They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

From the terrific new book Undue Process by NBC immigration reporter Julia Ainsley: How the Trump administration fired a DHS press person because she refused to call undocumented immigrants "scumbags" in a press release.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

“We need a strong Republican party” is a psychopathic thing to say at this point. And in my opinion at ANY point in recent decades. But now? Straight-up saying hey friends, we still need a lot of fascism, a lot of racism. It’s necessary. C’mon guys. We need a destroyed Republican party. Ashes.

I'm a page and a half in and I'm already fuming. A Republican justice pretending to whine about gerrymandering and quoting Kagan's dissent in Rucho in order to throw out the will of the voters and enshrine Republican gerrymanders elsewhere is so fucking rich.

The fact that the Republican Party always has legislation to make it harder to vote or to disenfranchise Black people ready to go whenever the Supreme Court takes another whack at the Voting Rights Act tells you...a lot.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

There will be an elite media effort to rebrand Rubio as "the grownup in the room" when the GOP 2028 stakes heat up. It will involve a lot of magical thinking, but it will happen.
