Scott has given away nearly $20bn in 5 years and she is still worth the same amount as when she divorced Bezos. Kudos to her, but our economy is deeply fucked.

Yes, this is worth listening to.
In my very long memory of public affairs, have never heard a public statement by a "president" (a) more alarming in mental health terms, and also (b) more overtly racist and hate-filled.
Watch carefully the sycophants around Trump as he rants. They *all* know...

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

The air campaign over Yemen wasn’t a failure of execution; it was a failure of strategy. Biden and Trump both bet on airpower to coerce the Houthis, despite decades of evidence that it can’t force political change. Tactical success, strategic futility. My latest⬇️

We had MLK and Malcolm X and James Baldwin (and others) being just as eloquent and forceful on these issues, and that's within a lot of people's lifetimes. It's in our reach to do it again. Fingers crossed.

In Australia at the time it was pretty fucking bad. We certainly had a better government on the issue, but the general level of hatred against gays was pretty fucking awful. The language directed at them in public was pretty incredible. 90's was terrible but slowly improving.

I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that if a Democratic President pardoned a guy his family did business with and that guy was then accused of facilitating payments to Hamas, there would be Congressional investigations and editorial demands for impeachment proceedings
