/2 Bad Bunny stands for “immigration” because he’s not white. His existence within the United States — and particularly his broad popularity and great success — are an affront to Trumpian white nationalist values. That’s the WaPo message, brought to you with Jeff Bezos’ Amazon smile.

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

No decent person or organization should be on Xitter any more.
Yet again, Elon Musk is pushing the insanely racist Great Replacement Theory that has directly inspired several mass murders from his fellow white supremacists.
The richest man in the world who controls a massive media platform is *repeatedly* pushing this garbage and it should be a global scandal.

I have a political Theory of Everything.
Almost no one has any idea of what the government actually does, or how it does it.
So it’s hard for them to understand when it starts doing it badly.

Dependent minors required to have their social media public- wow
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I’ve been in the East Wing. It’s amazingly beautiful. If you were visiting the White House, this was where you’d probably come in.
Trump just totally destroyed it. Knocked it down like a dilapidated garage. Without any approval or oversight.
This is the People’s House. He has NO right to do this.
