"Does this feel like or look like a well-run competent administration? It took them 10 months to discover that the United States doesn't grow bananas and that therefore if we tariff bananas that that's not going to bring banana factories on shore."

Medics and clinicians experience so much racism because nothing humbles a bigot more than reliance. The dependency embarasses them. And they would rather double down than admit to having deranged opinions. Even if it's too their detriment! Completely ridiculous

The legal profession needs to realize it failed and has to get better.
Coup plotters, Constitution-ignorers, rationalizers, enablers, the Supreme Court's calvinball rulings — all yours.
Your culture said move slowly, give benefit of the doubt, even treat it like a game. Far from all, but enough.

“In predicting who votes for or against Trump, racial resentment is one of the most powerful variables out there—more predictive than income, gender, education, geography, or attitudes about economic policy, gender, or religious traditionalism.”
“The kids are alright. The real problem might be older generations projecting their own racial anxieties onto them.”

The Shocking Truth About Gen Z Voters Is That They’re Pretty Great

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
