👇🎯 Your regular reminder that we can either be a full democracy, with equal rights for all, or we can be a white Christian theocracy. There is no compromise or middle ground between these things.
Pluralism is antithetical to Christian nationalism. If Jews (or other religions minorities) have an equal right to the mantle of Americanism it knocks over the whole sordid house of cards. This same fact also explains why anti-Blackness is so central to the movement as well.

NEW — I wrote about Beker Rengifo, a Montana resident from Venezuela who was taken by ICE on Thursday after a routine traffic stop, and how local law enforcement is working with the feds to ensnare people with legal status.

The spirit of the law and the intent of the law are the same fucking thing.
BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?
MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

The Reagan age, during which a neoliberal rhetorical style associated with Reagan shaped both GOP & Dems, ran from 1980-2016, clearing the way for the even more dishonest Trumpocene. Newsom can’t decide whether he wants to rhetorically be like Trump or Reagan. Neither choice supports democracy.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

Another victim recruited "dozens" of other girls for him. The scale of the abuse here is just mind boggling when you consider each new victim was recruiting others.

Can’t stop thinking about this. The Trump administration is essentially extorting hospitals into dropping gender-affirming care—without Medicare or Medicaid they’d go bankrupt. It’s akin to a backdoor ban even for people with private insurance, a proposal that wouldn’t pass Congress.
Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.
