The state could have backed him but instead they demonstrated for the thousandth time that there is no level of respectability that will prevent white people from serving you up on a platter in order to appease powerful racists.

When people email me, saying, "Jack...I am so tired. Have any words of wisdom to help me find the motivation to keep moving?," I say this:
If you woke up and discovered a spider on your face...would you need to be motivated to get up?
As a someone in this country, you have a spider on your face.

It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence.

So, kindness, compassion, loyalty, courage, and honesty are gay qualities? Because these are the qualities both men and women should be looking for in a partner.

Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

Side note, never classify every person from a red state as a MAGA supporter. We have allies in every state that need our support.

It seems some habits of American thought die particularly hard.
I admit I don't follow this world too much -- I pay attention to the main fascists not the pseudo intellectual fascists.
But here's Curtis Yarvin, who JD Vance is reportedly a "disciple" of, arguing for the institution of slavery. He tries to dress it up in bullshit, but its slavery.

Again:Journalists are not stenographers. We are to get information, report and verify the facts, and then report the reality not the talking point. What Trump is doing in DC and threatening in cities is NOT a crime crack down because he says it is. Don’t regurgitate. Report the truth not propaganda.

The answer is cities w/high transit ridership.
I have developed fairly high end tastes - I prefer a $15 cocktail over a cheap beer. But riding the bus, I’m around people who don’t look like me, dress like me, shop like me.
The most class mixing happens where those of all incomes ride transit.
