I have a particular contempt for Ana Kasparian, and
for other white commentators who come out of
progressive leftist politics who have suddenly made
MAGA reconciliation their new political project
because they want to "unite the country."
We're supposed to give all the vile racist degenerates
who voted for Trump grace and understanding
because somehow they're just now waking up to the
man's cruelty and scams because now THEY are
feeling the pain in their own lives? Trump voters got
THREE elections to decide whether racism, cruelty,
sexual deviancy, and authoritarianism were
dealbreakers. And they answered loudly and proudly.
Not once. Not twice. But THREE TIMES!
There is always tremendous white political urgency
around forgiving other white people at the expense
of other marginalized folks' lives. The Confederate
grandfather. The segregationist grandmother. We've
seen this before. And today, the Trump voter is
somebody's father, mother, sister, neighbor,
coworker, childhood friend. And eventually these
progressives start asking all the marginalized groups
who were harmed to make room for their need to
believe these people are still fundamentally good.
They expect us to swallow our rage for the sake of
“unity”

Seeing replies here and elsewhere saying the sea turtles in California are a bad sign, and it is and it isn’t. Yes, it’s a sign that climate change is affecting species and ecosystems (bad). But it’s also a sign that species are shifting their ranges to track areas of climatic suitability (good).

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
doctor in Norway. Your academic abilities
matter, not who your parents are.
Follow for more from a social democracy,
where dignity is not a privilege.

We live in a country that has internment
camps. As of July 2026, there are 65,756 x
human beings in detention camps. There
are 6,200 children who have been detained
since Trump took office. Trump's promise
was to go after the worst of the worst, yet
only 3% of those detained have a violent
felony conviction.
These are not criminals in internment camps.
These are human beings, many of whom
were going through what they thought was
the legal process to become citizens.
