We keep writing about this destruction without getting to the core of it. “White Americans who are racially resentful towards Blacks, hold negative views of immigrants, and believe that whites are being discriminated against are especially likely to hold anti-democratic beliefs.”
Study shows growing link between racial attitudes and anti-democratic beliefs among White Americans
A new study reveals anti-democratic beliefs among white Americans are strongly linked to racial resentment and perceived white status threat. This connection has grown stronger over the last decade.

The Drake energy of this complaint is off the charts.
“He simply has too much sauce, your honor. Hold this man in contempt!” Imagine saying that in the public record and just going on about your day like you aren’t King Dipshit of Jerkoff Mountain.

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies.
She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas.
Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia.
I can't stop thinking about her. 💔

“I regret having to sleep out there so bad. I tell them, ‘I’m sorry, but I tried.’”
These kids deserved our protection. This mother deserves our protection. We are collectively failing one another.

Not to get all "parenthood changes your whole perspective," but I do think becoming a dad has made me even less tolerant of Bluesky's doomer brigade. I'm completely uninterested in having depressive strangers lecture me about how my daughter's future is written and there's nothing we can do.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
