Casar: "The party of 'very fine people on both sides' or 'Jewish space lasers' does not give a damn about stopping antisemitism. If my Republican colleagues want to stop the spread of antisemitism, maybe they should stop apologizing for and promoting antisemites."

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

“Arlington National Cemetery, the final resting place of presidents, generals, Medal of Honor recipients and more than 400,000 service members and their families, has purged its website of material focused on Black, Hispanic, and female troops buried there” - shameful, even by Trump’s standards.

This article isn’t for the Democratic Party — it’s for you, the Democratic base. Democrats champion diversity in appearance and background, yet increasingly the base suppresses diversity of thought. If we want to be a broad coalition that wins elections, it has to stop.
