I am a cisgender heteronormative white Appalachian man with no college degree or real economic prospects.
My views might be summarized as "you don't have to help another man up but for the love of God stop holding him down."

Saying this was considered so beyond-the-pale overtly racist it made Enoch Powell a pariah in the woke cancel culture of 1960s Britain.

The same article that notes that Vivek's net worth is 16k higher than the median income in Ohio also quotes him doubling down to a room full of Ohioans about his desire to eliminate teachers’ unions — stripping some of our most underpaid public employees of their right to collective bargaining.

Remembering the time we went to get our marriage license, and the guy at the desk was like “Ok. Are either of you currently married to anyone else?” And we were like, “…no? Wouldn’t that have come up already if we were?” And he goes, “You would be surprised.”

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

So a Republican bought Dominion Voting Systems, the company many Republicans say stole an election from Trump that he then lost hundreds of millions in defamation damages to, renamed it Liberty Vote, and now promises to restore confidence in voting which is a mission he says will take "years."

People who think forming a tenant union or housing or food co-op is just an unreasonable expectation like to publicly talk as if they will just naturally form their utopian commune should the "system" finally collapse or traumatically restructure.

There are absolutely no circumstances under which anybody loyal to the Constitution should vote to fund a government controlled by Donald Trump. They are covering their own asses by demanding that line not be clearly drawn.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

Aside from everything else wrong with it, DHS is a random grab-bag of agencies and missions thrown together less because they have any coherent common purpose and more because they were the ones who didn't have enough political pull to successfully resist being put somewhere nobody wants to be.
DHS is barely 20 years old. It was thrown together by a bunch of unsupervised interns in the chaotic wake of 9/11 (that's barely an exaggeration if you read about how inexperienced so many of its creators were).
It can easily be disassembled as well.
We don't have to live like this.
