This is the result of a lot of people pretending racism is one of the greatest taboos in our culture while failing to address racism substantively. People are appalled by the idea of being called racist while being totally committed to upholding racism throughout society.

Without an idea, you’re just polishing a turd.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

I try to explain it this way to friends:

If you are white and get pulled over by the cops, you wonder how much time and money its going to cost you.

If you are black or brown and pulled over by the cops, you wonder if you are going to survive the encounter.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

profile for Sabine Hossenfelder (@hossenfelder.bsky.social), whose account here seems to just be links to her videos, and no interactions with anyone. But the topics of those videos include some horrible things.

I didn't realize Sabine was over here, but when I looked at her feed ... she endorses the "low white birthrates" stuff, in addition to being anti-trans and friends with noted sexual harasser/friend of Epstein Lawrence Krauss. So, I recommend blocking as fast as possible.

#OtD 15 Oct 1966 in Oakland, CA, the Black Panther Party for Self Defence was set up. The Party would exist, despite heavy repression, until 1982 and did things like feed breakfast to children and run community health clinics. Learn more: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

They can’t update their website with a plan but they can kick the knees out fo somebody whose making waves form someone older than my momma !

The party throwing full support behind Mills suggest not a single other elected official from the Maine House of Representatives down to city council is a more suitable candidate than the 79 year old Governor, and I just don’t think that could possibly be true but “they’re lazy” seems reasonable.

I understand that there are right ways and wrong ways to have the age conversation about Dem leadership and I don’t know how I feel about specific solutions like age and term limits. I do know THIS PART HERE is a problem bigger than any one individual 78-year-old and it’s making us all furious

The influential pundit Democratic officeholders actually listen to the released an essay openly declaring that both factions of the party believe things went “overboard” with identity politics. That’s why they can’t make any hay out of the gutter racism of Republicans.

This Saturday BRING FLAGS LOTS OF FLAGS OUR COUNTRY - OUR FLAG

My local Indivisible group is calling for flags for #NoKings it's probably a good move, but MAGA spent so many years defecating on it that it feels tainted.

We need to reclaim our colors.

i don't have the words to emphasise how seriously bad things are gonna get

Rolex subreddit post: My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.

Insomniac here, hoping to fall back asleep.

The Young Republicans worship the same ideologies as the old Republicans. We should only be surprised that this leaked, not that it was happening in the first place.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

Visa and Mastercard have the opportunity to do something really funny.

People need reflection. I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed.

You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

"a test"? you mean...a violation?
