The "Enabling Act," which allowed Hitler to enact laws without the approval of the Reichstag (German parliament). This marked the beginning of the end for German democracy. Trump, during his presidency, issued numerous executive orders that bypassed Congress. Know your History #bluesky #Facism

One of the greatest joys in the Universe is having a beloved dog at your side in your retirement after teaching 35 years as a SPED Teacher in the inner city. Bella is a gift from the Universe for my wife and I. #mentalhealth #bluesky #love #companion #boxerdog #joy #kindness #laughter

I emigrated from Havana, Cuba in 1969. I became a citizen in 1977.So Proud.I have a fortunate life and retired from teaching. America has offered so much and I never took it for granted. I revered the US Constitution. A Beacon of Hope. Trump wants a Harbringer of Hate. #bluesky #Fascism

Fear Mongering at the White House. Time to panic it's the Hispanics. #bluesky #panic #fear #tropes #racism

The Founding Fathers, in their wisdom, ensured that no single religion would dominate the political landscape, thereby safeguarding individual liberties and promoting pluralism. White Christian Nationalists aim to create a society that disregards democratic inclusivity. #bluesky #fascism #racism

This is why you need to know your history. Obviously the current Administration wants us to be as dumb as bolts. #bluesky #fascism #hate

U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr wants a national database to track Americans with autism. Hasn't Global History taught us when a National List is compiled it turns out poor for those targeted #bluesky #freedom

The Gestapo was the political police force of the Nazi state. The name Gestapo is the official German name “Geheime Staatspolizei.” The direct English translation is “Secret State Police.” Its goal is to maintain the political status quo. Gestapo 2.0 Trump's Jackboots #bluesky #madness

The Constitution's seven articles outline the structure of the government, including the roles and jurisdictions of its main branches. It also sets limits on government power and guarantees individual freedoms. WeThePeople #bluesky #politics #freedom #nofacists

CNN — The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Donald Trump to enforce the Alien Enemies Act for now, handing the White House a victory that will let immigration officials rely on a sweeping wartime authority to rapidly deport alleged gang members. Unbelievable. #bluesky #politics #nokings

I can't fucking believe I have to worry what's on my phone when leave the the United States to Canada in mid August and when traveling to a Sedona, Arizona at the end of June because I emigrated from Havana Cuba in 1969 with my parents and older brothers as political exiles. #bluesky #freedom

Bella has come to the realization that half of the Voters who support Trump think that her Cuban born Dad who became a naturalized US Citizen in 1977 has lesser value than WASPs born in the US. 3 seconds later... Bella: Fuck em!. #yep #bluesky #resist #justice #immigrant #dogs #fight #latinx

Cabinet members that are Billionaires ? I remember Betsy DeVos. Starting off on the wrong foot, Betsy DeVos could not even address fundamental questions about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, including whether states and localities have to comply, during her confirmation hearing.

Not to be Captain Obvious, I am really annoyed that Trump's new cabinet appointments destroyed United States' credibility globally. How can we ever recover from this? This is not a historical blemish it's projectile vomiting. #bluesky #politics #error #yikes #goodgrief #hi

Nothing beats being retired after spending 33 years as a Special Education Teacher in one of the poorest Urban Districts in the United States. I like wearing blue collar gear as a homage to my Cuban Father who was a laborer at Kodak Park in Western NY. #hello #bluesky #immigrant #cuban

I taught as a Special Education Teacher in one of the poorest Urban districts in the United States for over 33 years. It is an honorable profession. In what universe is it appropriate for a former wrestling executive Linda McMahon to be Education Secretary. What an insult to all families.
