It'd be great if they did this when it didn't personally involve their own families, but baby steps I guess.
A top Republican in Indiana, whose daughter has Down Syndrome, just announced he will be voting to block Trump’s gerrymandering after Trump used the R-word to insult people yesterday.

The US government has declared its official allegiance to white supremacy and its intent to eliminate nonwhite people in the American population, and our political class won’t talk about it because THEY don’t want to sound extreme.

The "Larry Summers complained to Jeffrey Epstein that MeToo went too far" and "Olivia Nuzzi committed crimes on behalf of the fascist she masturbated with while reporting on him" are the same story: American elites have no ideology other than "I should be untouchable." Society is run by empty husks

I really wish he would just do what Jews who wanted to fully be accepted by the goyim have done down the millenia, and just convert to their religion.
There is no Jew worse than the Jew who desperately wants to be accepted by the white goyim
Some of the most grinding, daily antisemitism I experienced growing up in the Midwest was lead by a fellow Jewish kid that I now see as trying to create a space between himself and the other Jewish kids at school in the eyes of our peers

I think the “kidding aside” part of this thread is on point.

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

Coincidence? I think NOT
Seen on Reddit:

Lincoln’s original proclamation of Thanksgiving Day from 1863 doesn’t really go into colonist-native relations, but it does recommend “humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience.” www.battlefields.org/learn/primar...

The Hasmoneans survived as an independent polity 78 years. Bibi is desperately making moves that would ensure the modern State of Israel wouldn't beat this record. Do we think he cares enough about tradition to ensure the state should be dissolved on the 9th of Av?

Personally, I think it's OK to have national myths, as long as you don't mind if there are people who don't subscribe to them. You could do a lot worse than America the Bountiful and Welcoming. (though we should do away with indigenous cosplay)

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

Obama ran on a more moderate health care plan than Clinton, backed off after winning and passed Clinton’s health care plan, and the Democrats got pulverized in every non-presidential election until he left office, nominally because of health care
Lmao. This is absurd. Obama ran on universal healthcare (and won) then backed off and lost seats in the midterms. No other presidential candidate has run on a coherent vision of affordability except Bernie and the corporate media, DNC, donors and elected elites did everything they could to stop him

I understand the reasons some non-Americans have for using this, but this post is correct — you’ll be immediately ignored here if you use it.

If I wrote a post referring to “UKians” all the people living there would ignore me too, and rightly so.
If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

Annnnnnd now the West Virginia governor says he's not sure about the condition of the National Guardsmen.

Maybe best to not tweet out that they are both dead until, you know, you KNOW that is absolutely the case...
