A good way to think about how racist Woodrow Wilson was and/or the current administration is depending on how much you know about either is that it is fair to say that the current admin is at least the most overtly racist American executive since Woodrow Wilson.

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
85% of CEOs are white men.
All but one US President has been a white man.
65% of all elected offices are held by white men.
Roughly 30% of the population is white men.

F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

"I judge people by their genes," per the Vanity Fair piece.
I agree that Trump is unusually transparent, generally lacking hidden intentions, but I don't regard him as a blank canvas with *no* commitments beyond his own aggrandizement. I don't think I'm projecting when I say he is a white supremacist who is devoted to white supremacy as a political project.
Because he is, in effect, a nullity, because there's nothing to him, because he is transparent, it follows that anyone who sees content, sees depth, is capable of being surprised, is *projecting*.
This is why Trump is useful & somewhat fascinating: he is a blank canvas upon which people project.

It is pretty clear to me that the boat strikes are meant to provoke a response from Venezuela, giving pretext for both regime change and a (more grounded) invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.
It’s kinda concerning more people don’t see it — or that they do and they’re just not talking about it.

This this this. And if you, the public, cease to care, why should the President?
NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.
