The #suburban#housewives actually like Donald #Trump, you know why, because I'm the one who's gonna keep them safe ... If you don't want illegal aliens crawling through your windows & ransacking your drawers, then you must vote for .. the fact that we have to throw crooked Joe Biden out of office.”
#HouseRepublicans urged Schumer to "schedule a trial on the matter expeditiously."
#Schumer & his staff have promised to start the process of swearing senators in as jurors the day after the articles are received in the chamber. Washington Senator Patty Murray, the #Senate President Pro Tempore, will preside over the #Mayorkas#impeachment trial.
The #settlement declares that actions taken by the fmr Reedy Creek special taxing district (#RCID) days before it was taken over by #DeSantis appointees would be “null & void.” That included a long-lasting development agreement that would have greatly limited what the new board could do.
The #Florida State Board of #Education, which was sued along w/ the Department of Education, is required to send the agreement to every school district under the settlement terms.
If you show the value of a victim, you feel empathy. This increases the desire for equality but you feel bad: it endangers your health.
On the contrary, iIf you stress the mistake of a victim, you protect yourself: you feel like it should not happen to you. Society supports such detachment if the perpetrator is a white man or a police(wo)man.
Blaming the victim justifies inequality, discriminations, violence by the strongest. It normalizes (adult, white, male or cis) privileges. Therefore it normalizes patriarchy and white supremacy.
