1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

And don't think I can ignore the dynamic that nearly all of the feds present (so far) are white... and every county employee and cop is black.

The entire episode feels invasive. Pins and needles, and that's just 12 minutes in.

20% of the students at Justice Page Middle School in SW Minneapolis are attending remotely b/c they're terrified to leave their homes. Their families can't work & rent is past due.

Parents at Justice Page are trying to raise 100k to cover the needs of 50+ families — can we raise 10k of it?

So, quick question for the White House: If the racist post was put up by a White House staffer, how many people are posting using the president's name? Who are they? Who approves their posts? And why should anyone take anything coming from his account as coming from him if he's just staffing it out?

The distance between the U.S. government killing people on boats and the U.S. government killing people on city streets is pretty damn short.
The latest U.S. strike on a suspected drug smuggling boat has killed two people in the Pacific, this one authorized by the Marine general who took command of military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean earlier in the day.

Alexakis says she's not unsympathetic to the 'sullying" of Exum's reputation, but says she's more concerned about the continued sullying of Martinez's reputation by her own government, which has refused to retract any of its claims about her.

goes without saying, but every Republican member of congress should be asked about that disgusting video and their support for that man every single day until they are forced to give a response
I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

They don’t even have to go this high-concept. Make *the people who are systematically sexually abusing children and murdering your neighbors* the villains! Do that little! Why won’t they take that simple victory?
Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.

It's all there.

He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.

Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
