This administration is full of terrifying ethnic-cleansers, and I've heard everything they've said echoed by their voters long before Trump was anything but a joke. Some people just deep-down want the government to eliminate their neighbors.
you will never understand politics if you cannot accept that *some people want bad things*. not because they've been tricked, not because Capital has manipulated them, because they *have bad values*

Why were them white ppl over here in the first place? This is like yall saying you’re not white, you’re Irish American.
This is my yearly reminder that
A) The Pilgrims never turned on the Wampanoags. The Puritans who did were a whole different group of people.
B) Thanksgiving became a holiday to celebrate whooping the Confederates.
Sometimes we can just enjoy traditions without guilt!

yeah Thanksgiving should be understood as a Civil War holiday more than anything about colonial America

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

It’s much worse than the deplorables comment because that one was at least true, but of course this will get none of the media coverage deplorables got
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

One thing I have no patience for is "there is nothing to be thankful for" doomerism. If Americans were finding things to be thankful for in 1863, two and a half years into a bloody Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln formalized the Thanksgiving holiday, then I can find things to be thankful for too.

journalism is often functionally the institution of paying young people who speak Left and Young fluently to justify the behavior of the establishment, which is neither Left nor Young
Every journalist post: hey guys I know you think that we should have said something about the child trafficker who hung out with our boss and emailed with our coworkers, but you guys are making some real journalistphobic assumptions and forcing us to do emotional labor, please examine your attitude.

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)
And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.

“prison abolition” in terms of like, “have something basically unrecognizable compared to american corrections” seems fine to me—the problem is just overdoing the language to sound radical. I think that’s where people started, and then negatively polarized themselves into much dumber positions
the thing about the prisonculture story is that she gives herself the simplest possible problem -- "a despised outsider in a society with no deviance immediately confesses to a murder and raises no justification" -- then whiffs the response by torturing the perpetrator and saves them by fiat.

i have agreed with stancil and i have disagreed with stancil. he has sharp elbows. but the accusation that he is a raging transphobe is not connected to reality. and the weaponization of "i'm listening to trans people" to smear someone because you disagree about fucking econ polling is disgusting
No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia
Listen dude, you can try and ride for this guy all you want, but the trans userbase of this platform fucking hates him because he picks on them. I'm going to listen to the trans people I know who are telling me he's bad. Plus I've been in these threads and seen it
