The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

SCOOP: The Trump administration has instructed employees and grantees not to use U.S. funds to commemorate World AIDS Day — because the observance was started by the World Health Organization.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

There are a lot of people who are getting their information from memes and politics-flavored content, then turning around and making their own content based on it, and it’s making this problem worse.
People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.
Why Nikki Haley’s son went radical: His generation inherited insecurity.

I profile Nalin Haley, a fascinating young man, who I believe will likely play an important role in conservative politics in years to come.

If you are not a New Yorker, you cannot understand the feral solidarity the pandemic created for us. It's why Sliwa likes Mamdani over Cuomo, despite the fact that any time prior to 2020 Sliwa would've been running the Islamaphobic nonsense.

This really is part of it. So many of them rolled over without putting up a fight, so scenes of ordinary folks demonstrating and standing up to ICE goons are foreign and a bit shameful to them

This is such a braindead take.

For my family in Eastern Kentucky, the part that everyone keeps calling Trump Country, the demolition of the East Wing has been the straw that broke the camel's back.

Blows my mind that that's what did it, but this take could not be more dead in the water.
The educated liberal big city US folks outraged at Trump's renovation of Lincoln bathroom really need to scroll some Facebook of their less established relatives and friends to see what kind of aesthetic resonates with Trump's target audience.

The Regime effectively has every "major" avenue of media under their thumb, and they still can't win the propaganda war.

This is delicious. Keep pointing out that reality is actually cool and hopeful. Because it is.
But it's also weird they ask people if No Kings was violent, like it was a matter of opinion rather than fact that it wasn't. It's true some people think the earth is flat; it's not true that it might be flat as a result of those opinions.

This is the advice I give people a lot. I’ve been out as trans for 8-ish years, I’ve been sober for just over 6 of them. I always say that they are both things I wanted to fix all the broken parts of me, and what they did instead was give me a life worth putting the necessary work into.
realistically, the only problems transition and sobriety can solve are the problems of having not transitioned and not being sober. that’s it. but it's not nothing.

they also potentiate a whole life you’ve been waiting to live. if you’ve been thinking about it, here’s your sign to give it a shot.

The strength of Platner's fundraising and his polling even after all this came out should speak to the electoral potential of attacking billionaires and advocating for strong social programs.

@zohrankmamdani is a deeply thoughtful human being and we think he would make the best NYC mayor imaginable. We feel this as New Yorkers, as Jews and as human beings who are desperate for kindness, compassion and empathy to be represented in our politics.

Wouldn't know it either from the way the Left talks about working class woes...
About 60% of U.S. workers are not white men. Wouldn't know it from Trump's Department of Labor.

Are we still supposed to pretend that neither bigotry nor misogyny are key to Trumpism?
