I monitored these same sorts of white supremacists for years (to fight them), and let me tell you.
You have to CONSTANTLY, aggressively deprogram yourself.
Even just, the language. We are social creatures and we absorb the language we're around. Guess what words enter your mental vocabulary

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

Zohran walking into the Oval Office, focusing on his key policy platforms, and coming away with an unqualified win over Trump really puts into relief how bad the Democratic leadership is that it has been repeatedly rendered totally impotent and made to look like bumbling cowards by the Donald.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

I am so enraged. When bankers almost destroyed the global economy, they were bailed out by taxpayers. Today, we're destroying the future by collapsing higher education - and not only is it not being bailed out, but literally being pushed overboard by a gov't using our taxes to do it.

Why Is Larry Summers Still Employed?
The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.
There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders.
The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it.
This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.
Why is no one talking about this?

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes.
Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.
