This post by the world’s richest and most divorced man on the site he bought to promote his far right extremism is ripped straight from the Klan messaging of the 1870s or the 1915 film Birth of a Nation that inspired the Klan’s rebirth as a PR stunt/Ponzi scheme/terrorist organization in the 1920s.

In spirit, content and intent, this was really no different to a Klan rally.
The exception being the wholesale absence of outrage in mainstream media.
This period of history will be an indictment on those standing silent, as much as the monster himself.

Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."
The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

What’s remarkable about Scott is that her philanthropy isn’t an effort to offset the moral choices made in earning her fortune, as was the case for the Carnegies et al. As far I can tell, it’s just unadulterated beneficence.
NEW YORK (AP) — Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott increased her donations to nonprofits in 2025, giving $7.1 billion.

Dem Sen. Michael Bennet, who is running for #COGov, has come out in favor of Colorado pursuing mid-decade redistricting.
CO would need a constitutional amendment to move forward. A grassroots group is pursuing one: www.redistrict.co

Good moment to honor her genius and share my favorite song of hers.
Up until recently, I thought "Emperor's New Clothes" was recorded in response to the uproar about her prophetic appearance on SNL, where she tore up a picture of the Pope in defiance of the Church's systemic child abuse.

Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."

Holy shit this back and forth between Kagan/Alito/Jackson/&the SG.
Kagan: Doesn't your logic mean a whole raft of other agencies must be invalidated?
SG: Yes, but that's not being litigated right now
Kagan: So what?
