@NicolasEdny after apartheid ended, the white SA population fell by 40% due to emigration

but that figure was overwhelmingly Gentile Anglophone & Ashkenazi Jewish; to a person, most Afrikaners stayed behind

that line about them needing someone to look down on describes them precisely

@NicolasEdny Bingo

[Trust Black women *We tried to tell you* @NicolasEdny]

They need their racism.
They need to feel "superior" to someone with a shade of brown to exist.
Their whole being is hating on Black/Brown people.
Without racism, they can't function.

[Trust Black women *We tried to tell you* @NicolasEdny]

If they are surrounded by only white people, then who are they going to look down upon?

Any win Democrats get while being in the minority should be celebrated like this. War Powers resolution passes the House 215-208. Only 4 Republicans broke rank and voted with Democrats to get it over the line. #FundHealthCareNotWar

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

BREAKING: Veteran journalist Jim Acosta is vindicated in the worst way possible as Trump’s latest outburst proves he IS a danger to democracy and a free press!

Back in Trump’s first term, the former CNN anchor was among the first journalists to sound the alarm that Trump’s antipathy towards journalists presented a serious threat to democracy, a free press, and basic truth.

Naturally, the MAGA world lost its collective mind, accusing Acosta of grandstanding, making it all about himself, and being a rude, overdramatic showboat.

But Trump just spent years proving Acosta right on a daily basis, and it's gotten demonstrably worse during his second term, culminating in yesterday’s angry, sexist attack on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins before she’d even asked her a question.

Acosta posted the receipts last night, resurfacing the infamous 2018 press conference clip where Trump personally berated him and insulted him personally on live television:

“CNN should be ashamed of itself, having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN… You are the enemy of the people.”

Acosta’s question that day was about the Russia investigation, one that Trump clearly didn’t want to entertain. He told him to sit down, and launched into his first major “enemy of the people” rant against the press.

“When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating,” Acosta wrote today. “How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!”

Like a modern day Cassandra, he was right then, and he’s even more right now, and he should be heard.
Trump never stopped attacking the free press, and has only intensified his derision for journalism, and disrespect for the truth, and accountability.

The pattern of screaming “fake news” whenever he hears something he doesn’t like and launching ad hominem attacks on reporters as professionals and human beings has been part of the playbook since day one, and will continue to be so if we let it.

History has proven Jim Acosta correct. If the United States no longer has a free press, it’s not the same country. That must not happen.

When the Supreme Court repeatedly attacks voting rights and bends over backwards to a wannabe king, we should call it what it is.

This Court is racist, corrupt….and the American people deserve better.
