Some people sincerely feel that:

— Migrants are destroying communities. It’s still racist.

— LGBT folk are corrupting children. It’s still homo/transphobic.

— Disabled people are burdens in workplaces. It’s still ableist.

Emotional sincerity without critical reflection makes dangerous politics.

Tucked up
I was flipping through channels and expected Hunger Games but got end of inaugural NHL show. A deck of cards was presented and the hosts got their faces on cards. Jokers, jacks, kings, and guess what the only black guy was? The Ace of Spades! It's not about woke. It's about respect.

Whether it’s freaking out about the new Cracker Barrel logo or some other bogeyman, remember this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

I'm still smdh over this stunt.
How desperate he must be to get that elusive NPP, simply because Barack Obama won one -

It’s very cruel to broadcast statements from someone who is so detached from reality

Isn’t anybody going to help this poor man

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Holy meatballs! He actually says he took away the Furst Amendment? That's grounds for impeachment right there.

Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only) @axidentaliberal.bsky.social · 5h

It should be universally recognized by every American-on all sides of the political spectrum-that no president can take away freedom of speech

After all, it’s the bedrock of our democratic system

But-sadly-with the corrupt MAGA Supreme Court

It sure feels like our rights are no longer guaranteed

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Not to excuse a single thing he did, but even Hitler was a vegetarian who loved his German Shepherds.

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority"—would give Trump absolute power to deploy the National
Guard where he wants.
This is why they’re lying about the situation in our cities and provoking violence.

Miller spilled their
fascist takeover intentions aloud.

Don’t take the bait.

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.
