White supremacy is a helluva drug, and the GOP has been selling it for generations.

There were over 9000 people on an ACLU Zoom "Know Your Rights" training this afternoon. Practice saying:
1) Am I free to go? 2) I wish to remain silent 3) I do not consent to this search 4) Am I under arrest? 5) I want to speak to a lawyer
And, remain calm

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

And let the leaks begin. All Hegseth does is lie anyway, his press conferences are worse than useless.

We don’t hate America.

We hate what Trump is doing to it.

Gingrich taught young Republicans to demonize their opponents. The Tea Party taught them women and minorities were not real Americans. Trump/MAGA taught them they can hate without consequences. These young Republicans are the latest edition. There is no bottom.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

Hilarious. Trump is sabotaging this guy daily right before the election with his policy pronouncements and all he can do is plead with voters not to notice he’s a Trump ally. I’m sure NJ voters can REALLY count on Jack to stand up to Trump!

So much for Alaska’s Inuit support for her in past elections.
Lisa Murkowski stands up for no one but herself. Spineless or just self-centered?

All the whining about woke, CRT and DEI was just a flimsy cover for the deeply embedded hatred and contempt for those whom the Republicans consider to be inferior beings.

The descent from party of Lincoln to party of Hitler started during the Civil Rights era, accelerated w/ Fox, and here we are.

I have seen a range of opinions and reactions from across the ideological spectrum on the Young Republicans thing, but one take you really don’t hear from anyone is that they are shocked this was happening.

“Not going to be great” is quite the understatement by Fox here.

Tweet by FactPost (@factpostnews) reading: “Fox: The tariffs, 10% for lumber, 25% for cabinets, vanities, upholstered furniture. On January 1st, the tariff for cabinets and vanities increase to 50%, all the rest of the furniture to 30%. The cost of building materials has increased 34%. There is a concern that this is not going to be great for the home buying industry.” Below is a Fox Business screenshot showing a reporter in a lumber workshop with the headline “New tariffs on furniture & lumber take effect.”

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.
