It’s true. We shouldn’t pretend that. Trumpist culture is not the same as American culture and not equal. Trumpist culture is proudly ignorant, defiantly against America’s founding values and subsequently developed values, venomously bigoted, and generally despicable.
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."
He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Kinda difficult to be a fan of US college sports right now. With so many schools being awful in different ways.
I like the Oklahoma Sooners women's basketball team. But I'm not going to root for them after their school fell for the most basic transphobic trap.

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

When buying a house is unattainable and jobs are disappearing, it's no surprise young people think they can’t succeed, especially young men.
It's not their fault. It’s Washington’s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.

Rick Scott lecturing America on healthcare spending is wild coming from the architect of the biggest Medicare fraud case ever. And the GOP plan isn’t enough to buy insurance anyway. Give struggling families cash and it’ll go to rent, food, medicine—because survival comes first.
