Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

You know what - for generations, millennia, since the onset of patriarchy, man has centered maleness, himself. Now “others” are centering “others” revolving round otherness. He doesn’t consider the means or the whys of his oppression. No, he wanna cry cause women are calling out “toxic masculinity”.

“A close friend of Sarkozy lamented on a radio show that prison is “a shock for people like us, its terrible,” before concluding: “We’re not made for that, we’re not animals.” Leaving aside the speciesist undertone of that remark, who, then, are the “animals” deemed deserving of prison?

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

We’re not going to combat racism when trad media never confronts it. Not a word regarding the inherent racism or regimes desire to swell the numbers of white people in the US in this article.
