Trump serves the same purpose for libs that he serves for conservatives - he gives them permission to be their worst selves. Conservatives view him as aspirational. Libs view him (correctly) as vile, and (falsely) conclude that they are good people as long as they're not quite as awful as him.

Update: Summers is out. Next question: to what extent is Harvard student life policy driven by the requirement to serve known pedo Larry Summers with a steady supply of undergraduates to harass, then silence those undergraduates?

People should *especially* condemn ethnic cleansing which takes place under the guise of religious practice or theough religious institutions, as this is virtually guaranteed to lead to the equation of judaism with zionism and therefore engender anti-semitism

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

CBP agent who threatened to shoot people on the street in Illinois.
Major content warning for some of the commentary we found on Donahue's account. He's opposed to mixed race relationships and women voting, and he cheers on a gay bashing and makes a death threat against a drag queen.
He's not a big poster, but follows exclusively far right influencers.

Genuinely shocking that this case was brought against a Republican Congressional staffer.

“With your [students’] permission, I will continue with my teaching obligations.”
That’s not consent, Larry! What are your students going to tell their world-famous professor, other than a quiet “Sure, ok”??
Admin should remove him. The whole controversy is about his power play with a student.

Lindsey Halligan should be immediately disbarred.

One of the most liberating truths I’ve learned, and the one that white folx, particularly white men, still struggle to face, is this:
The myth of white supremacy explains your behavior.
It does not, and has never, determined my value.
