BREAKING: Princeton Professor Eddie Glaude unleashes a devastating takedown of "rabid" and "racist" Stephen Miller — and it's one for the ages.
This is an absolute must-read...
"Stephen Miller is a racist. He's a white nationalist. White nationalists have seized the federal government. Great Replacement Theory motivates this immigration policy," Glaude said on "Democracy Now."
"It is in fact part of the justificatory language of the so-called legal decision or opinion that Justice Alito laid out. We need to call them for what they are," he continued.
The professor is, of course, absolutely right. The Republican effort to overturn birthright citizenship under Trump thankfully hit a brick wall with the Supreme Court's ruling this week, but we should be deeply alarmed that three justices, including Thomas, sided with the White House's efforts to violate the Constitution.
And there's nothing subtle about this agenda. Trump and Miller desperately want to end birthright citizenship because they're worried that white people are a shrinking majority in this country. In Trump's case, he cares about the issue because his racist base cares. In Miller's case, he has an ideological commitment to race-based fascism.
"And in so many ways, this is an echo of the 1920s. Oftentimes, the United States, in order to secure its virtue, will say the 'Monsters over in Germany, not understanding that the German monster was looking to the U.S. in the 1920s," Glaude explained.
"Explain," said the host.
"So what I mean is that here is the moment. The Klan is reborn in 1915," said Glaude. "Its basic motivation is rooted in the kind of nativism, a kind of true 100% Americanism, right? They want Nordic immigration, not those folk from the swarthy asshole countries of Europe. The Italians. The suspicious Irish papists and the like."
Again, Glaude is spot on. The Trump administration has blatantly sought to reduce immigration from Muslim and nonwhite countries. The President himself previously stated that he wants more immigrants from "nice" countries like Denmark and Switzerland. They also specifically prioritized white immigrants from South Africa.
"They are really in so many ways, right, thinking of the country as a white republic," he went on. "The seminal piece of legislation of the Klan, the one that they claimed they were most proud of, was the Johnson Reed Immigration Act and Nationality Act of 1924, which laid clear the quotas keeping the country white, right? So much so, 1926, the 150th anniversary of the nation, the Klan was approved to have its annual convocation, its annual convention, on the grounds of the Philadelphia Exposition. They're going to celebrate the American flag and its 150th anniversary and burn a cross at the same time!"
"These people are the inheritors of that legacy," Glaude said of the MAGA movement. "They believe the country should be white. And what we see with TPS, what we see with the immigration policies is an all out assault, a twin assault, Amy, on two fundamental pieces of legislation that changed the trajectory of the country."
"One, of course, was the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It's been gutted. The other, of course, is the Hart-Celler Act, Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which overturned the quotas of the 1924 Immigration Act," he added. "This is a white nationalist agenda. And Stephen Miller and all of these folk are just simply rabid, racist, and we need to call them for who they are."
We couldn't agree more. Conservatives are constantly shrieking that it's unfair to call them racist, but everything they do and say reveals the truth.
They are racist. And we aren't afraid to say it.
Please ❤️ and share if you oppose Stephen Miller's racist agenda!

Jimmy Kimmel dug up some old videos of Stephen Miller from high school and yikes… he was a piece of shit then too! Maybe the reason he’s so hateful is because he got picked on by other kids. Could explain it!

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

Both the White House and RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad.
It must have struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.
You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

One falsehood folks spread is that vaccines haven't been tested against placebo
Not true
For example,
HPV vaccines have nearly eliminated cervical cancer in vaccinated populations
And here's one of many studies comparing it against placebo

Nail, meet head. They systematically destroy trust. The truth is rare and costly. Lies are cheap. Silicone Valley learned this. This is how the right has been indoctrinated.

Here’s how Donald Trump is really handling government waste:
By spending 9 out of 19 days of his presidency in Florida and on the golf course.
Give me a fucking break.
