The Nazis literally took Jim Crow as inspiration for the laws they made that eventually took millions down the path to the death camps.

I can't tell if Picard is about to say "Engage", or is playing the world's smallest violin.

[So that they could avoid having to publicly vote for or against the "emergency" the Dear Leader is using as an excuse to impose economy-destroying tariffs]

House Republicans inserted in their measure on Tuesday declared that, “Each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day” for the purposes of the emergency that Mr. Trump declared on Feb. 1.

The last few years I lived there, my rent went up 20-25%. Every. Damned. Year.

And that was before every last oligarch, monarch, and plutocrat in the world went all in on London property to store their {#$%}-gotten gains.

This 2018 mass shooting took place soon after Columbia University and the Anti-Defamation League independently reported a spike in antisemitic activity online, especially on the popular social networking platforms Instagram and Twitter.[27][28][29][30] In addition, other antisemitic acts had been committed elsewhere.[31]

The immediate rise in the months of August to October 2018 was attributed to rising tensions associated with advertising for the 2018 U.S. midterm elections.[32] A similar rise in online attacks had occurred during the 2016 US election,[27] with the midterms being a "rallying point" for far-right extremists to organize efforts to spread antisemitism online among the populace.[28] In 2017, there was a 57% rise in antisemitic incidents in the United States,[30][29] in context of rising hate crimes against other groups, including Muslims and African Americans, as reported by the FBI.[30] For instance, hundreds of Jewish gravestones were vandalized in Pennsylvania and Missouri,[28] and antisemitic incidents on university campuses doubled in number.[31]

In August 2017, the widely publicized Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia featured Nazi symbols, salutes, and the slogan "Blood and Soil",[31] among other racist and antisemitic rhetoric. Considerable antisemitic material was being spread online via conspiracy theories about wealthy Jewish individuals, including billionaire George Soros. Columbia University's Jon Albright said that these represented the "worst sample" of all the hate speech he had seen on Instagram.

All under Trump.

Face-eating leopards won't be going hungry for a long time.

The shilling never stops. He's turned the White House into a fucking car dealership.

And he was probably dumb enough to buy the undercoat and extended warranty.

So they can just say "days aren't days" and overturn the law???

In the After Times, all these shitheels need to be rounded up and tried.

Anyone hear if they fired the Dept. Of Education Inspector General's SWAT team?

Because for a while there, the far right couldn't shut up about the "Orwellian" horror of it.

But I guess now the Dear Leader has (illegally) dismissed all Inspectors General, presumably soon to be replaced by true believers taking orders direct from His Orangeness, they will all of sudden stop having a problem with the DoE-IG having a SWAT team at their disposal and it's, like, totally not Orwellian.
