Trump is erasing history so he can whitewash the future of America.
The regime wants to use US's 250th anniversary to justify taking away hard-won civil rights and freedoms, denying birthright citizenship to Black and brown Americans, and terrorizing our communities with modern-day slave patrols.

If youโre worried about Trump sending slave patrol 2.0 onto our streets, you should be concerned about him bombing Iran.
Everyday people in Iran & in the service will bear the brunt all so this MAGA murder regime can seize more power.
This is an old playbook. We must stand up & refuse to comply.

Abolitionists won birthright citizenship.
Civil rights leaders rewrote white only immigration quotas & paved the way to Medicare.
Black freedom has always benefited all
When we believe support for one must come at the expense of another, we fall for violent myths/traps set by white supremacists

This is exactly why we must continue pressuring our institutions to reject Trump-Crow's agenda whether it be whitewashing or the slave patrol 2.0.

Last November, the working group was formed; eventually, they will make recommendations to the Council.

Trump turned the SOTU into a Klan rally for hateful losers. Democrats shouldn't have attended. Media shouldn't have broadcast it.
This is how he wants to use the platform of America's 250th - to lock in a white supremacist future. We must refuse to give the regime this spotlight.

The wealthy, white few and Wall Street owe Black and Indigenous communities for centuries of stolen labor and life - and for the generations of exploitation since.

NYC Property Tax Hike Or Millionaire Income Tax Loom
Facing a multibillion-dollar shortfall, City Hall proposes higher taxes on top earners or property owners, drawing pushback from lawmakers.
Kathy Hochul: New Yorkers demand that the wealthy white few pay what they owe to make reparations real
Our state budget shouldnโt cost Black homeowners more; it should make the rich pay their fair share so that all of us can thrive.

Rest in power, Jesse Jackson.
Jackson unified communities across the country in the struggle for Black liberation.
Though he has passed, his work lives on through each and every one of us, so we must take the baton and continue to organize for repair and equality to honor his legacy.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Because we raised our voices, the courts just repeated our demands for the regime to reinstate the whole history at the Presidentโs House. Now we are calling on people of conscience to refuse to participate in Trumpโs anti-American, whitewashed 250th and instead, embrace our whole history.

The MAGA regime is set on erasing all the history that doesnโt validate their narrow white supremacist agenda. But Trumpโs vision of our country isnโt our past, and we donโt have to let it be our future.

The way to an America that lives up to its ideals isnโt by sidelining the truth, itโs by reckoning with our whole history, righting longstanding wrongs, and stepping into the shoes of the Americans who fought to make freedom and equality real for all no matter our races, backgrounds, or genders.

This Presidentโs Day, members of our Philly pod came to Independence Park where the MAGA regime recently tried to erase the history of enslavement, to make it loud and clear that The Dirty Business of Slavery Cannot Be Erased.
What we fail to repair, we repeat.
