Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism And the Silence is Deafening
On Thursday morning Elon Musk retweeted (with a ‘100%’ endorsement) a post declaring that: If white men become a minority, we will be slaughtered. Remember, if non-Whites openly hate White men while...

Of the Dems' failures of the past decade -- and yes, there have been many -- nominating this loser has to be high up on the list.

Cannonball Aileen Cannon knows the deal, and I don't mean Kim or Kelley: Sprinkle pixie dust on Trump to hide his crimes, and be given the divine hammer known as a Supreme Court gavel. She's got all nerve right now, but is this the last splash for MAGA? A gigantic question. by Maureen Dowd

This is how Trump wins and why you should never count him out. People view him and ICW as corrupt and evil, to which he says, "The Dems and the regular police are corrupt and evil, too!" The Dems will say, "But he's worse." The lesser of two evils is less evil, but not much of a motivator

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Little India is amazing. And huge. I spent a day in JC due to a delayed flight to Dublin, and enjoyed walking around. Historic architecture, bustling immigrant retail business activity. But Dublin is better :)
