Reminder that we do NOT live in "unprecedented" times.

On this day on Feb. 5, 1917, Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917 to block “undesirable” immigrants. That meant a ban on Asian, Mexician, and Mediterranean migrants, literacy tests, new taxes, & excluded the poor, disabled, & criminalized.

Meanwhile white European migrants were welcomed with open arms & given land via Homestead Act.

This racist law was finally repealed in 1952.

Trump wants to revive this fascism. Do not let him.

@QasimRashid I agree with this post but the left cannot seem to decide if Trump a fascist because the American empire is in decay or because it was always fascist

It doesn't really matter though does it

Tell such voices the point is to make better happen, not analysis paralysis
