Miller echoes how America felt about his own great grandparents in the 1920's. Gotta preserve that "Racial Type"...

Summing up a night in which millions of jubilant fans celebrated in the streets and avenues, pizza places and bodegas and pubs... this is the only pinhole view Fox used to portray NYC

Sad and ironic: like many racists in the administration, Bovino's grandparents weren't considered sufficiently white during America's xenophobic paroxysm in the 1920s.

So deeply perverse that Miller expresses exactly the racism that some Americans expressed towards his great grandparents in 1924.

A reminder that Miller's great grandfather arrived from Belarus, the third world America tried to shut out with its 1924 racist anti-immigrant legislation. See subhead on NYT article ...

So Bovino's Grandpa arrived just before 1924, the last time America cracked down on immigration to ensure racial purity ... by excluding Italians, among others.

Bovino, the guy who wouldn't have made it into the US the last time we did this racist dance

Important to note that Trump's grandfather wouldn't be allowed into Trump's America. And none of his crew -- Miller, Bondi, Bondino, Bovino, Patel -- would have been welcome after the 1924 racial purity immigration legislation they're all cosplaying.

It's no coincidence that almost everyone driving the Administration's racist campaign -- Trump, Miller, Pirro, Bondi, Bovino, Patel -- would have been excluded by US racial purity legislation of 1924. They're all race washing. timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine...

Congrats, @officialgrammarly.bsky.social your tool is cool. I'd love to see a) how I compare with friends and b) which unordinary words do I use most frequently?
