Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Department of Homeland Security boasted of "the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced. Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

I mean define poor. I’m a nurse and my health insurance sucks. And now, after saving everyone during covid, we can look forward to risking our lives with measles, too. Humanity is awesome!

Woke early to catchup on all the anxiety I missed while I slept.

Dude, read the room

Same. Journalism doesn’t mean journalism any more. This is not reporting.

So much of what’s happening seems fuelled by the remarkable pressure to “take a side.” And that gets positioned as a partisan side.

Is “reality” a side now? Is basic morality a side? I’d ask if empathy was a side, but Kirk already stated that was a “made up new age term” that he “couldn’t stand.”

The guy was a fruitcake. Why are we continually reposting his shit? This is the same as elevating Trump. Make a statement that he was a nuthouse and turn off the spotlight once and for all.

The now inept FBI under Kash Patel ( who is taking credit) did not catch that shooter- his father did.

Trump Demands the Smithsonian Deliver Shiny, Happy History His fascistic insistence that it eliminate “divisive or partisan narratives” reveals what he doesn’t understand about history and about America.

The American story as it actually has unfolded - a nation slowly, imperfectly realizing its founding ideals - is only divisive to people who are racists.

Hard not to notice looking at the coverage that establishment Democrats are still somehow expected to solemnly accept a share of responsibility for political violence while the insurrectionist pardoning, carnage loving godhead of the other party continues to foment freely.

Gov Healey in Massachusetts did, too.

Yes, I have been saying this as well. We are we even paying attention? It’s gross, yes, but they benefit just as much from our clicks as anyone else’s

I personally think maybe we should stop feeding into it and ignore them. I’m tired of it. The flags in Massachusetts are at half mast because our very blue governor ordered it. I’m tired of capitulating.

It’s like Wall-E, the movie, was inspirational for us because we have trashed the planet and now don’t want to think any more either

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

Mass Dems convention floor in Springfield, Mass

What did YOU think of the @massdems.bsky.social convention today? I saw some passionate democracy in action and fiery speeches! #MaPoli #MassDems #delegate

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing.

it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary.

Grow some balls

"preventable traffic violence happens frequently but we don’t take these incidents seriously, judicially, socially nor traffic engineering-wise"
This is absolutely true here.

They push culture wars so we dont push class wars...

@redsox.com Hey RED SOX! Super disappointed about Nurses’ Night at Fenway being postponed because of this dumb Nor’easter! Sooooo many of won’t make it tomorrow because of work and scheduling last minute. Can you accommodate other nights for us? Signed, the Wound Care Team at Beverly Hospital🩷

The creepy manhandling never fails to fully enrage me

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Chicago is on to something.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

I think so too

Literally why the Impeachment Clause exists
