This statement by JD Vance is no different from the people who claimed it’s “totally reasonable and acceptable” for white folks to not want Black people in their neighborhoods
Or to enact covenants which exclude Jews and Italians
It’s blatant racism-coming from the very top of the US government

Great framing.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Republicans control all 3 branches of the government and claim they’re leading us into a “Golden Age.” But they can’t figure out how to end a government shutdown, and they want us to blame the party that controls exactly zero branches of government.

🧵Trump is destroying the east wing of the White House to build a 90000 sq ft ballroom.
He said originally he would pay for the cost - upwards of $250M - by private donations (raising corruption comcerns) bu now says he might pay for it by the $230M he has requested from the Justice Department.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.
More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

If listing cases of 2025 US political violence, one would include the Charlie Kirk killing, the Melissa Horman killing (MN state legislator), and the CDC shooting.
The president omitting Horman and CDC, but reaching back 8 years for a non-deadly shooting to cite, conveys approval of those shootings.

People have trouble interpreting this. Nobody’s saying Donald Trump or Pam Bondi are personally selecting Nazi iconography. They don’t read enough for that. The point is they hire and promote Nazis who ARE steeped in Nazi iconography, and they’re fine with it.
Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.
