I’ve also missed this. The narcissism of American leaders has no bounds.

Excellent point. Thank you.

A professor??

Some kids are told about it in school, and then that chapter ends and the lesson moves on and the kids forget about it. Beyond that, Americans have to actively seek out that information.

With Trump making moves to erase all evidence of the history I mentioned above, it's about to get a lot worse.

Nope, didn't work.

Im so fucking pissed no one stopped this!!!

My sincere hope is that they're rescued before this goes too far. Is that Polly Anna? Probably. But I'm hanging onto that.

Yeah. The more I listen to older generations about the shit the US government pulled in the past, the more I realize that this shit happening now is kind of par for the course for good ole America.

Like. The government killed black protestors in the civil rights era. Outright killed. Right now, though deportation is awful, there are no deaths, yet, that we've heard of. And thousands of civil rights activists were jailed for peaceful protest, which is happening again.

And McCarthyism was the government targeting those that didn't agree with their desired economy, essentially political dissenters. People lost their jobs and more. So. The government ruining the lives of dissenters isn't new either.

And disabled individuals lost their humanity in the forced sterilization era, and innocent Japanese were forced into concentration camps. So the dehumanization of trans people has precedence.

Yall. America sucks.

Sounds like real, genuine community. Like a block party.

Fascism will be destroyed by tight communities, so this is a win.

YES, I'm so sick of this wording!! It hides how fucking awful the actions being taken are.

I wish they'd quit making up cutesy names for actual horrors. It's not a "Trumpsession," it's a fucking recession.

I understand that including his name ties him to the event, but too many people have a positive connotation with it, so they won't see the word recession, only his name.

I wish the US had a vaccine record. The only record I have of my childhood vaccines are on some 30 year old pieces of paper in a folder somewhere in my house. A national record would make me feel safer about the possibility of a house fire and losing these papers.

I like the covid vaccine record. Somehow, those have followed me digitally between towns without me having to produce the card. More of that please.

His frustration and Israel's losses are both a goddamned delight.

Brilliant! I'd love to see the finished list when it's done.

I mean, I'd love for it not to have to exist, but here we are.

I look forward to mainstream media using real words with real meaning, again.

I have seen the goal post for action moved so many times

Yes. I have too. I honestly think I've moved my own goal posts for action, as well. I think most of the people like me feel truly lost about what to do. We need a Martin Luther King, Jr figure to unite and direct.

“political hate speech.”

I worry that we will see the rise of that phrase in future months as it's used against citizens who are pro-democracy.

This is exactly what I'm afraid of.

If they bend over for them, I will be pissed.

When will people learn that he is not a doctor???
