This is so deeply at odds with the vision and history of America. Take pretty much any ethnic or racial group that are part of the American mosaic America today - they have all faced the same accusation. The moment these accusations are turned into policy are some of the most shameful in US history

I’m of no importance but I think it’s silly to omit the importance of the wordcel sites on modern policy and culture. The disconnect allows the absurdity to exist.

A Trump post has direct impact on a tariff schedule but people will also dismiss threatening death sentences as some pantomime.

Sarah Beckstrom seems like she was a wonderful person who had a bright future ahead of her. Such a tragedy.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

I’m interested in the power laws behind these sites. Truth Social is simultaneously a low rent social media site and the official comms directory for the president. His posts get shared all downstream.

The average person would however consider most of his posts as nonsense.

Modest discounts today. Plenty of shoppers despite the weather. I don’t see dire straits yet at least.

It should be clear that we’ve passed the veil of nationalism and central control in the White House. This is a great place for them. They can stoke anger and ego while pilfering everything around him.

When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷
