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."

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.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
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

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.

Now look, I get that I’m not a high powered Dem consultant, but is there a reason we can’t run on seizing the FUCKING SLUSH FUND Trump is setting up and sending every criminal in this administration, including but not limited to those in DHS/CBP/ICE to fucking jail? Is that not a thing we can do?
Screenshot of a tweet from Aaron Blake that reads: 

Trump announces he's transferring $10 billion from the US government to his "Board of Peace," which critics have likened to a giant slush fund Trump will control.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
