The question isn't whether an evil man will be evil. It's what good people will do in the face of it. TOO MANY people still want to overlook the obvious. They find all kinds of ways to explain why he's not really evil. They are the problem.
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.

The fact that Epstein had ties to the scientific community is not news, but the enormous cache of documents released by the DOJ last week was still startling. It showed just how deeply Epstein was involved—how many were in his orbit, and how deeply involved he was with some research.

I'm old enough to remember when Trump was accusing the Clintons of forging the Epstein files. Now he's "bothered' that Comer is going after them.
Why Trump Is Suddenly “Bothered” by Clintons Testifying on Epstein
Republicans are the ones leading the investigation—but President Trump is still worried about what it means for him.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

I think it's important for white liberals not affirm the bad faith of Republicans by acting like this is shocking. It's not shocking, but expressing shock, even if you are genuinely shocked, actually helps Republicans cover their asses. So be mindful.

Three thoughts.
1. It’s always been about the white nationalism
2. He is returning to the old favorites because his support is waning
3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness

I think low info voters are a source that's largely untapped by a party that's too scared to tell them what they really want and how the Democrats will give it to them with their support.
Don't ask morons what they want. Tell them.

We live in a country where several tens of millions of citizens are “low information voters”, a euphemism for poorly educated, easily deceived and manipulated people. Until that changes, we are always at risk of demagogues like Trump

Lost in the Don Lemon story is this. Armstrong led a religious protest against a religion appeasing evil. This fact is lost, b/c the press corps strips the religious expression of Black people, representing their acts as only political. This allows the right to claim religious persecution.

I've seen people say "why are we talking about this racist thing Trump did, we already know he's a racist." Sure, but what matters here is not the intent of Donald Trump, but the impact of the Klan shit he regularly circulates, on the nation of which he is the President. bsky.app/profile/seth...
American illiberalism (in all of its forms) is very much a deeply-rooted force in US politics, but it is not some inert backdrop...it is constantly being renewed and remade by new generations of rhetorically savvy haters like John Kasper...haters of diversity, haters of equity, haters of inclusion.

The racist video posted by the President is perhaps the most egregiously racist thing shown in the White House since Woodrow Wilson screened Birth of a Nation there in 1915. Here's an article from Denver's Black newspaper in 1915 calling for Americans to denounce such racist imagery.

I truly believe many Americans care more about dogs than people. This is for them. ICE officer kicks a dog.
TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.
