I'm not racist, but let me pull out this homicide chart anytime a Black person says anything I do not like is actually self-refuting.

To rationalize the killing of Jordan Neely this columnist makes reference to two cases where someone *actually* assaulted another person, which no one claims Neely did. BUT WHAT IF….? This is the kind of sleight of hand that makes all white juries acquit.

Just as we feared, the media treating the debt ceiling crisis as a normal negotiation, not a Republican attempt to use default as a bargaining chip for extreme policies. @NBC Ali Vitali quotes McCarthy straight up: “It doesn’t seem to me yet that they want a deal.... 1

I may be overly cynical about our current, carefully manufactured conservative majority on the Supreme Court, but I am not optimistic about the outcome of this development. trib.al/6YV8WdM

Noise complaints and noise ordinances are a dog-whistle for racism and as a public servant I will say it any opportunity I get.

We can't codify Roe unless we unrig the Supreme Court. The Judiciary Act must be a part of every Democrat's reproductive rights platform in 2024 if they want to be taken seriously as reproductive rights champion. #ExpandTheCourt

DeSantis and this trash bill can go fly a kite. AAPI history is nothing without recognizing the intersection of all of our experiences. How dare you try to use us to sanitize your racism. We are not your wedge 😤

If I have to read one more unbearably stupid and intellectually lazy piece about wokeness or cancel culture in our year 2023, when abortion is being denied to pregnant people, turning them into incubators of the state—into objects!—I’m going to pop with rage.

It's been said a thousand times but always worth repeating that 50% of the Senate represents less than 20% of the US population.

The point of bothsidesing the Debt Limit hostage crisis is that moderates and “sensible liberals” in the media actually want programs and the safety net to be cut in order to shore up the status quo that serves them. And that’s the outcome they’re going to pressure into being.

Today I was doing an author talk at a middle school when a lockdown was called. I asked the girl nearest to me what to do. I explained that I'd never done a lockdown before. She looked at me in disbelief and said, "Did you grow up in America?"

A lot of bad things have happened in this country (and continue to happen) but the gutting of the Voting Rights Act has to be somewhere near the top. They’re hellbound on making it 1933 again.

This was last week, but Nancy Abudu's confirmation to the 11th Circuit is a big deal: She is a civil rights lawyer who's worked with the ACLU's Voting Rights Project against felony disenfranchisement, & for the Southern Poverty Law Center. GOP fought it. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/na…

Just like Rufo admitting “CRT” was a political game, here’s Nashville resident Matt Walsh giving the Pride game away… they will not stop, especially with TN legislators/brands caving to them at every turn… But they are on the wrong side of history.

History text books that remove actual U.S. history because it upsets white supremacists are no longer history text books — they’re white supremacy fan fiction. Meet the new author: Conspiracy theorist and founder of a hate group grift. popular.info/p/tennessee-sp…
