Oh look, a white lady who sounds like what cornbread would sound like if it could talk, calls a grown (and older) Black man, "boy." Because of course she did 'There's a gun in there': Republican lawmaker insists cane carried by Democrat 'is a prop' www.rawstory.com/al-green-cane/

Four of my books were banned at the Naval Academy but Mein Kampf and the Bell Curve are still there. So just to review: racism is ok. Antiracism is not. This is the entire history of America.

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, but even worse… Those who would erase the past are intending to repeat it. Hands off our history. Hands off our libraries. Hands off the NMAAHC.

The more Trump's economic policies hurt his voters, the more sadistic he'll become toward folk of color, LGBTQ folk, and anyone he views as insufficiently on his side, bc if he hurts those folks more, the psychological wage of whiteness/straightness will keep his cult together.

Kristi Noem can't protect her purse in a restaurant, but she's supposed to protect the Homeland from terrorism? Mmm-k, sure.

Pete Hegseth is the poster child for white male mediocrity. Inferior to his predecessor in every way, but still convinced that Austin was the unqualified one

Here’s all you need to know about Trump and his movement: they consider accurate historical displays about enslavement and racism in America to be “divisive ideology” but the statues of traitors who made war on America to be patriotic. These people are sick. All of them

At this point I’m expecting Trump to pardon Sam Bankman-Fried under the cover of fighting antisemitism.

History often turns on the smallest things. Like, Lincoln’s decision to go the theatre that night, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, or the fact that Elon Musk didn’t get his ketamine from Matthew Perry’s dealer.

If someone comes to your door to detain you for exercising your free speech, you should stand your ground. And I mean that exactly as literally as you think I do. Let that happen a few times and see how quickly they rethink their tactics

I hear she does a helluva Eva Braun impersonation too. But the funny thing is she isn’t really impersonating. Just mimicking.

Don't worry, none of the MAGAs who screeched about Democrats not standing up during the State of the Union when the biggest enemy cancer research in America has ever had used a pediatric brain cancer patient as a prop are going to take this deportation of a _U.S. citizen_ sitting down {*crickets*}

I know it's illegal & immoral to wish harm against the president of our country. I would never do either. As for the head of Russia? I hope Ukraine destroys Russia's Army, captures Putin, and drags him down the street behind a truck, bouncing his head off every rock. Or, ya know poison before that

It's funny watching Elon Stans ride his dick over on X, ignoring how at least a few women have made it pretty clear it's not worth it.

This heartbreaking documentary, which was nominated for an Oscar last night shows the inherent dishonesty of police culture. Just a gang protecting other gang members in far too many cases. These cops should have all been imprisoned. All of them. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

James Carville should take his tired Skeletor ass and ride off into the sunset. No one should care about, or listen, to a word he says. And that has been true for most of his career.

The idea that there is this huge number of people receiving SNAP or other "welfare" benefits who are able-bodied adults just lazing around on the couch is the biggest lie in politics. Absolute nonsense backed up by no evidence at all. Just classist/racist stereotypes...

Making America Great Again, clearly. But remember, Elon told us there would be pain but it would be "worth it," because to oligarchs, recessions are a great chance to use their $$$ to buy up more shit cheaply. It's always worth it to the rich. They never suffer. But they should. A lot.

Jeff Bezos is so pathetic he'll tank the WaPo just to please Trump so as to protect his other business interests. The Post was always a vanity project for him anyway. He only cares about Amazon and his penis rocketship. This is why the media shouldn't be owned by billionaires

One thing has gone largely undiscussed re: Trump's Executive Branch power grab. Namely, no one would seek to place so much power in the hands of the president -- over legal interpretation, budget decisions, staffing, etc -- if they worried about EVER losing again. So they must know something...A 🧵..

In response to the Trump administration signing multiple executive orders attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion, we’ve created the #ExecutiveDisorder project. This project provides the tools to understand and resist the white nationalist agenda of the alt-right. ➡️

The attack on USAID is fueled by indifference to the suffering of millions around the globe who will be harmed--and that indifference is fed by the fact that a disproportionate share of these are not white. Even this Trump/Musk move is fueled by racism. Everything they do is.
