People are rightly disgusted by this speech, but it’s a measure of fascism’s normalization that many see this as more of the awful same rather than what I think most of us who’ve been reporting this beat hear it as: a significant calculated escalation. Full alert stuff.
JD Vance gets the biggest applause of his speech so far when he says "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation"

This is straight-up, unvarnished Klan language from the Vice President of the United States.
We've had a lot of racist vice presidents and this one might be in the running for top of the list.

Curzon is missing. I let him out back to do his business and he just disappeared. I've looked and I haven't found them. Anybody if you're in the Potomac/ Bethesda area please keep an eye out.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.
