Donald Trump, the demented man that fetishizes military power, was a draft dodger. Democrats need to say that loudly and frequently.

Donald Trump just gave the most unhinged, prevaricating, insulting, delusional speech in the history of the World Economic Forum in Davos and arguably in the history of the world. He will get cover from craven, cowardly Republicans and active support from his grifting retinue of thieves and bandits.

White Democratic politicians: “But this is not who we are”. Black people and other marginalized groups: “It sure the fcuk is who we are. For too many of us, it’s the way it has always been. We’ve been trying to tell you.”

How about; Dear American soybean farmers, please stop voting for Donald Trump because your white grievance outweighs your need to put food on the table. He’s devastated your community the 2 times he’s been in office. Democrats have much better rural policies. You have better allies in the cities. 🌆

🚨The messaging here needs to be viral. I do not care if you download, screenshot, or make it your own—however you like, but the message needs to spread. No QP’s. Make it YOURS. White people have a responsibility and an opportunity to do the right thing. Let’s own it, now, today…

Trumps base driven election strategy: project strength, project popularity and only care about the base, driven by white grievance, (in combination with Democratic fecklessness and shame of their own African American base) won him 2 elections.

When Donald Trump says that one of the results of the Civil Rights movement was that “white people were treated very badly”, where is the reaction from the leadership of the Democratic Party? Is there a centrist/moderate position on the humanity and rights of Black voters?

If white people voted like Black people, (particularly Black women), Americans would have universal health care, fairer taxes, voting rights, affordable housing, access to affordable higher education, women would control their own bodies, universal childcare, immigrant rights, and LGBTQ rights…

@kaine.senate.gov should fuck all the way off, along with @schumer.senate.gov for participating in the orchestrated political theater of the cave-in. The Egregious Eight that were chosen, just happened not to be facing reelection, so as to survive the furious backlash that followed. Fuck them all.

What are we to make of the fact that very few Democratic representatives and senators were not conspicuously involved in the peaceful protests of “No Kings” day?

Mourning Joe: I watch so you don’t have to. The guest on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social was Michael Bublé, who talked about how honored he was to be Shohei Ohtani’s “walk up”music, “Feeling Good”. Did any of the factory setting, culturally incompetent white hosts mention Nina Simone? Of course not. 🙄

OMG 😳 ☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿 Lawd hab mercy!!! Our establishment Democrats are so frightened of naming racism as the fundamental animating force of Trump’s authoritarianism that they are unable to construct a consistently effective strategy.

THIS!!!

💯 Because the white voters in these states prioritize the pain of “others” over valuing their own well being. In fact, they consider punishing “these people” part of their well being. And well meaning but frightened white Democrats will not bring this fact to their attention. So here we are.

I’m going to hang on to this clip and show it to the next white person who states racism in America is not systemic. If they laugh - like the judge and prosecutor laughed - that’s when my patience will be tested for people suffering these indignities without response:💔 youtube.com/shorts/ShNDi...

Racism is expensive. It costs white people money too. It is a price most white people are willing to pay. This (Trumpian) national nightmare will stop when they decide the price is too high.

That’s nuts. And totally unacceptable.

Mourning Joe: I watch so you don’t have to. On @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social after the assassination of right wing racist Charlie Kirk, dim bulb, mouth breather @mika-brzezinski.bsky.social referred to the white nationalist as a “young, vibrant, talented man”. The entire cast of morning muppets …

…retribution on intuitions of higher learning and individuals that disagree with with the president, the trafficking of young girls by the 34 times felon and sexual predator in the Oval Office, will that be enough to stop white women from supporting Trump and his cronies?

If it was a snake 🐍 it would have bit them. Chyron seen on @msnbc.com @nicollewallace.bsky.social : “TRUMP OUT OF STEP WITH VOTERS ON KEY 🔑ISSUES” Except the issue that’s most important to his white voters: RACE. There are loads of data that tells us that RACE is the bases’ most motivating force.

The Dem consultant class is simultaneously convinced that Dems should never talk about racism AND that it's fatal for Dems that they're losing their advantage among black voters. Can someone please explain to the Very Smart Boys how the +80% advantage among black voters happened in the first place?

Former Senator @clairecmc.bsky.social still refuses to see the Trump administration’s cornerstone of its messaging: race. She expressed her belief that the divide between voters concerning Medicaid is rural/city. (Which is a metaphor for white: Black and brown.) Blindness is sometimes a choice. 🙄

To Andrew Cuomo Swim like an octopus 🐙 Drive like a trucker You’re one grade A Stupid …

www.youtube.com/shorts/meg8y... This. Right. Here. 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

Harvard president Alan Garbar attempting to bargain with the Trump administration on issues of anti semitism, liberal university culture, student body diversity, etc., is on a fool’s errand. In bargaining with Trump, you are lacking an honest partner who only seeks submission.

