Trump claims he doesn't know if he has an obligation to "uphold the Constitution" despite the fact that he swore an oath to do this very thing in January.
Here's the text of his oath: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
For my English language friends, a little good news from the Netherlands.
Our minister of asylum and migration, an utterly incompetent fascist person called Faber1 , didn’t allow an immigration center to take some asylum seeking kids to enjoy a day in an amusement park.
Something about austerity, and most sober migration regime ever, and taxpayers money. You know, the familiar fascist stuff.
We, those taxpayers, as I write this about 6.4K of us, flocked together on a gofundme with a 10K target.
What if things you wanted came true in the worst possible way?
I was 12 years old in 1974, the year Watergate unfolded on America's television screens. I've been interested in politics ever since. Watergate and Vietnam are a frame that still affects my vision of politics today.
You may have heard about this one but you should really hear the local news report on it. 20 armed men busted in, never identified themselves, they stole everything in the home plus all the family's money, and now the family has no idea which agency to appeal to (or to sue). Who's to say this wasn't just a break-in and armed robbery? If this is the standard for Federal agencies, you can bet other criminals will copy it. #fascism#authoritarianismhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUMJqz53YW0

"In the first media interview with any of the Trump administration’s student detainees – all at risk of deportation — Mahdawi spoke to Leila Fadel in the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans, Vt., where he’s awaiting a court hearing Wednesday …"
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1945, #Mussolini was cornered in a small village whilst fleeing the country, and summarily executed by a communist partisan. His body was beaten and hanged in the streets of Milan. It is hard to escape #fascism peacefully. #SicSemperTyrannis#AntiFascist
"We just got wind of Republicans' higher education bill text for reconciliation. We skimmed it. It's the most dangerous Higher-Ed bill in history.
It strips the Dept of Ed of virtually every authority to CXL student debt. Eliminates every repayment program. Abolishes subsidized loans." -Debt Collective
"The judge compared the administration’s dismantling of the agency to when his kids ‘would throw a party at the house.'"
This is really about using: WH propaganda bullhorn to acclimatize ppl to st-sanctioned cruelty. Miller lining the WH drive with mug shots of migrants -sign: he's trying to acclimate us, boiled-frog style, to fascist imagery & tactics.
Taking INTL students from crowded streets, frog-marching of migrants onto MIL planes as ritual, sadistic humiliation, baselessly smearing ppl like Abrego Garcia as criminals: #lawlessness.
