What was that the late President Johnson said? "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Forget politics for a second - Trump's just a horrible, broken human being, a malignant narcissist, etc. What he should be doing, of course, is expressing sorrow at the loss of Sarah Beckstrom, certainly not talking about how much he won her state by. WTF? bluevirginia.us/2025/11/frid...

Abigail Adams, wife/close advisor of US President John Adams & #womensrights advocate, was born #OTD in 1744.
This quote, from a 1776 letter to John, is one of the earliest recorded calls in American #history for women’s legal & political equality--written right when the country was being born.

Democratic messaging to our military about killing civilians extrajudicially is too polite. Soliders, sailors and Marines need fair warning that at a future point, a restored military judicial process will review these slayings, and those executing an unlawful order will be subject to that process.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Trump is okay with the brutal assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, but was up in arms over Charlie Kirk. I guess assassinations are "okay" if it's your dictator buddies doing it.

It's profoundly different to cover a U.S. president than state or local officials, and too, much harder to vent publicly if you're female. But if in my reporting days, if anyone from a police sergeant to the mayor of Baltimore told me, "Quiet, piggy," I'd immediately insist he go fuck himself.
