The World has only one race, the human race which is sadly broken. Trumpers & Right Wing Nut Jobs are poison & will be blocked. Democracy won on 11/3/20
Forever grateful to officers like Harry Dunn. He put his body between lawmakers and an armed mob. You know who else Officer Dunn protected…Tucker Carlson’s son, a House staffer. RT if you stand with Harry and against white supremacy.
Hey MAGA crowd: Donald Trump was treated with monoclonal antibodies in October and received the COVID vaccine in January - the very minute he was eligible. If he didn’t wait, why would you?
Autocratic types like Trump want chaos and crisis because they can offer simple and dramatic solutions that democratic institutions cannot. That the solutions are false, or worse than the problem, is irrelevant if the promise gets them to power.
If Trump cared about his supporters, he would’ve used today’s statement to encourage them to get the vaccine that his administration worked so hard to develop in record time.
Instead, he supported his fans’ vaccine refusal by attaching it to “trust” in the Biden administration.
When you see a poll showing a huge number of Republicans believing some insane thing, remember that the politicians and media figures they trust are CONSTANTLY lying to them, because they think they're a bunch of gullible rubes who must be kept at a fever pitch of outrage
So if I have it right, the argument goes like this:
— murders are surging because an entire profession would rather let people die than hold their colleagues accountable when they needlessly hurt and kill people
— we should hire thousands more for that profession
“Cops across the country are quitting or allowing murders to happen because they think Chauvin was unfairly punished for doing the morally right thing” is an odd defense of policing. It’s an even odder argument that we should vastly expand it.
US corporate media has run out of images from the single day of anti-government protests and is relying again on images from the much larger revolutionary ones.
Also, Ted Cruz is lying again. His father, Rafael, left Cuba 2 years before its revolution.
The real takeaway from Milley's fear of a Trump coup is that we should not rely on the virtue of individual actors next time. Instead, we need reforms to certification and the Electoral Count Act -- and suspension of the filibuster to pass them. My latest:

She’s a physician assistant who rents out a unit in her Queens home. The tenants haven’t paid in 15 months — and yell, spit and curse at her. She now has a second job just to cover their unpaid rent.
Her hellish story of being unable to evict them. https://t.co/GB4eOlaneU
“Honig… indicts Barr for treating his role as that of a personal enforcer for the president rather than the leader of an independent DOJ. The book crosshatches anecdotes from Honig’s career with chapters on Barr’s various abuses. And the abuses are many.” https://t.co/XMPSEuqD9q
As Trump issues statements denying specifics on the Bender book (which Bender has made clear he stands by), Trump has notably not addressed the Hitler anecdote.
