If the shooting was “not related to the RNC,” why would cops from Columbus, Ohio be involved in the first place?
Also, pretty on the nose for cops from a red state to come to a blue city and kill a homeless black guy on the second night of the RNC.

It’s no mystery why Marc Andreessen thinks people like him should be in charge. But how did he get so many of the rest of us to sign on?

A great illustration of how class is just vibes is that only one major party ticket is entirely Ivy League alumni and it’s the one that yells about the elites selling you out

When whiteness as inherently apolitical, and non-whiteness in inherently political, the greater visibility of nonwhite characters will seem like political messaging. Hence the “woke” freakout over The Little Mermaid, which was no more “political” or “woke” than the original.

Also, if the natalists were serious people and not just racists with a delusional understanding of their own intelligence, they’d just be pro immigration, which would increase birth rates by itself. But it’s always “more babies! But not *those* babjes!”

A Quiet New Deal is going on, and Biden is doing all the things Trump pretended he would do and will immediately steal credit for.

Trump's claim that he will "NEVER" restrict birth control is a flat-out, easily provable lie.
We know for one big reason: He spent four years relentlessly attacking contraception access. He was more successful than most people know.

Trump says he would "NEVER" take away birth control — except he spent four years doing just that
Trump's attacks on contraception were unrelenting — he even asked the Supreme Court to block women's access

The conservative justices’ position is that the constitution is colorblind and that’s why it’s ok to be racist.
