Republicans are segregationists.
NYT: North Carolina State Senate Approves New Congressional Map in Effort to Add a Seat

The map will further favor Republicans and help the Trump administration’s efforts to retain control of the U.S. House in the midterm elections next year.
I am so behind on Loot and The Diplomat. Gotta fix that!

Of *course* he is. Bernard is the king of shitting on the Democratic party and then demanding our financial support .

It’s not strategic. It doesn’t gain you any favor with Republicans. They do not care.

There’s just no justification for it. At all.

That has been the most frustrating thing about Dems to me.

You have very little power, if any.

Why the fuck are you voting in favor of ANY of Trump’s nominees??

It is one of the few ways to show disagreement and yet you vote right along with them.

Sickening.

We’re less than two weeks away from all hell breaking loose when those government payments don’t hit.

Just in time for Thanksgiving.

We were collateral to build this country and you’re gonna tell me I don’t belong here?—you didn’t have to “own” slaves to benefit from their labor.
PLEASE listen to this episode of the “1619 Project”. Did you know that enslaved people were used as collateral for mortgages and were a financial instrument on the London market.

With alt text and a note that it is really really hard to rack up a tab that high in Central New York.
Nothing says “America First” like selling out U.S. beef and soybean farmers to buy Argentine beef instead. #ArgentinaFirst

Right cause why is it only them that are “radicalized “
the other thing i’ll say here is i am a bit frustrated with the narrative of online radicalization that treats it as akin to brainwashing. it lets individuals, families and communities off the hook for the choices they make and the environments they foster
this also drives me insane, this idea that it is the most normal thing in the world for a young (white) man to have a nazi curious phase. it isn’t!

I'm endlessly running into people who apologize for saying political things and say things like "I don't want to get political, but"

that thinking needs to go

politics is life

not talking politics helped normalize these authoritarian chuds
They do not be subtle! 😆

BRUH. They’ll argue you down excusing Nazis and racists. Anything to avoid admitting that maybe just maybe Black people know something about politics. It’s wild.
it will always be crazy to me that people would rather defend a nazi tattoo than listen to Black people about politics.
It isn’t. You’re a shit person whose parents didn’t raise them properly. Period. Didn’t America get into a whole war about this?

The overwhelming amount of political violence is and always has been from the white American Right.
