When Trump admin officials get asked why a certain sector of the economy is so bad, 90% of the time their answers begin with “we inherited.” Did everyone forget what Biden inherited in Jan 2021? Or what Obama inherited in Jan 2009? When are Republicans ever responsible?

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

The effort to paint Charlie Kirk as some sort of model for practicing politics and a beloved figure across the spectrum is bizarre.

Just a month ago, South Park was mocking him pretty mercilessly.

CNN vs Democracy Docket.

Why does CNN simply repeat Trump's lies without noting he has ZERO authority to do this?👀

I spent the 2010's arguing with my white colleagues that we were facing a crisis in newsroom diversity. The smart, dedicated, talented cis white journalists I thought of as my friends didn't want to hear it. Most of them ignored me. At least one of them told me to go to hell.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

As someone who lost his mom in the last year, this "Call Your Mom" ad AT&T is running during NHL games is a nice little dagger out of nowhere.

But, damn, they're right. Call your mom. Call your dad too if you still can. Some of us can't.

Reporters:

Here's a simple question that will generate viral stories.

"How exactly is it Marxist?"

The response will be a dodge, so you've got to stay with it and follow it up.

"No, you said DEI was Marxist. What did you mean by that? Specifically?"

White privilege is being hired for a job you're not qualified to do, whining about DEI while screwing up again and again and again, and then being given extra time to "get it together" in the future.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.
