Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

β€œ'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

Noem: They’re not photos. They’ve meant the world to the individuals at DHS

At the Smithsonian, Donald Trump Takes Aim at History The urge to police the past is hardly an invention of the Trump Administration. It is the reflexive obsession of autocrats everywhere.

Donald Trump’s executive order on history, which takes particular issue with the Smithsonian, aims to rewrite the darker parts of America’s past.

Apartheid Clyde a petty, dangerous, incompetent man but what always amuses me is how no one likes him and he can’t even buy his way into getting people to like him. He can’t buy a good sense of humor or good looks or good reputation.

If you like what you've seen from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic lawmakers this week, call and email their offices and let them know that. Evidence of public support gives lawmakers more clout with their colleagues to keep doing what they're doing. Constituent encouragement becomes influence.

Do Democrats Need to Learn How to Build? Liberals have long emphasized protections over progress. Champions of the β€œabundance agenda” think it’s high time to speed things up.

In their new book β€œAbundance,” the Times’ Ezra Klein and The Atlantic’s Derek Thompson argue for a β€œchange in political culture” through which liberalism, which has long acted to pump the brakes on building things, now works to β€œspeed up the system.”

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower.

Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.
