Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

The modern American right in 2025, folks.

We finally made it to "Heavy with History," the Devin Allen installation at the Baltimore Museum of Art. It's been a challenging summer, one that left me feeling uncharacteristically disconnected from Baltimore. Spending time in this room changed that. 1/2

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

ngl it sucks to work & know the whole time that, with zero conspiracy or overstatement, the taxes you pay on that income are going to a government controlled by a party that has currently shut down the federal government to protect the world's most notorious pedophiles

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities.

Rural impact of proposed Medicaid cuts...

"1.5 million...more than one out of every ten rural residents who would be covered by Medicaid under current law—will lose their coverage."

"On average, rural hospitals are slated to lose 21 cents out of every dollar they receive in Medicaid funding."
NRHA in partnership with Manatt Health recently released a report on how proposed Medicaid cuts will impact rural enrollees and hospitals in rural areas already struggling to keep their doors open. Read more: www.ruralhealth.us/nationalrura... #ruralhealth

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

This is the kind of sweeping, truth-telling journalism we need more of. Good job, AP.
Deep cuts erode the foundations of US public health system, end progress, threaten worse to come
Americans are losing an array of people and programs dedicated to keeping them healthy.

They attacked, traumatized and fired the competent public servants, and now want your sympathy for being out of their depth.
Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."

(Note that Brian Kilmeade has to encourage him lol)

America First = America Alone

Unprecedented: the U.S. is the only country out of 184 to see a drop in international tourism this year. Everyone else is rebounding. We’re projected to lose $12.5 billion in spending—jobs, small businesses, entire communities will feel this.
