Eu não tenho problemas para descrever imagens. Crio todas as descrições das imagens que compartilho nesta conta. Mas eu sei que nem todo mundo tem essa facilidade. E acho que mais importante do que fazer as pessoas deixarem de ser preguiçosas e, ou egoístas é tornar a experiência das redes sociais mais inclusivas para todo mundo. Vou compartilhar o link de um gerador de descrição de imagens, funciona bem, em vários idiomas e é gratuíto, não precisa baixar!

[Invasion by “illegals”]
That wildly exaggerated vision has enabled Republicans to justify throwing overboard the due process on which American rights are based. On Friday, Representative Victoria Spartz (R-IN) told booing constituents: “You violated the rules, you are not entitled to due process.” In fact, in the United States, the due process of law is what establishes whether someone has violated the “rules,” otherwise known as the law.](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/257/354/330/281/743/original/ccf0f4c2f1c3b611.jpeg "Heather Cox Richardson rule of Law

3/30/25
That rhetoric that tied racism and taxes elected Ronald Reagan to the White House in 1980, and it has since metastasized until the top seven donors to the 2024 political cycle together gave almost a billion dollars to Republicans, with Elon Musk alone contributing more than $291 million. The list, compiled by Open Secrets, shows that Democratic donors don’t kick in until number eight on the list, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, who gave slightly more than $64 million to Democrats. George Soros, the Republicans’ supervillain, didn’t make the top 25. As those wealthy donors wish, the Trump administration is shredding the post-World War Il government and has prioritized tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
Trump's government is also firing women, Black and Brown Americans, and gender minorities from public positions and working to erase them from our history. MAGA Republicans have fired up their base against immigrants they claim are “invading” the United States, an exaggerated vision in which White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, for example, claims that “[w]e were invaded and occupied. Entire neighborhoods were conquered. Entire towns were subjugated. Our treasury was in the plundered.

In response[racial equality], former Confederates in 1871 began to maintain—falsely —that they had never objected to Black rights on racial grounds. What they opposed, they said, was that poor Black men, impoverished because of their time in slavery, had the right to vote. Those men would, they said, vote for services like roads, schools, hospitals, and such services could be paid for only through tax levies on propertied Americans who overwhelmingly were white men. Thus, permitting Black men to vote meant “socialism” that would destroy the US. To restore true American values, former Confederates and their northern counterparts insisted, Black Americans must be shut out of a voice in government.
That rhetoric resurfaced after World War Il. In that era, the vast majority of Americans embraced a government that worked for everyone by regulating business, providing a basic social safety net, promoting infrastructure, and protecting civil rights. But those Republicans eager to avoid regulation and taxation reached back to Reconstruction to insist that a government that worked in the interest of all Americans was redistributing wealth from hardworking Americans to undeserving minorities and women. Restoring true American values, they said, meant making sure that “Marxists” and minorities could not influence politics, especially after the 1965 Voting Rights Act restored voting rights to Black Americans and people of color.](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/257/311/021/222/472/original/98a05a93b3895a66.jpeg "Heather Cox Richardson Confederacy Reasoning
