The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

The Department of Justice should be renamed The Department of Just Us, with "Us" meaning wealthy white land owning men.
The "again" in MAGA always meant the era of Jim Crow and Antebellum America, and every move this fascist regime has made is devolving the USA to that era.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Western media is normalizing what is happening; this is not normal. Your pride, your preference for privilege at the expense of others, your willful ignorance, your lack of empathy, your disregard for facts and science, is leading us ALL down a path that will be difficult to survive.
Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.
