Par for the course. CBS Corporate killed the interview with Jeffrey Wiegand in the 90s because it was critical of (checks notes) the cigarette industry.

You mean the decency extended to slaves beginning in 1619? Or Antebellum Blacks? Or the Irish in the 1840s? Native Americans throughout the 19th Century? Chinese in the 1880s? Italians in the 1920s? Mexicans and Hispanics since the Zoot Suit riots? White nationalism is as White nationalism does.

What assumption? While I agree that Hillary's 2016 run was short on campaign promises other than not Donny Two Scoops, Harris' campaign was nothing if not upfront about policies to continue Biden's record-setting economy and even support for recipient Red States. Repeatedly.

This would contravene the deeply-held mommy party/daddy party narrative held by mainstream institutions. Targeted policy attacks on political (and polity) adversaries are expected by Republicans, but any attempt by Dems to limit urban-generated wealth from going to recipient Red states is apostasy.

Really? As stunning as Lavrov's visit to the Oval Office in 2017, when Donny Two Scoops handed over highly classified intel gathered by Israel without their permission? Or his intrepid visit to North Korea when he kissed Kim Jong Un's ass and saluted one of his generals?

Hate. Hate is why. With a heavy dollop of patriarchal Christofascism.

The criminally underutilized (and publicly-owned) Cobo Hall Arena Detroit. A perfectly good 10K seat arena with first-rate acoustics. Now mothballed in service of of billionaires' overpriced shit arenas booking the shows that Cobo used to host.

Declining education outcomes are more of a feature than a bug in conservative politics. Conservatives aren't stupid, stupid people are conservative.

Just more dadaist consumerism, cynically passed off as edgy and must-have for tasteless nouveau riche. It's not so much ugly as it absurdly contravenes design standards for autos. At least the Pontiac Aztec was reliable, utilitarian and didn't spontaneously combust...

Reverse order these. Trump is the end game when voter apathy and racist, last-place avoidance persist in rural America.

Every reporter with access to the WH should ask, "How is DEI responsible for the tragedy in the air over DC?" Just ask over and over again, until the questions' repetition becomes the story. He says stupid fucking shit daily to appease his base that does not reflect reality. MSM lets it happen.

Turn away from funding, watching, or reading all legacy media, cancel your needless Amazon subscription, and shop locally for the stuff you need and don't really need. There's only one way to destabilize oligarchs and that's by keeping your $ out of their hands.

Just like in 2009 when Obama's first domestic policy hill was credit card reform. This was a bridge too far for centrist Dems, who ignored Sanders' proposed amendment for a 10% cap in order to protect their Wall Street overlords. CC interest rate caps still over 30%, while prime rate is at 7.5%.

White, Christo-fascist rural ones. The only ones that matter in mainstream political discourse. You know, the ones where rates of substance abuse, poverty and teen pregnancy are just as high as poor Black and Latino communities.

"I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it," he said. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." -LBJ
