Why Doesn’t Trump Pay a Political Price for His Racism? Immigration isn’t breaking our society. We are.

Immigration isn’t breaking our society. We are. 🐔🌮🍊🤡 What matters is not what individuals do, but whether they fit Trump’s narrow, racially defined view of who Americans can be. American conservatives are now led by the most vile collectivism humanity has known. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

A Desperate Trump Is Stirring Up Race Hatred A barrage of bad economic news has spurred Trump to unleash his hate-infested id on any nonwhite target that flits through his overtaxed brainpan.

As Trump becomes desperate to reverse his free fall in approval, we’re witnessing a striking inversion of the old “economic anxiety” saw: In an effort to distract Americans from the economic anxiety he is generating, Trump is sowing race hatred among his followers www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The twisted reason why Trump is bombing Venezuelan boats For this administration, war crimes are a feature, not a bug.

The sick reason why Trump is bombing Venezuelan boats 🐔🌮🍊🤡 The biggest scandal facing the U.S. military is not that it committed a lawless strike on defenseless victims, but that it is led by men who believe such criminality is morally permissible and strategically sound www.vox.com/politics/471...

I Still Feel a Tiny Bit Sorry for Olivia Nuzzi She violated every journalism ethics code. But her childhood set her up to fall for a string of incompetent daddy-figures too lame to protect her.

Olivia Nuzzi lost a coveted post as Washington correspondent for New York magazine when it emerged that she’d had a sexting romance with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after profiling him. Nuzzi is back with a new book and a publicity tour. Mainly about herself. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Olivia Nuzzi’s Tell-Nothing Memoir Can “American Canto” turn scandal into literature?

There is no real regret in American Canto, not even when Olivia Nuzzi acknowledges that RFK Jr. used her badly and discarded her. If RFK Jr. turned up at Nuzzi’s door tomorrow with a single rose and a hopeful smile, she would fall for it, and him, all over again. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The MAGA Nightmare is Almost Over, America. This will all be over soon, America.

The MAGA Nightmare is Almost Over 🐔🌮🍊🤡 Few cults survive the passing of their leaders, and MAGA will not outlive the departure of Donald Trump from the White House or from this earth, whichever comes first johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-maga-n...

RFK’s individualism rhetoric hides a deeper public-health threat The debate isn’t about “trusting experts.” It’s about who shoulders responsibility for staying healthy.

A Terrible and Avoidable Tragedy in D.C. Trump was warned that members of the military could be attacked.

We are not at war. But Trump’s use of the National Guard suggests that he thinks we are not at peace. 🐔🌮🍊🤡 The National Guard is stranded somewhere on this battlefield of partisan politics. They are not ready for this arena. We should never have asked them to be. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Elon Musk’s great failure shows why he is so dangerous Doge may have been quietly wound down, but the irreparable damage left in the department's wake is still being counted

Elon Musk did real and lethal harm as he all but scrapped entire government departments such as USAID 🚘🚀❌ He cut more than $30 billion in global grants. About 5,800 members of staff lost their jobs. As many as 600,000 people died as a result — two thirds of them children. inews.co.uk/news/world/e...

Olivia Nuzzi’s Real Victims More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

We know too much about Olivia Nuzzi’s personal life. It’s all a distraction. The only thing you need to know is that Olivia used her position of power to advise and elevate the world’s most prominent anti-vaccine activist to America's most influential health position. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
