I saw an article on Politico where a Black Republican said she hopes Trump will give reparations to descendants of slaves, which is maybe the best evidence I have seen for the "Trump is a genie who will grant my wishes" theory of the electorate.

Definitely believe it. It's this weird American exceptionalism that clouds over journalists when talking about their own country vs Iran, Syria, Russia, etc.

No, the far left and far right aren't the same. Rounding people up and putting them in camps is bad. Mass deportations is bad. Gender affirming care and universal healthcare are good. Saying that the left and right are both authoritarian is just doing that dril tweet unironically.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!” Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools. 70 years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white. In this town, one school keeps kids divided. (Published May 2024)

The closest analogy I can think of for the current regime is the Taliban: destroying state functions while handing down repressive ideological decrees and otherwise running the state as an organized crime ring.

What does Gen Z think about legacy media? And, even not legacy media but like the first gen of digital only publications like Slate & Salon. Do they read Vox? The Verge? Wired? Jezebel? Do they read ProPublica? Or Truthout? Do they even know these exist?
