Honestly. The thing I’m always struck by is their absolute lack of cultural fluency like normal people can just hear the multiculturalism that gave us like Van Halen and still drooling confused about why you can’t throw a rock in London without hitting a curry place.

Started… Going Pro-Trump far right Colombian congresswoman Angela Vergara cries over ICE snatching her son

Colombian congresswoman cheered ICE raids, but is crying after her son, Rafael Alfonso Vergara, was detained by ICE and is kept in "inhumane conditions". Far right, Angela Vergara was all in on tRump’s policies until it affected her. #FAFO #FuckICE #ProudBlue #Resist youtube.com/shorts/jg-HX...

clearly this culture must be preserved by removing the rich south africans

Okay so maybe the Irish had it bad but you know their fellows in the United Kingdom the Scots were JESUS CHRIST CHRIS WHAT NOW

One of the fun things about the dim eugenicists and bigot billionaires harping on generic "white culture" is they've mythologized concepts that they barely inspect. Irish and Italian immigrants were living in ghettos alongside other minority groups because they were not considered white at the time.

Ah yes, that quintessentially American ethnic group, the Irish, who never faced any discrimination whatever in the New World and wait my producer is screaming in my ear hold on

the thing about the descendants of this culture - ie my ancestors, my family, my dad - is that a discursive habit/tradition is passed down which is that it is a grave social offense to name things that are truly shameful as shameful, which is why they have to invent endless things to be ashamed of

"Everything You Need to Know About The 20-Year-Old Influencer Encouraging Steroids, Meth, and Taking a Hammer to Your Jaw" is an actual literal headline in Slate I just encountered right now and I think, perhaps, we have lurched drunkenly into ineluctable indignity as a society

This is great but to make it truly apt there actually should be two life rafts to choose between, and the other one is filled with poisonous snakes.

My law firm is now litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest number of cases in the most states we have ever handled at one time. And, while Big Law firms mostly sit idly by, the need to protect elections in court is only growing.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate. And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials. As the Constitution requires. Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape. After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

They’ll say ANYTHING.

Bullshit.

To the white folks who read the below and want to respond with some version of "but...but...not ME"...please note that what she said is fact. Our demo did this. The best thing we can do, as white Americans, is to work to change it. Talk to the GOP members in your life. Read books on antiracism.

“They’re coming for our children!!!” Who? The billionaire capitalists who have dismantled education and the media, leaving our kids to a future of indentured servitude and mass surveillance and made more susceptible to exploitation of all kinds by fascist pedophiles? “No, the transgenders!!!” 🙄

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

there is a tension between "the Democrats as a party are deeply flawed" and "the Democrats as a party are leagues better than the alternative," and there are well-meaning folks who choose to resolve that tension by rejecting one or the other of those facts

A less transphobic press might start asking "How does driving a doctor out of Scotland help cut NHS wait times? Why is Scotland better with fewer doctors? Which other minority staff would you get rid of?"

as someone who was raised catholic, this part was everything: “Despite everything, the femminielli didn’t stop because beyond folklore, this is an act of faith, an act of resistance,” said Lust Queen, a trans woman who read the Psalm at Mass. “We are here for all oppressed peoples.” ❤️‍🔥

It’s been a heartbreak watching transphobia turn people’s brains to jelly. A 50-something gay man insisted, “I played with a Barbie doll as a kid. Nowadays they’d insist I was a girl and force me to transition!!!” No. That’s not a thing that happens. Stop being a hateful fool 😡

Cass had the data and government resources to investigate whether this moral panic was true but instead of looking at it critically she just reinforced the panic.

"Nnedi Okorafor credits Le Guin with proving fantasy heroes didn't have to be white." WRONG. AI is just out here flat out lying about me. I never said this. No disrespect the Great LeGuin but no one ever needed to "prove" such a thing. Mschew. Anyone who knows me knows I don't speak like that.

I mean everyone here went gaga for that New Jersey guy with the flag yesterday, and here's the thing - that was great and people were right to love it. Good to understand that impulse, doesn't mean it's necessarily bad.

none of these people can conceptualize loyalty beyond a racial basis, as if people can never be motivated by anything except tribalism. the idea of fighting for rights, ideals, etc just doesn't compute to them

🧊 had secretly bought up warehouses across the country to use as detention death camps. But local residents where the camps would be located have fought back by putting pressure on local officials w/great success. See the map to determine if your town is affected & call your local officials to 🛑 it.

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism. There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision. Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

This message from the US State Department about "not wanting allies to be shackled by guilt and shame" is a pretty direct call-out to the German far-right argument that Germany has spent too long feeling guilty about the Holocaust, and needs to move on and stop doing remembrance.

Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be? I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.

When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress’ worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

GUY WHO SPENDS 2/3 OF THE YEAR IN A EUROPEAN VILLA, DESPITE BEING FROM OHIO: it's actually very important, and I mean very critically important, to maintain an ethnic hegemony in your country.

mostly I am tired of people with 3 passports and 6 multinational conglomerates lecturing me on the virtues of ethnic nationalism

these people didn't simply die . they suffered in pain from treatable ailments, then died as a result of treatment being withheld

it's very strange to me to see guys like this blathering about how america has no common culture. america has so much common culture. we are drowning in american culture. what are they talking about. it's like he saw quesabirria once and thought "this is the end of the republic." psychotic

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Why was Mar-a-Lago a location where women continued to be trafficked from. We have questions for President Trump. And the broader issue here is why wasn't this investigated when these accusations were heard by the FBI years ago?"

Many people in South Africa, where Elon is from, died to create a genuinely multiracial polity. They were killed by people who thought like Elon. The people who thought like Elon also lost. Seems their “common culture” of white supremacy wasn’t enough. bsky.app/profile/alan...

Irish elevated to founding stock, it's like he's allergic to reading a history book

NY officials raise rainbow flag at Stonewall in rebuke of Trump administration 🌈 🏳️‍🌈

This is just unconscionable man

Whoever succeeds Trump is obligated to offer these men and women up to the Ukrainians for service as human MCLCs

Obviously, if Trump is talking, he’s lying. But I find this statement to be perhaps the most implausible one he’s ever uttered. “I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the near future.”

I also am baffled that people are assuming this super checkered barely known guy will be super progressive as though we're not living in a post Fetterman universe.

Part of this is racism and part is cruelty for cruelty's sake, but I guarantee you before this is all over we're going to find out that it's also a giant profit center for some number of Trump donors as well as the Trump family itself.

It's also just a regurgitation of things he knows are considered "great," with either no understanding of those things or a willingness to pretend not to know. The Beatles & Stones were from Britain, but artistically speaking their music DNA is primarily black music, not white European.

One of the (many, many) issues with people who celebrate and defend "white culture" or "Western culture" is that said culture invariably ends up just being a list of things that person happens to like, plus a few Renaissance figures they know by name but have no actual personal interest in.

The costs of anti-vax shit really needs to be a bigger part of the conversation. Ask Kennedy about his plan to expand hospital capacity when his favorite diseases come back? What is the budget for it where will it come from? How are schools to prepare?
