BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Read that again.

Ok all sarcasm aside, what these white supremacists are really talking about is when they are asked to apologize for doing racist things. Which happens. Because racism is something to apologize for. What they are saying is that no one should have to apologize for racist actions or statements.
Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

Heads up that this is authorization for Trump to create his own version of the Wagner Group. Which would bring the number of “armies” at his disposal to four:

*regular armed forces (most regulated)
*ICE (minimally regulated)
*private mercenaries (?)
*MAGA thugs/militias (rogue)

All pardonable

No one is less serious than an American threatening to move abroad if “things get bad here.” First of all, we already have secret police disappearing people to concentration camps, so uhh, what are you waiting for? Secondly…other countries have to actually want you. And they don’t.

Really kind of dispiriting to realize how many men in my world see the women and people of color in their lives as thieves and obstacles to their thriving.

“Not all men” as an excuse applies to misogyny and transphobia, but it also applies to racism (& xenophobia).

When most of the people of a group with NON-gendered privilege willing to call it out are the women of that group, it means that male accountability must extend to those other privileges.
Regular, everyday white men.

In 2026, let’s normalize accountability for cruel, weak men who hurt women and try to silence them.

Her age could have be doubled, tripled, or even quintupled and it would have been just as creepy for Trump to say those words to her, as he’s a serial rapist. No girl - or woman - is safe with him, her being a child simply aggravates the problem.
Trump just told an 8 year old she sounds “very beautiful and cute”.

Epic failure to read the room.

Creepiness factor turned up to 11.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

“You have arrived in hell.”

That’s what the CECOT director allegedly told immigrants.

Human Rights Watch said
“Detainees were subjected to constant beatings and other forms of ill-treatment, including some cases of sexual violence”

This is what CBS doesn’t want you to see.

The Epstein files aren’t a left versus right issue.

It’s about power, wealth and patriarchy.

Epstein didn’t care about your political views, he cared if you could pay his price.

These men didn’t care about the victims, and patriarchy protects them.

We have to overhaul the entire system.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

The top three quintiles of America’s economic distribution need to contribute more, but the top 10% need to pay MUCH more.
Mitt Romney, “we have reached a point where any mix of solutions to our nation’s economic problems is going to involve the wealthiest Americans’ contributing more.”

Piggybacking on this, when it comes to social justice regarding systems of oppression other than patriarchy, women are generally more aware and understand the stakes more than similarly positioned (or increasingly, more marginalized) men. This includes WW vs WM.
The clever ways they navigate patriarchy. Nothing smarter than self-aware Black women. They're wildly inventive.
Just heard a man ask other men besides anything sexual... Why do you like women?

They’ve already BEEN doing this in youth detention facilities and ICE facilities.

This is just Congress legalizing pedophilia for the police.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
