fwiw the white house deleting the post kind of disproves the people insisting its an orchestrated distraction

Yesterday @politico.com in California spent over dozen paragraphs ridiculing a silly phrase from @governor.ca.gov for no good reason. What are the chances an outlet like them or AXIOS will express any objective revulsion at Trump depicting Obamas as apes and call out his mental/health capacity?

you: republicans werent a cult of personality before trump me: i actually remember 2006 youtu.be/LeD8-SnLtwE

the president's comms channels can literally rock world markets and cause international and domestic chaos. so either option: he's intentionally posting racist stuff (my belief) or he's so reckless he's allowing rando staffers to post racist shit that stays up for hours (the white house spin)

white house narrative this morning: the president is NOT racist and you are FAKE NEWS for asking about it white house narrative this afternoon: it was merely a STAFFER being ACCIDENTALLY RACIST and the president definitely did not post the meme we said wasnt racist 3 hours ago

No, they don’t get away with “accident.” Caroline Leavitt defended it completely, as a reference to “The Lion King” and slammed the “fake outrage”

Trump's racist post depicting the Obamas as monkeys has been deleted, with the White House claiming "a staffer erroneously made the post." This comes after Karoline Leavitt defended the video, asking the public to "stop the fake outrage."

Cowardly and racist is an amazing combination. We all know that wasn't a staffer and that he meant that shit. bsky.app/profile/leba...

trump has deleted the racist post showing the obamas as apes, which leaves karoline leavitt out to dry for defending it to the hilt earlier.

hell im 48 and i was very alive when the nfl consensus was that all black QBs had to be "running" QBs and they just couldnt be pocket passers because ya know, wink wink wink and you'd be like "but warren moon..." "well there's an occasional outlier..."

Donald Trump is a racist.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

The NYT changed the entire framing of this story from earlier, when many of us were critical. Referring to something Trump did a “blatantly racist” is as direct as it gets.

Lukewarm pablum about kitchen-table reforms offends no one, and tests really well in polls. But chase those polls too hard and you become the Lukewarm Kitchen-Table Pablum Party that’s impossible to love and easy to hate.

Over on X, the Everything App, serious conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza shared a video of an AI-generated woman on a fake podcast he seemingly thought was real, telling the audience that young women should get with older men. Dude, wtf?

1. deregulate everything and destroy all regulators so nothing functions in the public interest under the pretense this "aids innovation" and "empowers entrepreneurs" 2. blame poor people and minorities when nothing works

oh yeah. its also black history month.

people need to see they need to see when the president is racist they need to see when kids are killed by gun violence they need to see when our bombs drop on brown skinned people abroad im tired of sticking our heads in the sand. people need to see.

I hope this happens every day for the rest of his miserable life lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

What an absolutely disgusting and disgraceful post by Trump. But this is who he has always been: racist to his core and rotten in his soul. Good people everywhere should stand up and reject this.

could do without the question part but overall good. this is the way.

This is racist garbage from President Trump. If you’re finding yourself defending it, you’re on the wrong side of history. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Donald Trump posted a racist, vile video of Barack and Michelle Obama. It’s an absolute embarrassment that the President continues to use a bully pulpit out of his own insecurity. Every single Republican should be denouncing this bigotry.

we cant tell ourselves myths like this. maga people do not read the new york times. the new york times is read and consumed by liberals. liberals are the overwhelming subscriber base and it is liberal dollars that fuel the ny times' crusades against trans people and democrats. we are the problem.

Holy shit it’s not great political strategy to constantly denounce your own voters?!

I'm sorry when was AOC a "left-wing agitator?" She was an elected member of congress. She didn't harass fellow members like MTG did/does. Is being left of Pelosi considered being an "agitator" by the NYT's? Does Kellen know what being a "left-wing agitator" means?

It's simple really, when it's outrage over some obvious and quickly corrected slip from a Democrat it's genuine and must be covered on a minimum of 3 front pages, when it's outrage about the President on yet another gutter racism jag, it's fake and will never make the print edition.

"this is just a distraction" please shut up

Today's @status.news has this about the Washington Post: The Post's chief executive Will Lewis, who was entirely MIA during the layoffs Wednesday and has not said a word about them, turned up at the NFL Honors red carpet in San Francisco on Thursday.

"Praying it was fake" really encapsulates the way MAGA just lives inside their own magical fantasyland.

"dont show the racism the president is doing" is a bad take imo. its another round of some liberals putting their heads in the sand, acting as if we just pretend the bad thing we don't like isnt there it will just go away.

you know its bad when even tim scott admits its racist

sounds like a cool presidential platform

If you haven’t figured out by now that Trump is a racist piece of shit, and that’s what drives his base, then you’re never gonna figure it out. Just a note for any reporters who need to see it.

trump is in a long tradition of hate by depicting the obamas as apes "A quick trip to the Jim Crow Museum will reveal evidence of the long and insulting history of simian representation of Africans and African Americans." jimcrowmuseum.ferris.edu/question/200...

trump said concerns about affordability are a "hoax" so the public listened to him

This is today in America: trump is ripping apart families & communities and regular folks are stepping up to help. Sorry to bust the MAGA bubble, but there’s no secret funding behind the protests or the neighborhood group chats, it’s millions of people furious doing what they can to help.
