For sure. But in this case these people on Nextdoor are (something) enough that they would still deny the ubiquitous white supremacy and racism, despite (gestures all around).

people want ‘the evil personality’ to be complex and interesting, but the truth of evil is that it is an absence, a lack, a void (arendt, augustine). one can’t really understand “nothing”—but one would hope people would have the sense at least to recoil from it

Why Donald Trump scares you so much — and why it matters - Salon.com It's not just you — we were born to fear predators, and Donald Trump fits the profile of a psychopath

Here’s a piece of mine about Trump’s psychopathology that was published before the 2016 election:

Remember when people said that his supporters weren't racist.... or that racism wasn't "salient" to understanding them.

It's not "their own graphic novels" if they're using something that's likely plagiarizing other graphic novels.

How I Became a Populist My time at the Federal Trade Commission—before Donald Trump fired me—totally changed the way I see our political divide.

"I used to think that the defining fight for our country was between the left and the right. Now, I am much more worried about the money at the top crushing everyone underneath."

I continue to be an @bedoyausa.bsky.social fangirl.

so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery!
now I'm bedridden for recovery, which is at least a great improvement.
I'm still broke though, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much!

There are 3.4 million agricultural producers in this country splitting a $12 billion payoff.

$3500 each isn’t really going to make them rich… although it might pay the lawyers’ fees for their upcoming bankruptcy.

Trump Accidentally Sabotages Case for Bombings in New Interview Fiasco The president’s claims about the boat killings and his pardon of the Honduran ex-president in a new Politico interview should finally convince Republicans that they, and we, must get to the bottom of ...

Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings.

One theme here is the speed of American institutional collapse.
“It took Erdoğan 15 years to do what Trump did in 100 days. If [Americans] do not accept the fact that this is a long game, and it will be brutal, I think you won’t have the patience and stamina to bear it.”

We had some early signs that Latino voters may be shifting toward Dems in far greater numbers than white voters in districts like TN-07 and this may be the dam breaking

"The Muslim community was there for us in November, and while I'm president, I'm going to be there for you" — Trump, at the White House Iftar, in May

"Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With the little [makes a noise]. With her little turban." — Trump, today

Trump on Dave McCormick: "I know his wife. She's a beautiful woman. Extremely into the social scene. But respected by everybody. She would have left him if he lost, and I told him that."

Rob Tracinski is running for Congress!

Okay, so Tracinski is to the right of the median Bluesky voter on the old-timey political axis. But he's unquestionably on the Fight wing of the Democratic party, far further to the Fight than the median elected Democrat.

So I think this is great news!

I Factchecked Trump’s Big Politico Interview – Because Politico Didn’t! Interviewer Dasha Burns allowed the president to tell lie after lie, and also failed to push back on his racism. So here is a rebuttal from Zeteo.

“Politico FIFA-ed Trump into giving them an interview. Having flattered Trump into an interview, Politico then flattered him with a series of softball questions.”

i think all the time about how trump is one of the most singular, atypical people in america, whose entire life experience, going back at least him as a teenager, is so profoundly different from and unrelatable to almost anyone, including his own social class peers
