This just seems like the right thing to keep pinned to my profile.
I never workshop any of my dumb posts. That’s the Elliot Blake™️ social media guarantee.
i'm generally pretty live and let live about social media as long as no one is actively being harmed, but i am never gonna be able to take "collectively workshopped and artisanally-crafted shitposting for cloutmaxing purposes" seriously, i'm sorry

Everyone involved with this, everyone who signed off on allowing this, straight on up to the top, meaning Homan, Noem, Miller, and Trump, needs to be prosecuted and jailed.

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation,” said one attorney.

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...
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.

Absolutely right. Democrats backed a national ban on gerrymandering while Republicans pushed their advantage in key states. This evens things up but also draws us closer to real reform.
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

I enjoyed the French Olympic team’s opening ceremony outfits. A lot of pockets, at least one each for cheese, chocolate, demi baguettes, and cigarettes.

Virtually everybody running the US government right now hung out with those fucking people. This should be bringing the government down like we’ve never seen in this country, but instead the president is being asked about cruel tweets.

He never apologizes for anything he does. He’s incapable. He might blame someone else, but he’ll never take responsibility for anything bad, ever. And in this case, I’m sure he doesn’t regret it. He hates the Obamas and he’d do it again.
BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.

Q:  "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"

Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."

He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

Finally, an appropriately angry reaction from Jeffries that doesn’t sound focus grouped or consultant-tested.
BREAKING:

New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video:

"This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

The fact that this claim is risible nonsense should not stop drumbeat coverage of who the staffer is, who gave them access, what’s being done about it—it’s literally a matter of national security now

It wasn’t an accident, the racist president thought it was funny and posted it because he hates the Obamas almost as much as he loves money.

Fuckers. This is racism and vindictiveness at work, the two animating principles of the Trump administration. This kid and his dad did nothing to anyone in this country and they don’t deserve the treatment they’ve been subjected to solely for daring to come here legally with asylum.
HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today.

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.

Opened Bluesky for the first time today to see our current president once again posted horrendous racist material, this time mocking the Obamas, whom he hates. Not even surprised by it anymore, because everyday he shows us he’s a racist piece of shit unfit for the office or public life. Asshole.

Dems should be explicit that when they retake Congress and the White House they will be stripping his name off of everything.

Evil. This administration is full of bad, vindictive people. Dare to beat them in court and they will just keep coming at you. Utter shits unfit for civilized society, and they can all go fuck themselves.

Every president from Nixon on released their tax returns, but Trump -- who insisted he would follow that custom -- repeatedly refused to do that. So finally they were leaked, showing he paid only $750 in 2016 and nothing in 2017.

He's now demanding all of us, who *did* pay our full taxes, pay him.

Ditto
my most peepaw-coded trait is that I angrily refuse to use DoorDash (and similar apps) because I know the markup is so insane versus “picking the food up myself” - and that money doesn’t go to the restaurant.

By god, I will drive or walk my ass over to the restaurant and get it myself.

Obscene. The Klan was racist, Evers’ murderer was a Klansman and a racist. What are we supposed to take from the Trump admin removing that fact from the record? That Beckwith was just a pointy hood enthusiast? Come on, you fucking clowns.
Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963.

The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"
Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today
Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.