Israel is doing the MOST disgusting despicable shit I have ever seen, and I stand ten does down that a President Harris would NOT have allowed it. Israel is genociding the Palestinian people, as well as every micron of good will the world ever had for it.

@gallego.senate.gov says that some of his friends are MAGA. I’d like to ask him why. Why would you be friends with someone that supports mass deportations of brown and Black people? Why are Democrats the only ones thirsting for “bipartisanship”? Republicans sure aren’t.

In the book “2024” by authors Isaac Arnsdorf, Tyler Pager and Josh Dawsey, Harris campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon manager concedes that the campaign’s position on Gaza was an issue and it also made it more difficult to recruit younger workers and volunteers who opposed the war on Gaza.

The energy behind the overtly punishing “Big Beautiful Bill” is that it hurts “other people”, racism being the cornerstone. Misogyny, homophobia, transphobia and their allies are “othered”. The tax breaks for wealthy donors and corporations are simply sweeteners.

If you are able to vote for Andrew Cuomo as New York City mayor, you were never serious about sexual harassment and the coverup, which is also an indication of a corrupt governing and leadership style. Establishment Democrats getting behind Cuomo is why so many are fed up with the Democratic Party.

Christ on a cracker. Exhaustingly and perhaps inevitably, the @newyorktimeshaiku.bsky.social has published yet another examination of the inscrutable nature of the economically marginalized white Trump voter. This time the “diner” is the 51st district in eastern Kentucky. The author is sociologist…

Jesus Christ on a hoverboard: Maya Wiley on @theweekendprime.bsky.social actually saying that “you never want to have a protest that turns public will against you”. Maya, there are no protests that are conflict free. Walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge could have be a problem, huh? JFC🙄, Maya.

@karaswisher.bsky.social was the muse of reptilian characters like Noel Musk and Peter Thiel for years. Now that this milk has curdled, she wants no parts of it and pretends this was her stance all along. I’m hoping that this smug public relations stenographer gets properly held to account.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

…wasn’t the only factor in the humiliation of Shaduer Sanders, but certainly was a part. Aaron Rodgers anyone? 🙏🏿✊🏿

…appeal to people he actively hurts. “People say why do the (white) working class vote for Trump, but why do wealthy billionaires vote for Trump? I don’t know”. Sooo close to recognizing that economic reasons have little to do with much of Trump’s support. IT’S. THE. RACISM. STUPID.

Resistance to the racism and fascism of Trump’s administration will require courage from people unaccustomed to needing to be courageous. Kudos to Lisa Murkowski, but we’re gonna need more outspokenness and less career preserving charm. (Like ordinary people fighting Jim Crow. Remember?)

Dimon has wrongly predicted a coming recession at least 3 times to fawning business press stenographers who’ve been willing to transcribe his bloviation. Where is the voice of steroid egg headed billionaire Jeff Bezos, who so openly criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the economy?

d.newsweek.com/en/full/2616... Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is a White Christian Nationalist. He’s an Islamophobic, racist, misogynist. The establishment media refuse to describe him with any of these labels. What does he have to do, tattoo them on his….oh wait…

“I insist on being shocked. I am never going to become immune. I think that’s a kind of failure to see so much of it that you die inside. I want to be surprised and shocked every time.” ― Toni Morrison

Agreed. Unfortunately, it’s the one thing Democrats are afraid to call out.

Just accidentally texted Steve Harvey the plans for my invasion of France. I'd appreciate privacy during this difficult time and whatnot.

This moment in our country's history is depressing, but it's also illuminating. We're finding out, in real time, whom among those in power will hedge their bets, trade complicity for personal preservation, and retreat into cowardice in the hopes they'll be spared. And we will remember their names.

Trump: Nice law firm you have here. Be a shame for anything to happen to it. Paul, Weiss, Rifkand, Wharton and Garrison (Managing Partner Brad Karp) “We’ll pay you 40 million dollars and transform our culture to your specifications”.

If @chuckschumer.com had led the 1954 Montgomery bus boycott: “I’ve come to the inescapable decision that it is better to ride in the back of the bus than to walk. After all, second class citizenship is better than no citizenship, amirite”? White people should study the Civil Rights Movement.

JFC, how is it possible that EVERY SINGLE DAY this motherfucker becomes even more reprehensible? If it wasn't so horrifying and destructive it would be impressive.

It is Twilight Zone surreal that DUI hire, alcoholic wife abuser, unimaginably unqualified, Christian white nationalist Pete Hegseth can say that a Black, highly decorated 4 star general, pilot and leader, may have gotten his job because of his race. Irony is dead.

C.Q. Brown was fired because he was Black. That he was replaced with a manifestly lesser qualified individual tells you all you need to know about this administration. The muted response concerning the blatant racism, tells you all you need to know about the state of our current establishment media.
