Pay close attention to who wants you to do The Reading and who only wants you to read their interpretation

I want you all to just watch how quickly mainstream media moves on from this story now.

Dear all writers: If you can't quote what the person you're defending actually said, maybe don't defend what he said?

The world, subsection America doesn’t care about women or children.

Removing Black and Brown people, both immigrants and citizens, while immigrating White South Africans, the descendants & often the beneficiaries of apartheid, speaks volumes.

This administration makes it clear who they are. Believe them.

Great Replacement Theory in action…

On day one, Donald Trump suspended the refugee settlement admissions program. But now he’s giving white Afrikaners U.S. citizenship because they “could be assimilated easily into our country”?

This isn’t a dog whistle—it’s a freaking bullhorn!

Again, I'd implore my colleagues in the media to stop using euphemisms around "diversity" and "anti -DEI".

And start saying that this these efforts are racial and gender purgings. That these efforts are segregationist.

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

MSNBC Cancels Joy Reid’s Show in Major Shake-Up Ms. Reid’s 7 p.m. program will be replaced by a panel show co-hosted by Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele.

Joy Reid’s evening news show on MSNBC is reportedly being canceled in a major shake-up

Ah, the 1930s Germany frame.

But in the post-reconstruction era, America had Jim Crow, the resegregation of the federal workforce, and deadly pogroms against black people in the South.

We’ve been here before. It’s just it didn’t happen to white people.

Where do yall think Germany learned from?

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

There is Edward Kelley, who was pardoned for assaulting police at the U.S. Capitol, but who is now fighting another case. In November, a jury convicted him of conspiring to murder the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents who investigated his Jan. 6 participation, with evidence showing he had a “kill list” of targets. Kelley now argues that conviction should be tossed out, too. The Tennessee man believes that President Trump’s blanket pardon covering “offenses related to events that occurred at or near” the Capitol on Jan. 6 extends beyond that day. Other defendants are similarly arguing they should be absolved of other alleged crimes, such as illegal gun possession and child pornography, discovered during Jan. 6 investigations. At least one defendant has died in a post-pardon altercation with police.

Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump say it should absolve their child-porn charges, too www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Black history is only offensive if you side with enslavers, segregationists, and other racists. It slaps if you have morality.

"Sure there's an American flag built literally from the backs of Black men, but I can't imagine what message Kendrick was trying to send." - white guy at the new york times, basically

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

A little late evening news dump from the Pentagon….they’re kicking out NBC, NYT, NPR, and Politico and replacing them with New York Post, Breitbart, OANN, and HuffPost….insane

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask:

"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"

And see what happens.

As an epidemiologist I am horrified. This white man, who is not a scientist nor a physician, is saying on national television that Black people should not be vaccinated due to a racist myth that only OUR immune systems don’t need them.

If he is confirmed, our people will die of preventable diseases

why did I watch this press conference 😕 those of you defending this man & his “leadership” are under a strong delusion

Every single report on the Trump funding freeze — every report on Medicare portal, Head Start, homeless veterans programs — needs to mention immediately WHY. The freeze is in order to complete an ideological purge of so-called “woke” programming. This is IMPORTANT, y’all.

woke up to the news of the blackhawk and plane collision here at dca, damn
