Dear President Biden,

In the spirit of Dark Brandon, please use one of your Executive Orders to CANCEL ALL STUDENT DEBT.

That way, if trump wanted to reverse it, he'd have to disappoint all those families and reinstate all that debt.

You have immunity.
Just do it.

Signed,
US

Boy are Republicans struggling right now. They're finding out that tariffs are actually taxes, Obamacare is actually the ACA, and that Project 2025 was actually the plan all along.

The Enabling Act allowed [Hitler] to issue laws without the consent of Germany’s parliament, laying the foundation for the complete Nazification of German society. The β€œLaw to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Reich" was passed in March 1933. This is Trump's plan.

Mass deportation proposals, family separations, and the dehumanization of immigrants echo patterns we’ve seen before. History shows how these steps escalate, targeting vulnerable groups while society looks away.

Silence is complicity.

First They Came… Who Will Speak Out?

Pastor Martin NiemΓΆller’s famous poem is a haunting reminder of what happens when we stay silent in the face of injustice.

Today, we face another moment of moral reckoning.

We must reject the politics of fear and scapegoating. History warns us where this road leads, and we can choose unity and humanity over hatred.

But let’s be clearβ€”this narrative is a dangerous lie. Immigrants fuel our economy, enrich our culture, and strengthen our communities. The real harm comes from allowing fear and division to take root, enabling systems that exploit and oppress.

Demonizing groups begins with dehumanizing propaganda, associating them with crime, disease, or economic loss. This turns people into enemies in the public imagination, justifying harmful policies like mass deportations, family separations, and detention centers.

Turning Neighbors Into Enemies

Throughout history, political leaders have used fear of β€œthe other” to divide communities and consolidate power. Trump and the GOP are following this playbook by stoking fears about hardworking immigrantsβ€”painting them as threats instead of neighbors.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the β€œdeep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains

Weird how black women with Harvard degrees and twenty years of experience are called "DEI hires," but some random dude on Fox News is expertly qualified to run the Department of Whatever.

We must stand against the dehumanization of immigrant communities, the exploitation of labor, and the normalization of injustice.

Today, mass deportation proposals risk repeating this dark history. Millions could be rounded up, stripped of constitutional protections, and funneled into the private prison industrial complexβ€”a system profiting off forced labor and systemic neglect.

Profit Built on Suffering

What begins with fear can end in tragedy. Hitler’s early plans to deport Jewish people led to death camps, forced labor, and unimaginable suffering. It’s a grim reminder of how policies targeting vulnerable groups escalate when driven by greed and hate.

Tweet:

The Republicans were obsessed with Obama releasing his birth certificate, and VP Harris releasing her McDonald’s pay stubs. BUT THEY don’t want to release the report investigating THEIR Attorney General nominee for allegedly hooking up with a child? Interesting how that works!

I see how that works, yes. Do you?
