I too, thought this was real for a moment... Christ

milk thru nose shock 😳

Stop making stuff that seems realistic

Not looking forward to when The Onion issues a correction that this article is no longer satire.

I'm surprised they didn't describe her as facilitating the transfer of stolen property, considering their ideological bent.

Once again, I have to check to see that this is an Onion story.

i know we think/say this every time the onion posts anything but i thought this was real and just nodded like “yeah, they’d do that”. my eyes glazed over who posted this and i’m honestly more shocked it’s fake than not

Brilliant way to force people to go read the page and learn some history 👏🏾

This feels like something this stupid ass administration would do; I can't even laugh at satire anymore. 😔

Wish I could laugh

Made me double take to make sure it was an onion post! 😭

OOOOOOF

Whaaat??? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Says so much about this country and the orange administration when this headline actually seems plausible

Talk about giving me a scare and then I looked at who posted it and "oh, of course it would be The Onion" Sad reality we live in when the current administration makes The Onion look less like satire though : (

Don’t give them any ideas

The Onion, listen, your headlines are too real at this point, and every time I read one, I get a flash of panic and anxiety before realizing it's satire. But I swear those accumulated moments of horror are going to give me a heart attack before 2025 is over.

I thought this was a legitimate headline for a second there.

It was so bizarre I thought it was real

I don’t think it is supposed to be funny.

The problem with satire is that it has to be so over the top that it cannot be believed. The was the Orange Shitweasel is running things, this is something I CAN see being done.

This article was written for a reason. Look up how they actually changed the website concerning the underground railroad, and then go ahead and get pissed.

Shouldn't it say 3/5 human trafficker?

OMG my blood pressure shot sky high then I saw the identity of the poster. I was furious because who wouldn’t think this was true? Orange Yahtzee pig 🐽 bad. 👹

The way I scrolled too quickly past this and thought it was real. Nothing shocks me anymore.

You guys definitely need a larger logo.

Give it a week.

There's a special place in He'll for Trump & his eager accomplices.

So the best satire.

Are we sure this is the Onion?

Really? Feeding the MAGA’s conspiracy theories! Can’t wait to see the idiots who believe this! 🤣🤣🤣

What the serious fk?

Yet African Americans still like him. Please explain this to me like I’m a two-year-old.

Is he dead yet? His end must be delivered now.

Da fuq!!! This very insulting to black people who's families survived slavery.

This should be their next tshirt.

The sad part is that i speed read it first, didn’t notice it was the onion and wasnt that completely surprised…

Ouuuchhhh too believable

Don't give them ideas.

Should follow-up with page has now been removed due to DEI

God I hate this administration. To people saying both sides bad: this is what happens.

Nope.

With the number of people who say that and mean it, you should probably add a "/s" to the end of a statement like that. 🤷‍♂️

😡

We need dead drops to preserve our true history. Be the resistance.

Damn I almost fell for this it sounded too believable.

You gotta love The Onion!

Oh just give it a week and this will be a scoop, not a parody.

Today's edition of The Onions all too real headlines 😳

Basically, RACIST/confederate loyalist whites are trying 2 WHITEWASH history or anything that shines a light on all the prejudicial atrocities that their ancestors have committed towards African-Americans 4 centuries; including Indigenous (Slavery, Genocide, Jim Crow, etc.) DEI = anything Black 😏

So fucked up. Grieving our losses and fighting back

for longer than I want to admit, when I first saw this I thought it was real

What?

So, The Onion’s just straight news now?

Oh okay, I'm glad I scrolled back up. It's so crazy out here, I'm close to eating onions. Geez!

And Donald J Trump as a turd trafficker.

Satire, but only by a fraction

The Onion has been on a hell of a good run in general but this one is *chef's kiss*

This is from the Onion, must be satire, I hope!

You know, it’s getting to the point when I have to ask myself if this is satire, or if The Onion just broke a hot news story.

I got got by The Onion on this one.

The Onion fooled me again

I can't wait to see what other Federal websites have been revised for the Onion to report on 😄

They're going to posthumously prosecute Frederick Douglass. He even confessed. "I appear before you this evening as a thief and a robber..."

That was my first thought, but then I remembered that would require them to actually acknowledge black people.

Exactly what I was going to say

It's really sad this wouldn't even surprise me at this point

Coming soon to the real world...

Honestly thought this was real.

Blood was boiling and about to inflict savagery on phone but then onion..

The Onion has morphed into some kind of litmus test of where we are now, instead of just being fucking hilarious 😭

Man, the onion is doing the lord's work these days.

It's been awhile since I've fallen for an Onion article. That's how fucked we are at this point, it seemed completely believable.

That is a very well constructed joke. Soon to be true, I’m sure

Goddamnit Onion I felt my blood pressure spike on this one.

That wouldn't even surprise me with the open racism of the Trump administration. If they can just remove references to Harriet Tubman...

This is revolting. I grew in a suburb of SF, where the school taught us about Harriet Tubman and these a******* are removing the truth. It's sickening

Eric Trump thinks the Underground Railroad is slang for a sex act

Can you try some real news headline & see if anyone notices?

OMG, I thought this was real!! You absolutely cannot tell these days :(

National Park Service Puts Her Back Harriet Tubman is US history. Trump tried to make her a mystery. His racism caused fury to explode. Don’t railroad the Underground Railroad.

Same! Damnit The Onion is too real to know if it's satire.

THE DOUBLE TAKE I JUST DID 😭

THE WAY THIS JUMPSCARE SENT MY BLOODPRESSURE THROUGH THE ROOF. lmao/sob

next stop: burning history books

😂😂

Guess WHO REALLY IS A HUMAN TRAFFICKER? gov. ABBOTT IN TEXAS

Wow I almost ate the Onion there, it's getting hard to differentiate comedy and reality. The Republican party did erase historical picture of the Enola Gay just because it said gay on it, you know like the last name ...

I saw this headline and immediately checked the source. I was relieved to see that it is The Onion. I don’t think I would been surprised if the administration actually did this.

I was actually surprised this was an Onion headline. That's never happened before.

Reality and sarcasm are merging.

Doh!😂 smh.

😲

First time I’ve ever had to do a double take on an Onion article.

Genuinely had to scroll up to see that it was the onion.

Almost got me there

It’s sobering when I look at this headline and actually think it could be true, instead of laughing about how ridiculous it is. You almost got me on this one.

Same.

#CantTellIfSarcasm

I love traffickers.

Goddamn, Onion. You never miss.

Woof on the typo 🤣 parodies

OMG I took that seriously for a minute! Given the last two months ...

It hurts so much...

I almost ate The Onion. I had to take a second look at this one. That line between fiction and reality is getting a bit thin these days.... lol.

So. Damn. Plausible.

I admit it. I did a double take. We live in interesting times.

The true story of Harriet Tubman has almost been lost to us today.

This sickens me.

In a week this will cease to be parody.

I agree.
