It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.

President Donald Trump isn’t a fan of former president Barack Obama’s presidential library, telling reporters on Tuesday that it's “not pretty” and he “needs help.”

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Another common delusion of White America is that their culture, their food, their music, their costume, their values, and their way of doing things is some sort of default normal and every other culture is a deviation from that natural state.
Rather than seeing their culture as one among many.

I realize this is supposed to be taken as "Trump being Trump". But it degrades the office. It numbs us to the reality that, more and more, the President's words are too outlandish to be taken seriously. That has serious consequences, whether we appreciate it or not.
The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.
And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie
