The vile comments against my colleagues in these texts is unacceptable. They also reveal why it's so important to call out the ways structural racism reproduces itself, and why it's doubly important for white people not to personalize that when your colleagues of color find the need to do so.
The Mercury has obtained a series of images of group messages that show racist, sexist, and homophobic tropes used by a local developer and other local conservative political activists during a council president election. Readers may find this content offensive.

If Minnesota doesn't at least try to charge the murderer in the ICE uniform, they should just return the Battle Flag of the Virginia 28th. There's a fight for freedom from tyranny or there's surrender.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Trump is a clear and present danger to our democracy and our national security. He must be stopped at all costs. Both parties need to join forces and impeach indict and incarcerate this madman.

I’m angry and saddened by the actions of the Trump regime enabled by the inaction of our Congress. But, I will use that anger to resolve to do what I can to help build the mass movement we need to put an end to this grotesque era of new imperialism so we can turn our swords into plowshares.

Seizing control of a foreign country without even informing, let alone getting authorization from, Congress is one of the gravest offenses against the Constitution.
Maduro was a horrific dictator. It’s irrelevant. Our own dictator claims power to levy taxes, spend funds, and wage war single-handed.

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
