Just amazing: Trump grew angry over a Biden-era program with the word "equity" in its name, so he ended it. But a key part of the program was sending money to red states to expand internet access in rural/MAGA country. Now they might not get it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1950...

There's literally no difference between a public national monument approved by Congress and a $400 million jet the president keeps

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

This is obviously thinly-veiled racism. But it’s also a bullshit premise. Haitian refugees were thriving in Springfield. Bhutanese, Congolese, other refugees from Africa & Asia have reinvigorated Rust Belt towns and cities. Trump wants to send them all back.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

could someone check with John Roberts whether accepting a $400 million plane for your personal use is a core executive power that congress may not constitutionally regulate or merely an action for which the president is presumptively immune from any accountability?

"a total Marxist" - a "woke pope" - "a globalist" - "a shitlib" - might be "a demon" MAGA is having a totally normal, not at all deranged reaction to today's big news. Not that more evidence was needed, but it's a reminder of how this movement sees the world and anyone they consider their enemy.

"Woke" -- changing norms through social pressure -- is not, contra the reactionary centrists, another form of tyranny. It's the alternative to tyranny. It's new norms winning through the marketplace of ideas. The alternative is what we see now: enforcing norms via the threat of state violence.

This is a clear, true, & important distinction that many people refuse to make. The same is true of "fancy city dwellers condescending to hard workin' ruralites." The same is true of "wokesters forcing you to use pronouns." These are RW bogie men. RW hysteria exceeds actual examples 1000/1.
