Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

We are 1.5 steps away from Black people being declared native biological citizens of “Blacklandia”, just in case my folks aren’t paying adequate attention…

Actual footage of Vince Guaraldi performing "Linus and Lucy". I'm gobsmacked that this exists, but utterly thrilled too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EMf...

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far. In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

@leftistlawyer.com if you happen to know of an attorney that you could recommend that handles ADA discrimination and compliance, I'd appreciate a DM lol.

If we are required to show a passport in order to vote, doesn’t that make passport fees an illegal poll tax?

About "agitators" -- 1. Homan can't even capitulate without threatening more illegal, military-ish force against people exercising their 1A rights. 2. I doubt it's unintentional that they continue to use a loaded term inextricably linked with segregationists and bigots.

we're on like the third generation of americans raised on these movies and the bad guys dont get it

I’m sure you were wondering:

AI is built on stolen labor and powered by data centers that are and will be placed in Black communities to poison us. It's really clear.

Police lie so often that lawyers have a term for it: Testilying. Keep that in mind when moderate Democrats say that ICE and CBP agents should be held to the same standards as police.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Should you get snatched out of your home on April 21st because you didn’t file your taxes on time? The government is focused on immigrants now but if you set the precedent that people should get kidnapped over paperwork there’s a whole lot of people who can get taken next

BAAAAAAABE BABE BABE BABE WAKE UP THEY’RE RECREATING THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES

This story mentions "Oak Brook Gateway" in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook as one of the buildings in which ICE is supposedly planning office space. Oak Brook Gateway is managed by Fairbridge Partners LLC. I tried to contact them, but the only email listed on their website bounced back as invalid.

Well then play it. Play it again and again until there’s an answer. Make them answer for sending Nazi death troops to wage a war of terror against the U.S. civilian population.

Evergreen tbh

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Oh good, the Austrian guy I follow who got chin implants is posting again. I’m happy he’s alive.

This is fancy Squidward.

So has @espn.com apologized to @jemelehill.bsky.social yet? Just wondering bc Jemele was right back then. She's always been right and white people have been wrong.

Donald Trump is a racist.

i think the thing to really understand here is that ICE is political police. there's a vestigial element that is ancestrally related to something called "immigration enforcement" (which is also bogus) but ICE is political police for policing political enemies

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

sure seems like they thought the press would ignore like most of the deranged stuff trump says

Anyway, I have other things to do today than wonder about how racist white people will defend the racist white person they voted for.

Now that Trump has deleted the post, the defenses will shift from "stop the fake outrage" to "see he deleted it, not a big deal"

Three thoughts. 1. It’s always been about the white nationalism 2. He is returning to the old favorites because his support is waning 3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness

Fuck Donald Trump, fuck his racism, and I really can't wait to throw a party when he dies.

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

So has @espn.com apologized to @jemelehill.bsky.social yet? Just wondering bc Jemele was right back then. She's always been right and white people have been wrong.

“…reviewed by advisers, such as White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino. After all, it takes a village – or, jungle – to create the federal government’s racist propaganda operation.”

“…Truth Social account go through layers of approval. Trump signs off on the content posted, but he often does not find, and certainly does not clip or upload, these clips himself. He is often presented with a menu of options by senior aides for approval, and the footage or images are…

“But Trump’s most recent racist outburst on social media cannot, in fact, be solely pinned on one raving madman. According to sources intimately familiar with the matter, video and photo posts to the president’s…

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 referring to the first Black President and First Lady in the history of the USA as apes is not a distraction. It is a major news story once again emphasizing how fundamental racism is to this administration and the Republican Party and conservative movement. And right now media is ignoring.

The president of the US posing memes of one of his predecessors and his wife being apes feels like a thing the news should be covering but anyway here's another debate about whether DEI is bad

The “economic anxiety” the mainstream media covered up for was racism all along. As we all knew.

I need people to understand that if you’ve dealt with ice, if you’ve had to worry about you or your kids or neighbors disappearing, if you see the govt giving nazis carte blanche to kill you, every “reform”’ from democrats who currently reject abolition sounds insane. and frankly fucking stupid

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires. I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

If white people ever experience actual discrimination for even a moment, the ensuing psychological meltdown will crack the earth down to the mantle.

A thing that is funny about the moral grandstanding by Repubs re: Christopher Columbus is that nobody knew or cared about him 100 years ago. His "holiday" is barely 50 years old and was pushed through by Italian-American lobby groups in response to...anti-immigrant prejudice.

Everybody has it backwards. Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies. They’re creating a world they control completely

Any time a Trump admin official does this it’s our patriotic duty to speculate whether they shit themselves

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

watch us, bitch

Protesting is good and right and proper.
