Trump Doubles Down on Migrants ‘Poisoning’ the Countrywww.nytimes.com In an interview on Fox News, the former president said again that migrants crossing the southern border were criminals from prisons and mental institutions.

We have the same problem in the UK. Kids need to be taught what populism is and what it leads to. Human societies can never slay the fascist dragon. It can be fought back into its lair to sleep for a decade or so, but it never dies. @bylinesnetwork.bsky.social yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/out...

this. You don't debate a dragon; you either slay it or put it so far into hiding it stays there a while. Then you make sure people don't think the dragon is just a myth; and you make sure at least some people have weapons to fight it when it comes back. It always does.

Don't worry they don't remember what a rhombus is either.

He’s a child of migrants. Memory loss.

His mum was Scottish, wasn’t she? When he came to the UK he was went on about that, and how much she loved QEII (altho when he met QEII he behaved like Homer Simpson). He didn’t seem mentally stable then and he appears even worse now. 😬 youtu.be/tyBKS-rV4eE?...

And his grandad was German. I thought it was his dad,

I’ve often wondered if he ever got to the point that he couldn’t slither out of his legal troubles, if he’d apply for a British passport to throw up yet another smokescreen. I don’t think it could be refused. His kids can all get passports from their mothers’ nations, too.

I don’t think it’s automatic. My nephew and godson had to have police checks. Only auto if their parents had registered them as British as minors.

That’s interesting!

He means brown people

Still migrants and children of migrants.

Yes, but what he is saying is code for non-whites

Yes I know he’s a racist POS as well as everything else.

I dont think most Americans learn what a rhombus is anymore actually, ngl.

THIS!

Fascism is a massive, immediate concern. If we would merely integrate Epistemology courses in early childhood education, it would destroy fascism in a generation and take care of the much older problems concerning the foundations of Western Civilization, pre-Fasces, more Labrys era.

Do you know what the word fascism means?

well, we could be teaching both
