I think he meant to say "There will be no more whites if this continues."

Nailed it.
What happens when he can't create content for the base anymore?
I think it's also important to remember that we dehumanize ourselves when we dehumanize others.
Protestant Rachel here, though it wasn't a random pick. My mom liked it and it is biblical. Had my brother been a girl he would have been Sarah.
Lotta "manifesting" energy here.
Is there anything more ephemeral than Internet clout?
American Girl, hands down.
Barbell piercing.
Yep. Because they could have stopped anything related to cutting funds. But they gave him all their power.
I keep saying this is the content creation administration.
LLM truthers keep trying different ways of saying "But how do we KNOW that using statistical regression to create a string of tokens that resemble an answer to a prompt is not the same thing as actual thought, though?" And the answer is always: because it isn't.
All of our information is in the cloud now? GREAT. WHY?
And makes it Canadian whiskey no longer.
"MYOB" is the response? Dying.
Perhaps he could start in his own hometown, which has a higher crime rate than the whole state. www.neighborhoodscout.com/la/benton/cr...
But it doesn't work like that. If prayer isn't moving you to act, you're doing it wrong.
As a person who has lost a child--to congenital heart defects, not gun violence--I can assure you that this "better place" BS did not bring me a fraction of a modicum of peace. And I'm a Christian and a pastor!
The live action version of Butthead.
I can't stand anti-heroes. I grew up with a dad who said, "Why would I want to watch anything where a mobster is a hero? They're terrible people. Why would I root for them?"
The delusion of being able to beat the algorithm. LOL.
OMG. Make it stop. He's talking about sending troops all over. Most of us are a little more worried about that.
While I am no proponent of firearms, this is the instruction to ANYONE carrying a firearm, even civilians. Firing warning shots or shooting at anything other than center mass (an arm or leg) is a good way to harm bystanders. It emphasizes the gravity of the decision to draw your weapon.
Nope. It's hot garbage.
I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

HOLLERING.
How Trumpism is like Stalinism. A thread. 🧵🧵🧵 Many people make valid comparisons of Trumpism to Nazism. But I think MAGA authoritarianism bears more similarities to Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union – ruthless, paranoid, dishonest and determined to climb into every aspect of the lives of his people.
And the cop was the one that fired a shot.
hold on, are you saying the most easily manipulated man on the planet got played by the kgb agent? no…no that cant be right
Donald Trump is organizing a fascist, military occupation of the nation’s capital to cover up evidence that he sexually abused children. It’s absolutely despicable—and completely insane that any adult with a shred of decency is going along with any of it.

That he was a DOJ employee makes this all the sweeter for me.
I must continue to insist that this is not a strong regime. It does not have the kind of pan-societal support needed to enforce Gleichshaltung. It has significant elite buy-in and a small popular coalition, but it is brittle and feeble and will collapse if pressed hard enough.
Lawless, just as Leah Litman says.
"If we stop testing, we'll have fewer cases."
💯
He is the best.
"It's hard, so why bother." This is the bullshit POV that keeps us from making any real reforms, ever. Her desire for lifetime appointment overrides what's best for the country. Dem appointees may not be lawless, but they are proving to be gutless.
Not just crazy and/or corrupt, they're stupid. Anyone who takes Trump at his word is a bonafide fool.
I'm no fan of law enforcement, but this man was doing his job admirably. Shame on Kash Patel.
It's literally why RFK was nominated. Cassidy had the power to stop it, but he is a coward.
They choose wealth and influence over freedom, theirs included. Maybe they just have a taste for boots.
Old enough to remember this...
I legit think the moral damage Trump winning twice did to society by normalizing misogyny will take generations to repair.
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.
For all those rightwingers crying about how “DeMoCrAtS GerRyMaNdEr ToO,” just ask them if they support a nationwide ban on gerrymandering. We do. They don’t. They’re not mad at the concept of gerrymandering, they’re mad that they don’t get to be the only party wielding it anymore.
Before another person writes another blasted article about why people are fed up with Dems, it's because there hasn't been more of this, especially in response to Trump's fascist overreach. Wanna win? Show us you'll fight for us and our rights, not just for your seat!
As a 51 year old who was spanked a few times as a child, I will tell you it wasn't.
The definition of hitting is to bring one's hand or a tool into contact with someone or something quickly and forcefully. If that doesn't describe spanking I don't know what does. Did you really come on this app to have people tell you it was ok?
people might say if you jail one president for crimes youll end up jailing all presidents for crimes to which i would say rad
I love how he gets to the end and again says that the problem is the bad advisors a few moments after saying that the president is responsible for picking his advisors.
This is why they want to roll everything back. Women with power interfere with their ability to abuse and rape with impunity.
Impulsive. Ignorant. Dangerous.
I guess what I'm saying is, are people really scrolling through Substack's equivalent of a News Feed to find new things to read? Every Substack I've ever read has been from an author whose books I've read or I've discovered them elsewhere. Note: I no longer subscribe because Nazis.
I don't get a lot of engagement on here, and that's ok. I do have a question, though, and I'm hoping someone answers it. Do you actually use the Explore function? When I still subscribed, I just read the ones I subscribed to. I never once scrolled through Explore.
All I can see in this photo is the facial droop on the right side.
With these folks it's as simple as communist=person I think is bad.
Does she actually want to work that hard?
This is right on. For people like Allen & VandeHei, being "opinionated" just means expressing progressive opinions, the idea that things should change. Opinions that reinforce status quo hierarchies -- ie, conservative opinions -- don't count as opinion at all. They're just "the way it is."
This is the greatest thing.
Disappointed that neither @slotkin.senate.gov nor @peters.senate.gov joined in.
Pathetic loser.
trump is really solid proof that you can be an absolutely, unbelievably horseshit campaigner and it matters almost not at all. but instead of taking that pretty obvious lesson, people have convinced themselves he's some sort of political genius.
Rev. Mitri Raheb says that Israel could have taught South Africa a thing or two about apartheid.
And that 40 minute video is for something that takes 5 minutes to explain or demonstrate.
I’d go one further and say the gradual moral collapse of our society and our politics is a direct product of the growing social norm where you cannot impute bad faith or immoral motive on people and institutions who clearly exhibit both.

Of course it is. Otherwise there wouldn't have been a whole team of people tasked with reviewing them for mentions of his name.
It never occurs to them to stop doing things that harm people. The only reason people are making threats is because of his choices. It's not because of who he is or what he believes. He could end all the threats tomorrow, but they refuse to understand how completely unpopular their agenda is.
This is totally the correct take.
If going centrist assured victory, they'd be running everything. Who is telling them this is the way?
People thought this was a conspiracy theory
She doesn't know.
For those who care ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBbk...
Because they all come down with him.
It's a pathetic attempt to distract. Red meat for the base.
A must read!
Yep. Those who care about the truth won't deny it to defend "their guy."
Endlessly mystifying.
ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
I don’t think it’s really tenable to have a situation where the president can sue someone as a supposedly private citizen but can’t be sued while in office.
Oh, NOW it's an independent department. 🙄🙄🙄
I see mad people.
I wonder why Willison didn't follow up and ask Grok why it used Elon Musk's opinion instead of someone else, rather than making a "best guess" about a "chain of inferences"?

Totally agree!
Diet Pepsi is better than Diet Coke; Coke is better than Pepsi.
Most of the tech guys were always like this.
Since I'm on my flood rants again, I really want people to see this rather than it just being a comment under a different post. Anyone in a low lying area or near a body of water needs to know this.
