a real water is wet scenario here
POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

The context here, of course, is that the “local broadcasters” Carr is egging on are actually huge conglomerates with a pending merger before his office that would give them (and him) vast control over all broadcast television stations

The desire to sacrifice the safety of marginalized communities in service of a "greater good" really should be studied, because I promise you the devil doesn't need sympathy, advocates or whitewashing. And there is no greater good in pretending otherwise
fwiw i think what Ezra Klein was trying to do with the Politics The Right Way column was posthumously co-opt Charlie Kirk for something better and we'd be better off if it had worked

It’s not hypocrisy. It’s hate. It could only be hypocrisy if they viewed us as human. They do not.

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

As stated earlier by others, it does not matter what you post or do not post here. The right wing has their narrative they’re going to push, because they understand they are at war with democracy and that propaganda *works.*
Fox News' Jason Chaffetz: "I don’t think it was a coincidence that the shot rang out when you have a question about transgender mass shootings. Hopefully I am wrong. I will probably get criticized for jumping to conclusions... I don’t think that is a coincidence but we will see."

warren court was a (very good) aberration for the US
In the minds of most Americans, we’ve tended to mythologize the Warren Court as most representative of the Supreme Court, when in truth, for most of our history the Court has ruled against minority rights, upheld the power of wealthy white men, and rarely protected the most vulnerable.

Are there really no options for providing these basic services? The way we are dependent on these companies is disturbing.

Cannot emphasize enough how stupid, childish, homophobic and misogynist this all is. There’s not even a hint of a joke here. It’s literally just throwing dicks at women you don’t consider feminine enough. They should make every halftime one of these jerks shooting a fair one with the strength coach.
