this is the unspoken but absolutely clear argument at hand.
That’s the thing man. If they are to be taken at their word the only takeaway is that there should be no black people in any job any other white person wants. One quick Google search for any of these jobs would show there are usually one or two minorities are best in a unit of 20 or 30 or more.
UAlbany, one of those, NY state universities, has been hovering around 4 percent tenure track Black faculty since ever. I am THE Black tenure track political scientists. These folks are just little liars.

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?
Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

One small way to try to re-establish social trust would be to transparently disclose *in this very column* that you hung out with Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump didn’t just know Epstein. He attended the parties repeatedly. Repeatedly.
At the very least, he knew what was going on.
Release the Epstein files.

The abomination of a speech that was given tonight makes clear that the Current Occupant of the White House is not well and nobody around him has the capability to tell him that and to prevent him from a truly public manic episode.

The President is calling for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged. This is deplorable, un-American, & an open invitation to political violence.
Servicemembers take their oath to the Constitution, not to any president. I stand with my colleagues who have honorably served this nation.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

When Donald Trump took his Great Orange COVID Spreading Ass to Walter Reed, for treatment my patients were not eligible for, who took care of him?
Nurses.
This is the thanks we get.
To give more money to the rich in his Big Billionaire Bullshit Bill.
Supported by the GOP.

Every single news story about Trump hosting MBS at the WH today should include the tremendously lucrative business deals the Saudis have done this year with Trump Org to enrich Trump and his family personally, which is the primary reason why this is happening.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

How about our bang-up DOJ?!
They refuse to interview Epstein's survivors but brought a puppy as a gift to Jeffrey's child raping, sex trafficking partner who was given 20 years to keep Trump's name out of her mouth?
Great fucking optics!

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.
It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.
