There will be zero introspection. Liberal narcissism dictates that it must always be someone else's fault. They will scapegoat minorities who failed to fall in line, blame Russia, blame misogyny, blame "irrational" voters who choose candidates based on "emotion" – anything to avoid looking at their own record of failure. They are congenitally incapable of self-criticism.
I’m going back to my hotel in New York.
With a Muslim Pakistani American cab driver… who voted for Donald Trump because “the prices were too high” under Biden
Here come all the idiotic “ok let’s go! What’s the next step? What’s our plan to resist and take our country back?!”
Dude. This is your country. This IS who Americans are. The deranged optimism isn’t helping.
@terrelljstarr Stop. Seriously. The immediate jump to planning something is both naive and crass. Let people grieve. Let people be angry. This country sucks.
Among the many reasons that this segment will likely live in infamy as a clear example of open Islamophobic racism and journalistic malpractice from @CBSNews:
The producers flanked two Black journalists to provide a cover to a white journalist who is making an open, racist case for apartheid, and who suggests that human rights do not exist for Palestinians. A combination of racism and ignorance that suggests a deeply failed moral center for that show and that news operation.
Remarkable how this segment opens with Ta-Nehisi Coates describing how narrative helps shape “who we believe is human, who we don’t believe is human,” and then the entire rest of the segment just proves his point in real-time
Ta-Nehisi Coates is our truest successor to James Baldwin. Watch him deal with getting race-baited by a white moderate. Reminds of the Baldwin's many appearances on white moderate TV
The NYPD spent $150 Million *extra* last year to catch people who weren't able to afford to pay the subway fare. They owed just $104,000.
$150 million could buy free fares (at going rate) for 95,000 poor New Yorkers per year.
Instead four people shot, including an officer.
more than 11% of new york city public school students are homeless but thank god the nypd got 11 billion dollars in 2024 so they could shoot four people over $2.90
this is your periodic reminder that the NYPD has an office in Tel Aviv. the Atlanta PD (where the first cop city is being erected) has an officer exchange program with the IDF. the imperial boomerang is real, and it’s here.
