Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland: "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

“When I look at this picture I think about the five white human men who didn’t get into Starfleet Academy. What if one of them was a James Kirk, a James Leyton, an Arnold Kodos? That’s the kind of question the Civil Rights Division should be asking,” remarked Assistant A.G. Dhillon.

The one thing authoritarian leaders usually have going for them is the general apathy of the majority when they make a move solely against a marginal group in society.
But when they occupy an entire city with clumsy, brutal force, that just forces everyone out of that apathy.

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

I don’t like that line at all. I would be strongly disinclined to support someone who said it. But it’s not like Mamdani’s opponents support individualism. Their slogan is “obey the dear leader, conform to conservatism, and send the garbage back where they came from.”
“We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.”

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

What is striking here, of course, is that no one was apologizing for being white at any point, outside of some very unusual academic hothouse environments.
What the experience as 'apologizing for being white' is actually just 'accommodating non-white people living as full citizens and equals.'

Trump: "I think the people that have run CNN are a disgrace. I think it's imperative that CNN be sold because you certainly wouldn't want to just leave those people with some money so they can spend even more spending poison. It's lies. I wouldn't want to see the same company end up with CNN."

Trump Administration Fires 8 Immigration Judges in New York
With tens of thousands of people in immigration detention, Trump has fired about 15% of the nation’s immigration judges. It appears they were fired for being “too lenient” i.e. exercising discretion in granting relief from deportation.
