White House posts video of immigrants in shackles, calls deportation footage 'ASMR' President Donald Trump has made the crackdown on undocumented immigrants living in the United States a priority for his second term in the White House.

It’s sadistic at this point. There’s no way around it. Implying that Americans can find pleasure in watching people be deported in shackles is next level cruelty…

This is what I find so unsettling: waiting until it mounts to a more extreme level is when it’s going to be too late. We should be responding to any little hint of #fascism as it arises. As time passes, more power will be accrued and the worst-case scenario will only become more likely…

Trump Just Revoked Anti-Discrimination Rules Enacted By LBJ In 1965 The new president just unwound a landmark anti-discrimination measure implemented amid the height of the Civil Rights Movement.

So, just to be clear, one of his PRIORITIES this time around was to roll back decades-long protections against discrimination on the basis of sex, race, nationality, religion, and sexual orientation…

Musk's straight-arm gesture embraced by right-wing extremists regardless of what he meant Many social media users noticed that the gesture looked like a Nazi salute. Musk has only fanned the flames of suspicion by not explicitly denying those claims.

Whether or not it was intentional is sort of beside the point. If I were to make a gesture like this "by accident" in the classroom, I would still be held accountable. In part because I'm white, in part because I'm in a position of authority. Musk should know better. We should all know better...
