The best moment in the History of the Word Caucasian came in a series of Supreme Court cases during the immigration panic of the 1920s. The Naturalization Act of 1790 said that only "white" people could be naturalized as American citizens, but that only raised questions about what counted as white?

He shouldnât just be pushed out as the House Democratsâ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.

Schumer said the Dems will "keep fighting". Keep fighting their own voters? Keep fighting off effectiveness? Keep fighting being held accountable for anything? As far as I can tell the Democratic leadership is good at one thing only now, which is sending fundraising messages to my phone.

This is why this surrender isn't just about this narrow issue but is rather the whole constitutional ballgame: Democrats are affirmatively signaling they do not want political power at the same time Trump is transitioning the political system into an autocratic one wherein they're denied it forever

Frankly if a multibillion dollar news company can't think of a next day story about a 7-million-person protest that ended with the president of the United States posting a video of himself shitting on America, everyone there should find a new line of work.

When Mike Johnson or another national leader repeatedly claims they havenât seen relevant things in the news, an appropriate reporter reaction would be âHoly cow, how do you not know?!? How can you do your job without knowing whatâs happening? What are you doing to fix your ânot knowingâ problem?â

But did we avoid dismantling core functions of the federal government? No. But did we avoid killing millions of people by destroying USAID? Also no. But did we at least avoid violating all kinds of federal laws & the constitution by letting random guys off the streets do this? Alas, also no.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

If you're going to moralize about budget demands, then your demands must include (1) restore USAID (2) fire RFK Jr (3) close the concentration camps. If not, then we're all in the realm of pragmatic politics, and "prioritizing Republican voters" is the path to everything getting worse for everyone.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

I got around to reading this closely and it's an easy education in how David Shor rigs things. The tested messaging on deploying the National Guard is actually shit - so they lead you to conclude that the *focus* is shit, instead of the fact that the test message is (deliberately) shit

Curious how the Netanyahu government is extremely proficient at killing journalists, destroying hospitals, and blocking aid, and yet by their own account incapable of materially reducing the threat from Hamas and thus forced into perpetual escalation of tactics.
