Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whitenessโ€” for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justifyโ€”as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sinsโ€”that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

White people have been sitting by for decades watching them shoot, kill and lock us up at disproportionate rates for longer sentences for the same crimes for decades but now itโ€™s well itโ€™s cause you keep saying that this is normal that people are not doing anything. Please get the fuck out my face.

Miller claims judges are committing โ€˜legal insurrectionโ€™ and a charge that frames them as aiding โ€œterrorists.โ€ When White House Deputy Chief of Staff attacks the judiciary this way, we donโ€™t need to spell out how dire our circumstances have become.

ICEโ€™s deadly tally: 14 migrants have died in custody in Trumpโ€™s first year Since 2019, 69 people have passed away while in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement

The 1970 National Guard killings of 4 Kent State students sparked an international outrage. So far this year Trumpโ€™s ICE has killed at least 14 people

He sent the House home for YET ANOTHER WEEK because he cares more about protecting the Epstein files than he does about protecting the American people.

Watching the fall of democracy in real time is horrifying but fascinating.
That it happened so quickly with no pushback is also horrifying but fascinating.
A nation born of slavery, might makes right, and misplaced patriotism and jingoism, is doomed to fail.

Jack Danielโ€™s cuts off free cattle feed to Tennessee farmers after 45 years โ€” and it could โ€˜absolutely destroyโ€™ small local town. Whoโ€™s at fault? Itโ€™s a blow for farmers already battling rising costs and unpredictable weather.

Truwp won Tennessee by 20.3% ... 64.2% v. 34.5% of the votes.

It looks like they voted for this. Why aren't they happy??

Republicans own this mess.
