We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work.

“Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.

Mark Kelly: "We have a president who doesn't understand the Constitution, who installed an unqualified secretary of defense. I cannot think of a secretary of defense in the history of our country that is less qualified than Pete Hegseth. He should've been fired after Signal-gate."

Gloria Vanderbilt by Gordon Parks, 1954
Vanderbilt was starring in Molnar's play "The Swan". The two had an affair that lasted years, & remained friends until his death in 2006.

"Anti-woke" is just seeking license to be an asshole.
Tim Walz: "Trump is like, 'this is language policing. You guys are woke.' Many times it's just about being decent to people and making them feel included. You can use that word, sure. But you shouldn't. And that's something that Donald Trump fails to realize."

Gordon Parks' 1942 photograph of Ella Watson, which he called "American Gothic".

"He was in an angry mood when he asked the woman to pose, having earlier been refused service at a clothing store, a movie theater and a restaurant."

The automatic speech-to-text system they are using really is appalling.

I think an aurally impaired person would have better luck figuring out what's being said by inspecting ancient runes.
I don't understand what is written on the screen in this photo, but it gives me life. Is it Dostoevsky?

Everyone needs to be calling out Trump’s extreme racism all of the time.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Honestly, the shortcut to getting this covered in the press is for a prominent Democrat to give a speech about it—no guarantee, but we can't expect the press to do it on their own.
I still can't get over that what's being pumped out by official admin accounts isn't the stuff of daily, scandalized headlines
They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.

This is who MAGA is now.
