US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

As a native New Yorker I will absolutely never pretend that we don't have rampant, virulent racism here in NY, but, um, a whole bunch of my wife's family lives in Mobile, Alabama, and let me tell you that whenever we go there it is a completely different world of racism.
as a white liberal with Southern roots, quite frankly, I think other white liberals from the South need to get the fuck over their oddly defensive attitude about what should be pretty blindingly obvious.
I understand why some white liberals from the Deep South want to insist that there isn't something distinct (and bad) about Southern political culture but the problem with this is that we wouldn't even have this idea of "The South" as distinct from the rest of the US if there wasn't a there there

A good object lesson in how easy it is even for self-described leftists to fall into the conservative mindset of “nonono, there’s no systemic discrimination, individual quality is what decided those outcomes”
Personally, I think the idea that all women should be measured by the failures of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris is actually a sort of sexist doomerism.

One of the very small but very significant factoids I always keep in the back of my mind when prowling through the mass of HIGHLY questionable political comments attached to literally any post On Here is that the median age of a Democratic primary voter is *much* closer to 65 than it is 25.
Ask yourself who among these illiterate 20 year old pricks actually has real power in the Democratic party. They don't. They have shouting on bluesky as they stomp their feet and demand to be let in. We will never let them in. No Kings is ours.

This is true, that said, I've watched this happen a lot, with BLM and Pride where key organizers or organizations have unleashed unhinged antisemitism and the 99% have just kinda stood by, and as a Jew you're left going "okay but is the person next to at this protest an antisemite?"
I think it's really bad that the antisemites at 50501 have dirtied the reputation of No Kings protests and they need to be fired out of a cannon into the sun but I also think it's really important to pull our head out of our ass and understand that 99% of No Kings attendees are still normal libs.
