Steve King 9 @SteveKinglA + Follow Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies. ESTERN ILIZATION Voice of Europe @V_of_Europe Hundreds of Islamists shouting "Allahu Akbar" in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Wilders is right for over 10 years. #turkijerel RETWEETS LIKES 516 688 10:40 AM - 12 Mar 2017 from lowa, USA

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

Epstein files. Epstein files. Epstein files.

The Democratic Party wants you to think there’s nothing they can do as the minority party, something the GOP has proven false over and over and over again.

These Dems are complicit in fascism.

A pedophile.
An adjudicated rapist.
A convicted felon.
A pathological liar.
A sociopath.
A malignant narcissist.
A sadist.
A racist.
A fascist.
A traitor.
An insurrectionist.
A war-monger.
A demagogue.
A despot.
An enemy of the Constitution.
An American nightmare.

Reminder that none of things that Trump and his goons want Americans to be afraid of are responsible for bombing Iran. TRUMP DID THAT.

There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things

Those who live in glass concentration camps shouldn’t throw stones.

These are the Epstein wars.

Two white old men, who for various reasons are hoping a war turns their fortunes around.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I still won’t forget about the Epstein Files

Y'all, we shipped ~45k whistles in December.

I think we shipped ~35k whistles TODAY.

This team of rogue 3D printing enthusiasts is... really rocking & rolling. 💓💃 And thank you to all of you who helped supply the filament & shipping $ so that could happen!

This is illegal act of war committed by a president who is actively trying to cover up evidence he sexually assaulted a 13 year old girl.

This should not be treated as legitimate in any way.

If Trump can declare war without congressional authorization, then Congress has effectively disbanded itself.

JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

If one really believed this latest tired version of Ronald Reagan's tired, shabby talking point, then one would support a set of policies including:

- Actually "open borders"
- Free trade
- Not using government paramilitaries to occupy cities & kill civilians
- Not running concentration camps
- Etc

Sadly, I’m something of a recluse these days, and I haven’t been out to eat in my own city more than 2-3 times in the past year. 😔

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

Hey all, can we please, PLEASE normalize citing file names for stuff from the Epstein files?

We did it with normalizing alt text, we can do it with this.

There’s a lot of wild stuff flying around about who/what is in the files, and not all of it is true.

Lego minifigures out on the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis protesting the ICE occupation of Minnesota.

For my Lego friends. If you want your own and also get to support a cause, Dan @ Brickmania has these available. (Well not all of these, just the torsos and signs)

Bridge Owner Donated $1 Million to MAGA Inc. PAC Before Trump Blasted New Span

SCOOP: Less than 1 month before Trump came out against a new bridge connecting Michigan with Canada, the billionaire owner of an existing bridge donated $1M to the Trump-backed super PAC, MAGA Inc.

It is difficult, as a Jew whose family was massacred in the Holocaust, to watch people come to this realization. Millions of us died because of people like this. The Holocaust was not that long ago! People have not evolved out of racism and bigotry. Folks like this will always live among us.

Today, the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s harmful tariffs, but so many small businesses have already felt the financial pain.

Today I’m introducing the RELIEF Act to make our small businesses whole by refunding the tariffs they paid.

in person? lordy, i might actually swoon.
