I love how MAGA is upset at my Super Bowl posts and telling me not everything is about race even as they are a cult in service of a racist President whose presence forced the NFL to remove the "End Racism" slogan from the endzone. Hit dogs Holler in A Minor.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

The entire federal government should be sued for violating the civil rights act and employment discrimination laws for firing any black person they can get their hands on by calling them all “DEI” hires.

Perhaps I've misunderstood all along and WaPo ownership views "Democracy dies in darkness" as aspirational.🤔

My cab driver from LaGuardia was a Bush/McCain/Romney/Trump/Trump/Trump voter. He said that now that Biden has pardoned his son, he’s going to vote Republican in 2028.

"He needs a clip for the internet." It's obvious to the journalists at CNN that Scott Jennings does not engage in a lot of discussion in good faith. So why has leadership made him a core part of the network's programming?

Please arm yourself with knowledge. Birthright citizenship is not a policy choice it is a constitutional imperative (14th Amendment). It can no more be signed away by Executive Order than the First Amendment.

Trump falsely claimed that leaders in other countries are “emptying out their prisons and jails” to send migrants to America. But what is true is that Trump is “emptying our prisons and jails” to fill his cabinet.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

Watching Trump hold rallies where he incites violence after January 6th WHILE OUT ON BAIL is like watching bin Laden teach a flight school after 9/11.
