Today’s renaming of military bases for Confederates, re-installing of Confederate statue, denigration of Black holidays, refusal to acknowledge Black contributions while decimating civil rights by an openly white nationalist administration is all to signal the “restoration” of the racial order.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Most queer people have heard the terms "top," "bottom," and "versatile." But there's a fourth sex role that many folks haven't heard of yet: a "side."

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Are you a slightly effeminate man or a somewhat butch woman, or do you know literally anyone looking like that? Then this crap affects you. It's a charter for bullies to cause harm, and nothing more.
You're not asking trans people. You're asking all people. This affects us all. Anyone could be barred from services based on appearance. Since, surprisingly we all have a fecking appearance

Sometimes when people tell me that they're Christian, I wonder HOW Christian. Like, do they think just atheists go to Hell or will it also be Jews, Mormons, JWs, and Catholics (not to mention those upstart Unitarians, Lutherans, & Presbyterians)? 😱🔥😈🤘

I'm sure the Anti-Defamation League will happily explain to us that this is just an "awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm" and that we "should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt," just like they did with Elon Musk's Nazi salute at Trump's inauguration. JFC 🤦🏾♂️
