Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth

  • It strikes me as impossible not to acknowledge that these kinds of people are being empowered and encouraged by the current administration. I would further note that the KKK also covered their faces so as to both shield their members from identification and to encourage their members to act with anonymous impunity.

What a picture from cheney orr of @reuters.com — a Black woman on a train surrounded by masked white supremacists, emboldened in Trump’s America. One for the history books.

One response to “Monday Morning Tab Clearing”

  1. Regarding the reliable partner issue, Trump has been quite clear. When I was a child I was taught that the attacks on Pearl Harbor in the midst of negotiations were evil actions by evil men. This current war with Iran started with a decapitation attack during negotiations, and Trump referenced Pearl Harbor during his visit with the Japanese prime minister on March 19. He told the world that he regards surprise attacks as a useful tactic. Would you be concerned if you were going to sit down with American negotiators?
    Also the concerns about his safety in Air Force One and Air Gift One certainly show that surprise attacks are in the forefront of his team’s thinking.
