Unbelievable, from the man who did more than anyone else to give Douglas Murray's explicit white ethnonationalism a platform and a bridge to the UK mainstream. archive.ph/LMDiX

not even just because he's a white man, but because he's the most unqualified white man possible. just like tulsi gabbard is DNI because she's one of the most obviously compromised individuals possible. they resent qualification. they resent having to actually be good at things.

It's strikingly similar to the white supremacy campaigns in Reconstruction North Carolina, as described by Gregory Downs in Declarations of Independence (p.192), where Black employment in government jobs was framed as prima facie evidence of anti-white discrimination.

its amazing the way conservative arguments fall completely apart in court when there are actually penalties for lying

Again: tech journalism is meeting this moment in a way the mainstream establishment newspapers and cable channels just aren’t. I can’t emphasize enough what a big deal this is.

I keep seeing DEI being called an ideology when it is not, and the white supremacy that is replacing it not being called an ideology, when it really is. That shit goes back centuries.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

As hurtful as it sounds, the United States is siding with Russia by demanding Ukrainian resources and threatening with action for refusal to comply. We are being robbed by the world's two largest nuclear powers. Welcome back to the 21st-century Molotov-Ribbentrop reality

who could’ve predicted that confirming a white nationalist, christian extremist, drunk, sexual predator, tv host to lead our country’s armed forces would end in ruin

It's so weird how the party that likes to claim their opponents are radical Maoists or Stalinists are engaging in purges of the military, the Justice Department, & dozens of other federal agencies at a scale that is far far far beyond anything any incoming administration in US history has ever done.

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

If you're old enough, do you remember when Repubs were calling Barack Obama the Manchurian Candidate? I bring this up for no fucking reason whatsoever.

If every American had to do an annual test comparable to what prospective migrants have to do in order to get naturalized, y'all would tear down the borders so fast, lol

huh wonder why a racist nepobaby would fire an accomplished Black man

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

They hit the Daily Beast too

“This is nice behaviour, that I write to you again and again, and you pay no attention to me.” This almost 4,000-year-old Babylonian letter in clay is proof that we have been finding ways to say “per my last email” for some time
