Fucking embarrassing. Thanks white voters. No this is going to suck ass

Every time Trump claims to have been exonerated, he's guilty as sin.
Trump: I have nothing to hide. I have been exonerated. I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I have been totally exonerated on Epstein.

It continues to irritate me that most of the voices which were so strident about the so-called Biden genocide in Gaza are completely silent on this.
I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration.
even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way

Apart from the substantial moral issues surrounding the shutdown of USAID, its closure represents a colossal blunder against our own interests, which were well-served by its generosity and role in promoting stability in that part of the world. We will be paying for this for decades.
I once tweeted - and people fought me on it - that the US could leave 80% of the global south to starve [or drown] and most white liberals would not give a fuck unless their iphone orders were late.

I love President Obama, but I take issue with this. Today's zeitgeist is a hellscape of mis- and dis- information. Maybe what we need is a loving but stern older figure to right the ship and instill some sense of responsibility in younger voters. Citizenship is a responsibility, not a game.

Take a moment to listen and share
I'm a boomer ..I agree with this 💯 Thank you President Obama...

This is consistent with the racism one finds in certain quarters of the Cuban exile community in South Florida. What Rubio doesn't realize is that the white nationalists here don't consider Cuban whites to be white. He's promoting the viewpoint of a movement that will never accept him.
Marco Rubio goes full White supremacist.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech Saturday at the Munich Security Conference in Germany. Rubio evoked great replacement theory, or what he called “the forces of civilizational erasure that today menace both America and Europe alike.”

He's right on this and we need to figure out why almost none of it resonated politically in a positive way. Biden's policies were, imo, objectively good, even if the political consequences were less positive. Fixing that is the challenge moving forward.
Biden was the most economically progressive president since LBJ at least, he pursued a full-employment economy at huge political risk, it worked spectacularly.
And what happened is that the entire progressive universe decided that he must not have done any of it, or else he would have been popular

🎯🎯🎯 If there's one thing we've learned from the Trump era, it's that there are plenty of gutter racists who went to the right schools, come from the "best" families, etc. etc. Racism isn't just a lower class phenomenon, although there's plenty of that, too.
i think a bunch of this is downstream of classism. “only yokels are actual white supremacists”

An incredible coming together today. Folks from Madison, Pickaway, and Fayette counties are fired up about @amyactonoh 💪
Counties across Ohio are tired of rising costs, failing outcomes, and a corrupt Statehouse.

It's worth noting here that the Nazis Musk so admires made extensive use of slave labor and being used as slave labor is an integral part of every Holocaust survivor's story.
it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man in the history of humanity is, objectively speaking, just a straight up Nazi
also the next democratic administration needs to throw him in prison

I think this view is correct. Having a sense of justice is a necessary component of being a great lawyer. The current SCOTUS fails this test, as does Bondi.
Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?
You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.
So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

Musk's role in shutting down USAID was a crime against humanity that will cause millions of preventable deaths from disease and starvation. Supervillain doesn't even begin to describe his malevolence.
Musk is a malevolent force in American life, driven by white nationalism and incredibly influential given his obscene wealth. He's a supervillain.
But people get that. He's deeply unpopular, with an approval rating in the mid-30s with Trump. We just need political leaders willing to take him on.

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

People like this could have chosen to leave others alone and live their lives. By choosing not to, they become enemies of a decent society because the hate they espouse becomes a malignancy that spreads and harms others. That's why they need to be neutralized.
These are my enemies because I am theirs by proxy of existing.
This is the white nationalist and pusher of antisemitism that the Trump administration is trying to get confirmed right now in the Senate. Shameful sick stuff:

What they don't understand is that the path to a majority of the delegates needed for the nomination runs right through the Black voters who are the base of the Democratic Party.
So many white male commentators think Newsom’s somehow going to win the support of Black voters because these commentators really don’t see Black voters.

The same stupid arguments were made 150 years ago with respect to Irish, Italian, Jewish and Eastern European immigrants, who were not then deemed sufficiently white. It's a garbage argument grounded in xenophobia.
This is the Great Replacement Theory. Pls Google it.
All about this unfounded fear that white ppl and white culture (wherever that is) are being erased by Black and brown migrants.
Notice how the racist witness crumbles when Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social pushes? Expert work—more of this, Senator!

Limbaugh would have gladly sold socialism if it made him a fortune. He was a mercenary. That's not to say he didn't contribute to the moment we're in, but he was in it for the money. If you want to see the plan, google the Powell memo, written by Justice Powell in 1971.
You people really need to touch grass. Limbaugh was a hateful entrepreneur. His only goal was to make money. You can hate him for that but seeing a big plan behind all this is just crazy.
I've said for years this is all a result of Rush Limbaugh's insidious agenda that he stoked, and set up to continue even after his death. He was truly the original architect of today's insanity. He paved a golden path for Trump and his ilk.

At a time when we have the functional ability to stop the spread of HIV, this administration elects to cut those efforts and allow it to spread. This is unconscionable and no doubt reflects the demographics of those most at risk. This is malign neglect.
The Trump administration is terminating $600 million in CDC grants for programs supporting HIV and STD prevention and HIV surveillance.
