When will we learn that toppling other governments almost always makes things worse? Indeed, had we not overthrown the Iranian government in 1953 and installed a vicious dictator, we never would have ended up with the Mullahs we now insist we must topple. Pay attention.

Wow, look at this description of the mayhem in L.A. Man, sure am glad Trump sent in troops! (Oh wait, this isn't re: L.A...it's a description of the white boy riot to protest crackdowns on underage drinking at Washington State University in 1998. Never mind).

"Well, we are all going to die."

Damn, y'all, I've heard some cruel and bizarre statements from politicians in my lifetime, but Sen. Joni Ernst saying this directly to her constituents during a town hall regarding concerns over cuts to Medicaid is an all-timer. Jesus.

Grok Pivots From 'White Genocide' to Being 'Skeptical' About the Holocaust Elon Musk's Grok chatbot from xAI is no longer posting about the myth of 'white genocide' in South Africa but has dabbled in Holocaust denial.

So we've reached the Holocaust denial phase of Elon's racism. Seriously, time for this guy to be financially and reputationally destroyed beyond repair. He is officially the worst person on the planet

We need a one million percent tariff on Afrikaners. No need to import white racists. We've managed to make tens of millions here

This is a good start, but River Road is long. May the spirits of the enslaved rise and burn all the concentration camps that, like Nottaway, downplay their evil. No more wedding receptions. Either confront the sickness of white supremacy or let it all burn.

Here's hoping that karma is contagious

The message from the fire at the Nottoway Slave Labor and Sex Trafficking Camp is simple enough:

If some of y'all keep trying to erase Black history, the ancestors just might burn yours to the ground.

Keep pushing.

'There's a gun in there': Republican lawmaker insists cane carried by Democrat 'is a prop' Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN) warned that Rep. Al Green (D-TX) could be concealing a gun in his cane after he shook it at President Donald Trump during an address to Congress earlier this year.The Rep...

Oh look, a white lady who sounds like what cornbread would sound like if it could talk, calls a grown (and older) Black man, "boy." Because of course she did

Four of my books were banned at the Naval Academy but Mein Kampf and the Bell Curve are still there.

So just to review: racism is ok. Antiracism is not.

This is the entire history of America.

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, but even worseโ€ฆ

Those who would erase the past are intending to repeat it.

Hands off our history.
Hands off our libraries.
Hands off the NMAAHC.

The more Trump's economic policies hurt his voters, the more sadistic he'll become toward folk of color, LGBTQ folk, and anyone he views as insufficiently on his side, bc if he hurts those folks more, the psychological wage of whiteness/straightness will keep his cult together.

Pete Hegseth is the poster child for white male mediocrity. Inferior to his predecessor in every way, but still convinced that Austin was the unqualified one

Hereโ€™s all you need to know about Trump and his movement: they consider accurate historical displays about enslavement and racism in America to be โ€œdivisive ideologyโ€ but the statues of traitors who made war on America to be patriotic. These people are sick. All of them

At this point Iโ€™m expecting Trump to pardon Sam Bankman-Fried under the cover of fighting antisemitism.

History often turns on the smallest things. Like, Lincolnโ€™s decision to go the theatre that night, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, or the fact that Elon Musk didnโ€™t get his ketamine from Matthew Perryโ€™s dealer.

If someone comes to your door to detain you for exercising your free speech, you should stand your ground. And I mean that exactly as literally as you think I do. Let that happen a few times and see how quickly they rethink their tactics

DOGE's "Wall of Receipts" is one month old this week. But the largest item on that list has always been wrong.

This is insane and is the kind of thing that Dems, if they had guts and werenโ€™t afraid of AIPAC would all be condemning.

I hear she does a helluva Eva Braun impersonation too. But the funny thing is she isnโ€™t really impersonating. Just mimicking.

Don't worry, none of the MAGAs who screeched about Democrats not standing up during the State of the Union when the biggest enemy cancer research in America has ever had used a pediatric brain cancer patient as a prop are going to take this deportation of a _U.S. citizen_ sitting down

Absolutely. And Jonathan Greenblatt is indistinguishable from Meir Kahane at this point.

I know it's illegal & immoral to wish harm against the president of our country. I would never do either. As for the head of Russia? I hope Ukraine destroys Russia's Army, captures Putin, and drags him down the street behind a truck, bouncing his head off every rock. Or, ya know poison before that

It's funny watching Elon Stans ride his dick over on X, ignoring how at least a few women have made it pretty clear it's not worth it.
