Trump just quietly deleted sections of the US Constitution involving Habeus Corpus, the Titles and Emoluments clause, and for some reason the clause granting the power to maintain a Navy.

Not amending it. Not passing laws restricting it. Just HIDING portions of it from the public and pretending they never existed.

This is full on fascist shit. The Nazis are here, and they are us.

And for anyone arguing that this is clearly just a goof, the webpage explaining Article 1 of the Constitution was also altered and the exact same portions were also removed on that site.

Continuity across multiple pages is not a mistake. This was deliberately underhanded and malicious but done in a way that, as always, was immediately caught by everybody.

Then the King will say: "When I was hungry, you g̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶e̶a̶t̶ forced my teachers to put up posters of the Ten Commandments in my classroom while making sure I didn’t get school lunch. I was a stranger and you i̶n̶v̶i̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ sent masked thugs to kidnap my parents leaving me outside the school with no one to take me home. I was sick and you l̶o̶o̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶f̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶m̶e̶ cut my healthcare to pay for a gilded ballroom."

"How can you call yourself a progressive when you refuse to even sit down and have a conversation with the modern conservative?"

This is a talking point I'm seeing more and more on social media. "Modern conservatives", by which they mean MAGA, upset that their children no longer want to have anything to do with them and are going no contact. And, without being facetious or hyperbolic in any way, let me give you the exact answer to that question.

The answer is, for the same reason that a firefighter has no interest in sitting down and hanging out for a friendly chat with an arsonist.

Progressives believe in progress. Social progress, political progress, economic progress, technological progress and progress in the arts and media. It is a philosophy that argues the human condition can be improved by safeguarding human rights and placing reasonable checks and balances on corporate monopolies and unregulated capitalism.

The arsonist, sorry, the MAGA, not only doesn't believe in any of that. They don't believe in the underlying premise of the existence of basic, universal human rights. Again, I don't say this hyperbolically or for a laugh. This isn't funny. This is actually what they believe. In the MAGA worldview, certain types of people simply do not have rights; at the top of that list are groups of people such as immigrants, women, trans people, and brown and black folks.

This is because a core tenet of MAGA ideology stems from the christofascist notion of moral hierarchies. Under this system, evil acts aren't evil because of some morally repugnant aspect inherent to them. They're evil because the person at the top of the hierarchy has decreed that it is evil. Crimes like kidnapping, slavery, and murder aren't wrong because human life is inherently sacred. Kidnapping/slavery/murder is wrong because God said it's wrong. This is why they can simultaneously believe that God is morally good and cannot do wrong things, and also that God has appointed one person - in this case Donald Trump - to kidnap, enslave, and murder their political opponents. It's not hypocrisy. It's hierarchies.

Sitting down to a friendly chat with that sort of morally delusional person is exactly like asking a firefighter, a person who has dedicated their life to putting out fires, to sit down to a friendly little conversation over tea with a dedicated arsonist, a person who not only does not believe that putting out fires is a good and moral thing, but also that water doesn't put out fires, that gasoline does put out fires, and who refuses to view your home as anything other than a pile of kindling that deserves to be reduced to ash and rubble.

You aren't debating the effectiveness of the fire department. You very quickly end up debating whether fires exist or not, and whether your home personally should be the next one lit on fire.

This is how it happens:

The previous Republican president told us fascism is dead and Republicans destroyed it.

The current Republican president is telling us fascism isn't fascism if Republicans do it.

The next Republican president will tell us fascism is necessary to combat the evils of Democracy.

If you are an educator and preparing to go back to work right now and you are progressive or liberal I hope you understand the assignment.

As far as you know:
- Every student in our classroom is straight
- Every student in our classroom is cisgender
- Every student in our classroom is a natural-born citizen whose family has lived in this nation their entire life.

We do not comply with:
- Government requests for information about our students or their families.
- Orders from masked unidentified thugs.
- Threats from armed occupying military forces.

Got it?
