Again it’s not good that the most prominent leaders of the party keep insisting it’s a trap to talk about “identity” when the Trump administration is pushing white supremacy.
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25
Pete Buttigieg critiques Democrats for focus on identity
The former U.S. transportation secretary said the Democratic Party should focus more on issues gripping the country, such as health care and housing affordability.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

Rudyj (Pan’ko) fell from 6th floor to 1st floor roof. Shattered jaw. Not sure why I’m sharing this since I don’t really know anyone on Bsky. But since I’ve sworn off other social media I can only post him here. Hopefully he will be back to terrorizing our other cats relatively soon.

This is the kind of thing you do if you don't care about government revenues (read: deficits) but you do want an excuse to put a lot of non-English speakers in jail.
Exclusive: Trump administration officials are considering eliminating multi-language services at the IRS, according to records obtained by The Post, a move that would make it dramatically more difficult for non-English-speakers to file their taxes.

The IRS launched its own tax filing program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.
Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program.

Why? Because if Trump can legally say “We can’t bring him home” without having to prove it, that means he doesn’t have to bring anyone home. And if he doesn’t have to bring anyone home, he can send anyone there forever. END/

”white supremacist book purge” is exactly right. it goes along with the segregationist purge of the service academies.
Some horrifying details on the white supremacist book purge at the Naval Academy library:

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.
The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.
Federal prisons prep to move trans inmates as early as next week
