The fact cult #MAGA doesn’t understand population density is so much fun.

this may be not as huge a death as Kissinger’s but it’s a very good thing that James Dobson ―the guy who founded Focus On The Family, the most influential #christofascist “education” non-profit in USA― is dead.
if y’all in Colorado, go spit on his grave for me.

"I usually cast President Trump’s anti-immigrant mass deportation agenda as a rule of law story. But it is of course so much more than that. It is fundamentally a story about racism, xenophobia, and othering. It’s about preying on our fears, differences, and prejudices to create a villainous foe whom he can easily vanquish in repeated set-pieces."

Some things to know if you want to apply (you can't just buy — you have to apply!) for membership in this all-white enclave in small-town Arkansas:
1. You MUST be all-white (or you must imagine you're all white).
2. You MUST prove you're all-white by filling out a questionnaire about your ancestry and, if asked, by providing photos of your relatives.
Did I forget to mention the other important point as you try to qualify for membership in Return to the Land? You MUST be Christian — you MUST be a white Christian!
No one else need apply.
P.S. This is EXACTLY what the Nazis did in their reign of terror, demanding that people have proof of their pure Aryan ancestry generations back on hand when asked by the authorities to show that proof.
Debra Kamin reports on the formation of "a community strictly for white, heterosexual people called Return to the Land in northArkansas
It's in the small town of Ravenden, 94% white in a county that's 92%+ white.
All-white communities and communities that deliberately exclude and terrorize non-whites are not new to Arkansas, particularly not new to the almost all-white northern counties of the state.

"It’s against this backdrop that much of this week’s news is taking place: Trump’s minimizing of chattel slavery; the federalization of D.C. police and the deployment of red state national guards to a plurality Black city; the phasing out of support for non-native English speakers in school; new hoops for legal immigrants to jump through; and a gauntlet of other indignities and slights that preference white citizens."

"It’s about letting loose the worst of our impulses to heighten and sustain divisions among us.
The mass deportation agenda is just one part of a larger agenda in which white Americans are fronted as the real America and everyone else is second-class, unless they individually demonstrate in lavish ways a high enough degree of fealty to Donald Trump."

If you're a #Democrat and you pivot right to somehow appeal to #MAGA morons, you:
1. suppress left turnout
2. pick up zero MAGA
3. prove you stand for nothing
4. and lose
However
If you stand for something
If you stop playing idiotic political games advanced by political "strategists" who couldn't figure out the best line to stand in at the grocery store
Your appeal grows
Everywhere
To everyone
"#Mamdani more popular with #NYC #conservatives than Cuomo and Adams"

"Trumpworld will now continue its usual comms strategy, insisting that the raid was a completely normal militarized operation that had nothing to do with Newsom, but also bragging about how the raid really put Newsom in his place."

"Crews tore down a major encampment [of unhoused people] near the Kennedy Center on Thursday, with federal law enforcement removing residents and clearing out the remaining encampments across the city overnight. The removal is part of Trump’s federal takeover of the city’s police department and deployment of the national guard across the city."

"After President Obama won re-election in 2012, 'White South Africans from the party that was the apartheid party in South Africa reached out to American Republicans urgently with a 911 and said to them, if you all don't become, quote unquote, a white interests party' you will be in essence overrun."
