The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

this has been very clear for a very long time and I've long wondered why so many people didn't see it. I think it's because it seems so absurd that someone would think like this. But plenty have throughout history! And plenty of people (too many!) have supported them!

the excellent music writer @carynrose.bsky.social recently launched a newsletter/website about Bruce Springsteen and she is approximately the best possible person to do this. If the topic interests you I can confidently say this is the best place to get your fix www.radio-nowhere.com

“Good, I’ll see you in court, I look forward to that, that should be a real easy one" -- Donald Trump, who has lost in court more than the Washington Generals

Hello friends. I know times are dark but it is incredibly important not to lose hope. And, this week there are signs of hope and it paramount we recognize that hope, not let up and build. A thread on this if I may. You may appreciate this on a Friday. Come along with me. 🧵 (1/10)

"a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month" is just about the longest-possible way of avoiding calling a Nazi salute a "Nazi salute"

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

We finally have an actual 1A question about social media and I’m wondering where the Twitter Files dupes are?

Kind of a side note but this phrasing, in which Trump is "letting his administration" do something, is super weird. Trump is doing it! He is seizing control of the mail system! Trump's administration is ... Trump. It's not a separate thing.

I would love to be wrong here (if I am, correct me!) but since I’ve gotten a few questions about it from RFS supporters who’ve gotten scammy emails - as far as I know, this org is a scam PAC. They do not do what they say they do, and you should not give them money.

I'm not sure when exactly we peaked as a species but I am sure it was a while ago

The FBI has only ever had Republican directors. Trump illegally forced out the last two FBI directors for not being Republican enough. Today, Senate Republicans let him appoint a new FBI director who posted an AI video of himself chainsawing Democrats’ heads off
