"The Trump administration doesn't want to hear from immigrants who are trying to file their bewildering paperwork correctly. Incorrect immigration paperwork is a feature, not a bug, since it can be refined into a pretext to kidnap someone, imprison them in a gulag long enough to line the pockets
they see that they don't.
It can't possibly be that they lack the talent, education, or perseverance to obtain the good life, no, it's that women and BIPOC people have taken that away.
You misunderstand. If being in the societal construct called "white" was enough, all white men would be wealthy, have great jobs, trophy wives, tropical vacation, etc etc.
They don't. **These** men are angry because they've been fed the lie that they are supposed to have all that, but
Those are some buttons we need to be pushing. If you are making a protest sign or a post use AFFORDABILITY, CITIZENS, KING, MASS DEPORTATIONS, EPSTEIN, ICE, HEALTHCARE, LIES, BILLIONARES, WAR. Please add ideas and get this reposted widely. Next big protest is March 28th.
4 and 5 are the disappointments I usually get in restaurants. I want "thick carpacchio".
They do realize that. It's why they hate DEI.
Men like him are outraged because their skin color isn't easing their way through life and putting them at the head of every line they stand in.
Is it possible to train a single White House journalist the term “and what do you mean by that?”
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
Ah. Unfortunately for him, that strategy won't make him a king maker. There are already too many right-wing voters angry at this administration for him to claim that he's The Reason for the reich losing an election.
But yeah, let him bleed off as many of their voters as he can.
Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line.
At 20 weeks pregnant, she died of preeclampsia.

How so? I can't think of a good reason for him to tell his followers to vote Dem. What are your thoughts?

This statement by Rubio is false.
As @tessbridgeman.bsky.social and I wrote in January:

Donald Trump put a Fox News commentator in charge of the Pentagon.
His Vice President was talking about war plans in a Signal chat.
He says he knows better than the generals.
This is who is putting our men and women in uniform in harm’s way.
I googled this and it’s true. How can we have bragged about ourselves for my whole life? We are basically gaslit all through school. The pledge of allegiance. God bless America. The national anthem. I feel like I’ve been bamboozled.
MTG is calling Trump and his administration “sick fucking liars.”
Folks in Maine, have you checked out my latest project yet?

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
Here’s a thought for James Comer.
There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.
It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.
You know, just to see what she knows.
There are people saying that he knew it was a Nazi symbol because he called it "my little totenkopf". None of those people speak German. They seem to believe that everyone watches the same WWII movies and therefore would "just know" that his tat closely matched one used by the Nazis.
But aren't there records of name changes?

This is bigotry, pure and simple.

knickknacks, cigarette lighters, hats, and so on, that show
totenkopts bedecked with flowers, totenkopf Santas, and - of course - totenkopf pirates.
Given the ubiquity of the image, it's not a surprise that a bunch of drunken troops would get what they saw as a "tough guy takes no shit" tattoo.
The German word "totenkopf" doesn't mean "Nazi symbol", as the knee-jerk clique has it. Literally it means "death head", but it translates more correctly to "skull and crossbones".
In Germany, where Nazi iconography is illegal, there are kid's coloring books with totenkopt images. You can buy
