I'm torn between laughing at how stupid the current caller is on #LBC, and tearing my hair out at his insistence that "he isn't racist in the slightest" as a Reform UK supporter, despite admitting that when he hears the N-word flung around in the pub he "brushes it off and carries on". @lbc.co.uk

Slavery was and is a real thing that has brutalized hundreds of millions of people over the course of human history, if someone tells me a fucking chatbot is enslaved I'm immediately throwing hands. It's not cute, it's not intriguing, it's an insult to real people who suffered and suffer now.

I have always hated the bad apples analogy re: unrepentant racists and the institutions that instinctively protect them, enable them, and sanitize their hatred. Forcing Reform UK to publish vetting files isn't enough. The entire party is a vehicle for white supremacy. Hiding it doesn't change it.

The bare minimum is impeachment of Trump and the judges rubber-stamping it. Like, do Americans realize how hot the boiling water around them is? If Trump strips Ilhan Omar, a congresswoman, of citizenship *and* deports her, that's fascist rot that voting and fundraising won't fix in the short-term.

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

It's also an obvious trial run to sending ICE and/or national guardsmen to polling stations to "investigate irregularities", "arrest non-citizens lining up to vote", or whatever else Trump can conjure up to damage voter turnout. It's fascism in plain sight.

Resignation isn't enough. They need to be expelled from the councils altogether. Unrepentant racist white supremacists can't be trusted in positions of power and influence.

If UK and social media wasn't so slanted in favor of the Tories, right-wing provocateurs, and fascist racists, Ed Davey and the Lib Dems would get far more coverage. Also, good on ITV for going undercover to catch these racist Reform scumbags. They all need to be hounded out of public life.

Nearly 24 hours after Lisandro Martinez made these comments, I still can't find fault with them. Blaming the manager for longstanding systemic issues in the front-office shouldn't fool anyone. He's absolutely right to call out the executives in the Manchester United boardroom. #MUFC

A big part of how this works is a bunch of soft racists acting as if Black people being subject to racism is some extraordinary thing that rarely happens rather than a routine part of life. So they can act as if these are all individual cases totally unconnected to the last Black person they accused

The Atlantic is part of the elite media trend of redirecting the anti-AI backlash toward Black, Caribbean, and African targets. I will also note here that much of the human intelligence that is training the AI models is Black laborers working in digital sweatshops in Africa and Latin America.

Good on Ossoff for this. The easy answer for Mike Collins to give here is "Yes", but he chooses to lie down, face first, on a bed of nails instead. Someone this unwilling to condemn white nationalism, white supremacy, and neo-Nazi propaganda is probably fine with all of the above.

Jesus fucking Christ. Mike Collins really came with, "Won't someone consider how white nationalists feel inside?" to explain away scum like his own son that openly embrace hate. It sounds awfully familiar to the, "We're all a little bit racist" crap that the worst people imaginable often trot out.

I mean, yeah. This is rancid. If there was a BINGO card of racist anti-Black stereotypes, this ESPN piece referenced all of them. Brian Flores isn't a head coach in the NFL because he's a Black man that sued the league for its racist hiring practices. He wasn't willing to smile and nod about it.

I left X almost exactly two years ago because of the violent, celebrated rape culture that was dominating the platform. Two years later, I’m undeniably better off, and the culture around sexual violence at large is arguably worse. I believe X has played a serious role in that.

IMHO, the key mistake by journalists, pundits, and politicians was thinking Trump would eventually go away of his own accord, and his support would dwindle into a fringe movement. There has *always* been an appetite in the USA for exactly the type of rancid racist hatred that Trump has normalized.
