Father, husband, math lover. Truth still matters. Scapegoating is bad. "I voted for Trump because of the economy" is morally equivalent to "Hitler made the trains run on time". My anger is justified.

It's how you react when a vulnerable minority is scapegoated that reveals who you really are. Not what you say about yourself.

The Republican Party tolerates — if it does not actively endorse — his racism.
Those who normalize him enable racism. His agenda is grounded in racism."

4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.

So, has the staffer who shared that racist meme been fired, or is he still the President of the United States?

So, if it was a "staffer", who? Name them.
I give it 50/50 that Trump himself will undercut this story with his own mouth.

Pointing a gun at a person is assault. You don't have to pull the trigger. Self-defense is a justification for assault. But when ICE agents point guns at unarmed people who do not pose an imminent threat, and are not committing any crimes, the ICE agents are the ones committing the crime.

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994
The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.

The more a society forces marginalized groups to carry its misfit, the more brittle the society becomes. Each excluded person is a lost opportunity for adaptation. Each scapegoated group is a blind spot in collective vision.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

When you listen these motherfuckers talk about protecting our "culture", is there any doubt they would have been hard line segregationists 60-70 years ago?
