Striking how easily you can get millions of people to vote for a boot on their own face just by lying to them about the boot going on someone else's face.

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

Unquestionably, major policy changes, edicts and directives handed down by the new Trump administration will upend lives. But I've also been struck by the widespread efforts to erase/whitewash history. Stick with me for a pretty shocking series of events from just the past few weeks.

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask: "Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?" And see what happens.

"Either democracy was on the ballot in November or it wasn’t, and if it was, it makes no political, ethical or strategic sense to act as if we live in normal times." @jamellebouie.net has it right. Dems in office need stop cowering and start making some noise. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/o...

Hard disagree. Harris/Walz campaign was too centrist, which contributed to 24 Dem loss. (that, and the general racism+misogyny of a slim majority of voters - can't blame everything on the campaign, voters need to take some responsibility)

School vouchers are a re-segregation tax, in which everyone is forced to pay the most racist white people so they can avoid sending their kids to schools with minorities. The only plus side is that the schools suck and don't help their kids get into better colleges. 🙏

A lot of men are gonna be mad that their US history classes were too busy to cover The Hatpin Panic. The Hatpin Panic was a period in the early 1900's where we had to pass laws limiting women's hatpins to <9" because men started to get too fucking free with touching and were getting shanked for it.

We need a massive public communications campaign to warn the public about crypto. It should highlight first-person accounts of people from all walks of life who lost their money due to the crypto scam. To strike crypto is to stab the heart of the tech fascist movement swallowing our nation.
