I completely agree with this, and with the thread. If you don't discuss racism as a giant motivating factor (not the only one, but a huge one), you can't cover this administration, these people, or their party accurately.

Strong letter from Rep. Gerry Connolly (ranking Dem on House Oversight Committee) to acting OPM Director Chuck Ezell re: 5 bullets email. Calls it “illegal, reckless, and yet another example of the cruel and arbitrary chaos Mr. Musk” has inflicted. Says he must clarify non-response≠resignation.

Maybe we need a new word for people who do the sieg heil to troll the libs. [googles for a minute or two] Huh. It turns out "Nazis" still does the trick.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

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.

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.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

Haven’t we seen enough? Corrupt & compromised. This Mayor needs to be removed. It’s past time for Governor Hochul to step in here. And if she won’t, the city’s Committee on Mayoral Inability should. Enough is enough. New York deserve better & shouldn’t have to wait any longer.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

I had a bad reaction to the pertussis vaccine series when I was a baby and wasn’t able to complete it. I was protected by herd immunity. I’m 34 and I’m part of the oldest generation to have had the chicken pox vaccine. Vaccines are a MIRACLE. Fuck RFK Jr., and I say that with my whole chest.

I understand where the calls for boycotts are coming from but I have to say that boycotting the Kennedy Center doesn’t hurt him - it hurts the artists, administrators, staff, and DC residents who have a lot more to lose if a major arts hub is destroyed.

Raskin: "Yesterday, Donald Trump banned the Associated Press, a 179-year-old newspaper organization, from the White House because it declines to call the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." This is straight up press censorship based on retaliatory viewpoint discrimination."

In this town it was tradition: usurp Congress, force thousands of federal workers to quit, and let 21-year-old incels put the U.S. dollar on the blockchain. Now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

this is it. none of us are safe unless all of us are safe. and if we have the courage to adhere to that, we also have an advantage in the long run. the party that is willing to throw anyone and everyone under the bus is ultimately unsustainable.

Indefensible for any news organization to still be on Twitter. "We think it's important for us to reach people who aren't necessarily" blah blah blah forget it. Do you routinely post on Nazi or white supremacist chat boards? Then don't post on Twitter, because the only difference is, it's bigger.
