hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

Interesting. New contracting memorandum from Secy of Defense says military contracts shld stop including language that bars contractors from running segregated facilities.

It's not that the companies are inherently segregationist, but if that's what it takes to feed at the public trough, they're in.
No. Matter. What.
Just like in any authoritarian economy.
The rest of us in UN-air conditioned basements with metal desks, folding chairs and IBM Selectric typewriters earning $7.25/hr.
I know you don’t want to get racisism’d to death but could you please be a little considerate of how white writers feel inside
If only the Democrats knew how to use technology effectively.
1. Join the side that thinks everyone deserves respect.
2. Join the cartoonish villians who will be the butt of jokes and sneers at the mere mention of the name.
Obviously this is a tough choice.
We have a president who is posting images of him as a king & openly has threatened genocide & revoking the 1A… & we watch passively.
Can you check into this?
Is it racist, white supremacist, or what?
Also, how soon til they modify the language to exclude Jews from getting jobs?
"They" being the Nazi salutes people
Want to say I was 5, maybe a little older.
How are we back here.

Yea, definitely racists misogynist
White supremacy
I still consider myself a centrist, by the way. It’s not on me that the Republican Party sailed over the starboard horizon years ago.

I’ve seen the “master race” and it’s typically a bunch of idiots that couldn’t screw in a lightbulb without looking at their hands.
One of the ways in which #Trump is casting his campaign of #Retribution against Black ppl.

My goodness.
Weird way to describe status quo propaganda machine.
I have 10% vision and I can see they're bigots through and through.
Reporters should be asking t*u*p et al if they are bigots at 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 news conference.
Banning said reporters for asking this'd be all folks need to know it's true.

It's just common sense.
Snitch tagging is the equivalent of shouting "HEY LOOK WHAT THIS GUY SAID ABOUT YOU" and it's fucking rude.
Bc those are the only reasons to do it. And none of them are great.
They don’t want to segregate people by race. They want America to be completely white.
Does that help?
It's not that the Trump administration is segregationist. it's not like they are requiring segregated facilities. It's just that they won't discriminate against contractors who are. They aren't taking a position on it or requiring other to.
It is at the center of all this and how they think they'll win.
It is overblown to use a 14-letter word when a 7-letter writer will do.
RACISTS
They are racists. Hope that helps!
Racist is an opinion, segregation is a policy. We’ve moved beyond rudeness into legality.
Laws too. Thousands of those as well.
Which also means you've lost 100% of MAGA already.
I get the point you’re making, but parsing policy thoughtfully like that is, sadly, not often the most effective message.
One of the "brilliant" things the right does is staying on simple messages. It helps that their audience is often simple-minded, but the tact works.
They want to segregate US via Class and turn it into Class Society

14 is the number of words in their warcry which I wont repeat but it involves segregation too
You'll be "Vichy centrist!"
This is not just racial segregation. It is also referring to sex, gender identity and sexual orientation
What is wrong with autocorrect?
Fucking useless confederate pig fornicators who could use a neck stretching is closer to the truth.
Oh wait, he's *working* remotely from an undisclosed Mexican beach, but someone from the Manhattan Institute is passing it down to him to send over to you.
We need everyone in this fight.
Be ready to fight. Be ready to stand.
Be an ally to every marginalized person. Let them know that you are safe.
Form your networks now.
(but is it, really?)
Nobody knows what can break through propeganda so trying things while cameras roll isn't useless.
If you want more action, only cowardice is stopping you.
What is this country becoming
The preacher at the church he goes to has written more than one book extoling the virtues of slavery, claiming that slavery in America was a time of racial harmony, and that the CSA was right about everything.
And apparently that's okay with way too many fucking people. He as a person in his entirety is fucking horrifying.

KKK & the like are known to hide behind pretend ✝ to carry out their agenda. Here's an excerpt from '81 in S.J. during a recruitment rally. The poor victimized white male Christian is some of the oldest rhetoric out there.
Tell the centrists to get out of our way or put on a hood.
That's my opinion on their bullshit.
