We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

This is my question: What, exactly, was SO bad about the Before, that makes this preferable to it? Was it literally just the fact that a Black man was elected president?? I mean, for literally ANYONE except the .01% making billions, how was this the better option???

NEW! Special guest host Bryan Austin and I welcome Dr. Greg Jackson to examine 250 years of American partisanship, political violence, and yellow journalism. While these forces still shape the modern world, history proves they are not insurmountable—if we overcame them before, we can do it again.

I write about people who became famous for saying and doing horrible things so I routinely get asked this question. "Did they really believe it?" Look, I get the curiosity, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what's in their hearts. They put evil into the world.
