“Trump has convinced millions that their worst self is their truth…there is no greater happiness than seeing those you hate suffer, and that there is not only no shame but even a kind of nobility in being like Trump: rude, cruel, petty, greedy and small." paulwaldman.substack.com/p/the-united...

Can anyone point out a white man who was turned down as a firefighter in the LA area because the department had to hire someone of color or a woman? Because, see, I'm gonna guess that not a goddamn one exists. And, hey, tough guys, if you're so worried about DEI, get out there and fight the fires.

Our relationship with our neighbors and close allies matter. Trump seems intent on screwing them up before he even takes office. Here's the literal illustration of why we can't let that happen--when your house is on fire, sometimes you need your neighbor's help to put it out.

MAGA is now blaming the LA fires on DEI, homelessness, ‘anti-whiteness’ and weather modification. They don't miss a beat on spreading their hate every chance they can get.

I used to think that when global warming truly began to bite, deniers would face reality & we could act. Now I think it's more likely it will lead to a kind of fascism that will respond to global warming by, like, executing everyone who says global warming is real.

So sick of Biden and his administration acting like Trump taking office isn't the absolute nightmare they told us it would be. Stop acting decent to monsters. Stop telling everyone we'll be okay but the fight goes on. It's a five-alarm fucktastrophe and all we get are platitudes and smiles.

What a revealing remark. #Meta making clear it never wanted policies against hate speech. It just felt forced to implement them. Mask’s off.
Meta will refocus its content moderation efforts on "illegal and high-severity violations," its new global policy chief, Joel Kaplan, said in a blog post.

"It's not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms," Mr. Kaplan added.

Why did Trump beat Harris? Anti-incumbency bias: People voted against the incumbent party in every part of American and every country in the world this year--for the first time in 70+ years! This global trend was a tsunami that swamped ideology, gender, race, age, etc.
