Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.
This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.
i'm really having a hard time getting past the "surely we can all agree that Somalis are worse than trash" thing. this feels new and very bad

the 2000s and 2010s were full of people in the entertainment world being rightly fired for saying things that pale in comparison to what comes from prominent Republicans today and the main difference is that major national news media have accepted "Republicans are racist" as no longer newsworthy
the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

This latest reporting shows Bondi, Blanche, and others at the DOJ have been lying to the American people about the Epstein files since day one.
The less than 40,000 pages that have been released represent less than 0.01% of all the total documents.
They are hiding something.

So let’s get this straight:
Trump’s DOJ buried Epstein’s crimes but kept flight logs on Julie K. Brown, the reporter who exposed them. Her 2019 American Airlines booking shows up in the files.
That’s not a data glitch or an oversight.
