To those (of Indian origin) transitioning (or peeking in) from the birdsite, here is a starter pack to find your people, hopefully? Unless you're RW, in which case, I don't care to get you started, anyway.

One day the White House “ballroom” will be a museum cataloguing this country’s descent into autocracy, including horrors we have yet to see.

Trump is America's reckoning for what it has done all over the world.

Rachel Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com · 3d

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

They are both supremacists, exclusivists, with a long legacy of oppression. Ironically, the Hindu right that prides itself on its top predator position will be discarded like a soiled diaper once their purpose for the GOP is filled. It's already happening. And I must say, they deserve it.

Hindus for Cuomo should be qualified as Upper Caste Hindus for Cuomo. The RSS pillawal will love this corrupt nepo baby, of course, especially. As he's up against a Muslim.

Holy cow who is running Andrew Cuomo’s campaign and how do they not understand the difference between South Asians and Southeast Asians.

A screenshot of a post from Andrew Cuomo’s verified X (Twitter) account.
The tweet reads:
“Today we launched Southeast Asians for Cuomo — a powerful & diverse multi-denominational grassroots coalition of Hindus, Muslims & Sikhs — uniting Southeast Asian New Yorkers behind our vision for a safer, fairer, more affordable city.

NYC’s greatest strength is its diversity — and together we’ll make sure its best days are still ahead.
#SouthAsiansForCuomo #Queens #NYC #FightAndDeliver”

Below the text are four photos arranged in a collage:
1. Top left: Andrew Cuomo speaking at a podium with a blue and orange sign that reads “South Asians for CUOMO.” Several men are seated behind him, one wearing a traditional South Asian kurta.
2. Top right: A group of people holding blue signs that say “Hindus for CUOMO” and “South Asians for CUOMO,” some of which include Hindi text. The attendees are smiling and raising their hands.
3. Bottom left: An audience of mostly older South Asian men seated, clapping and holding signs; the background is decorated with orange and yellow fabric.
4. Bottom right: A woman in an orange outfit smiling and clapping among a diverse group of South Asian attendees.

Now in a position of power at the network, Ms.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · Apr 10

In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.

Protesters slam Fed spending
Hundreds gather at Salem Tea Party to rally against bailouts, state-level taxes
BY DENNIS THOMPSON JR.
Statesman Journal
Hundreds of people uneasy over the future of their country gathered on the state Capitol steps on Wednesday to protest federal spending and state-level taxation.
Oregon State Police estimated more
SCRAP THE CODE
than 1,000 people attended the Salem Tea Party protest, which ran from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Organizers placed attendance at more than 2,000 people.
The rally was passionate but peace-ful, although many people carried handmade signs bearing stark and angry messages. A fake wooden pitchfork read "Politicians take note. We the people are about to revolt." Anoth er sign read "200+ years to build the Republic, 3 mos. to destroy it."
Many attendees said they were motivated to protest by the billions in stimulus spending and bailouts that have been doled out in recent months.
Willy Lowman of Falls City wears a label on his head that reads "Scrap the Code" at the tea party protest.
West Salem resident Steve Albin said he
came to protest federal bailouts of banks and automakers.
"They need to fail. That's what capitalism is all about," said Albin, who had a tea bag dangling from the brim

It's best they don't. He doesn't need the opportunistic endorsement of AIPAC backed establishment.
