Don't worry, guys

The streets of Minneapolis are about to be flooded with "pro-life" protesters waving "Don't Tread On Me" flags chanting "All Lives Matter."

I'm sure they're on the way, right?

Right?

For years now, moderates have decried the division of identity politics of Democrats, ignoring of course that the Republican Party was defined by identity politics itself — the identity of whiteness. Now that it’s explicit the inability to call it out and to cover it aptly is starkly disappointing.

Founding fathers can’t be blamed for not writing a constitution strong enough to curb the actions of a malignant narsisistic psychopath felon backed by a whole cabinet of incompetent sycophants propped up by a bought & payed for Supreme Court
But the Republicans can for not rebelling now #Epstein

This is so racist it needs a new category of racism to describe it but it's also stupid and pointless. You simply cannot purge the celebration of Black people and their accomplishments from this country in favor of celebrations of a dying pedophile. It's literally not a thing he's capable of doing.
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

The Republican hacks on SCOTUS start with whatever ruling will help their fellow Republican partisans and lazily work backwards from there, barely offering an excuse for their egregious hackery.

John Roberts keeps complaining no one respects them. Yeah, because we’re actually paying attention.

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

The Reconstruction Amendments were adopted to end slavery and provide Black people with equal rights, including the right to vote.

To use those same amendments as weapons of white supremacy today is not just legally incorrect—it is a tragedy.

In the minds of most Americans, we’ve tended to mythologize the Warren Court as most representative of the Supreme Court, when in truth, for most of our history the Court has ruled against minority rights, upheld the power of wealthy white men, and rarely protected the most vulnerable.

To my critics who say that my position urging Democratic governors to redrawing maps is simply a race to the bottom, I say this:

The only thing Donald Trump understand is overwhelming force. We shouldn't bring knives to a gun fight, we should be missiles. Unilateral disarmament is not an option.

Trump tore up the Iran deal during his first term b/c the nation’s first Black president brokered it.

In 2024, white America reelected an even more openly racist Trump and Christian White Nationalist gov’t overhaul b/c they didn’t want a Black Woman president.

Today, Trump started a war with Iran.

If this administration reminds of nothing else, it makes clear something I say all the time: race is the central organizing feature of American politics and American life. Nothing else comes close.

These fools can’t even talk about a tragic plane crash without talking about “DEI.”

As of this moment, the entire federal government is in violation of the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment —not b/c the government has ended DEIA programs, but b/c the government is discriminating against employees and new hires based on the color of their skin.

At this rate the Republican Party will be bringing back white sheets and dropping the hard ER in no time. It was never about the economy or the price of eggs.
