"In a variety of ways, the Trump administration and the movement the president leads have become explicitly white supremacist, as much as is possible without saying the word 'white.' They may still be workshopping the language they use, but the message is clear:"

"America, in their view, ought to be a country of, by, and for white people. In the service of that goal, they are essentially trying to turn back the clock — both legally and culturally — to before the civil rights movement."
Waldman shares some social media postings from Department of Homeland Security and Department of Labor (below).

"It’s that these pictures, released by the Department of Labor social-media accounts and bearing the department’s seal, are uncomfortably reminiscent of posters from the 1930s. To be more specific: the ‘Heroic Realism’ of Nazi propaganda posters and the similarly stylized patriotic posters later produced in the United States.
Why is this style being used now, and what are these images for?"

"Only a few of the images explicitly say. But their purpose is explained in the accompanying captions: They’re promoting the department’s work on Project Firewall, meant to restore 'pathways to the American Dream by ensuring American Jobs go to American Workers.'"

"The very AI tools that are adding to today’s employment problems are being used by the Trump administration to chip away at reality, one white-supremacy meme and one fascistic propaganda video at a time."

"A social-media ad campaign from the Department of Labor is going viral for featuring a dozen or more images of young, blond, white men with strong jawlines and cleft chins, in blue-collared workmen’s shirts and jeans—such great jeans. ...
It’s not the use of AI that’s giving everyone pause, of course."

"While women are being forced out of the workforce, children are going hungry, and people are being rounded up by ICE in warrantless raids, white male pain continues to be a Page 1 story. Farmers and ranchers make up less than 2 percent of the total population in America, but they dominate our cultural and political mythology."

"What he omitted [in his commentary on Trump and the Epstein case], or hasn’t pieced together, is that the biggest, most revelatory twist in the Epstein saga is ongoing: Republicans have effectively dissolved the U.S. House of Representatives."
In other words, it's long since time that the media — New York Times leading the way — speak truth about what's going on right now.

Tressie McMillan Cottom comments on the Nazi tattoo of "working class" Democratic candidate in Maine, Graham Platner, to look at how the media and centrists want to define "working class":
"'Working class' has become a powerful political totem of its own — a discursive sleight of hand used to separate out white voters’ concerns as more legitimate, more materially grounded, more important than other voters’ concerns."
Noting Steve Bannon's recent high-profile media interview in The Economist, Denny Carter underscores the choice of media outlets to high-profile white men like Bannon as they pontificate about Trump and political matters:
"For some reason, Bannon, a podcaster, lands interviews in which he lays out a grand plan for the future of the US and the world at large – plans he's devised from his bunker while scrolling online."
"In his latest interview about somehow dictating America's future from behind a microphone, Bannon was dead certain that Trump would be president come 2029, using typically verbose language to describe the addled god-king as a 'vehicle of divine providence' and an 'instrument of divine will.'"

"This week, the New York Times ran an image of a farmer on the front page. ...
The story is about how Trump’s tariff policies are affecting the very farmers in Iowa who voted for him. ...
In 2017, I asked a farmer how he felt about voting for Trump, even though Republican policies were hurting his business."

#SCOTUS is hearing arguments Wednesday over a core provision of the #VotingRightsAct that is designed to protect racial minorities.
Lawyers for #Louisiana & the #Trump admin [the first admin ever to challenge the law] will try to persuade the justices to wipe away the state’s 2nd majority Black congressional district & make it much harder, if not impossible, to take account of #race in #redistricting.

“It is a separate question as to how we go about remedying that, & the extent to which we need to use #race as a remedy,” Justice #Jackson added. “That’s the question we’re here on today.”
Up next is attorney Edward Greim for Phillip Callais & other #white #Louisiana voters.

#Kavanaugh *again* comes back to the question of whether the country might come to a point where it no longer needs to take #race into account when drawing voting districts.
Aguiñaga, the Louisiana solicitor general, essentially argues that we’re there already [oh really?]:
“I think the warning bells have been sounding for decades, & I think that’s a long enough notice for anybody involved.”

#Kavanaugh, one of the key justices to watch in this case, questions whether there might be a point where the country no longer needs to take #race into account in drawing voting districts.
“The issue, as you know, is that this court’s cases, in a variety of contexts, has said that race-based remedies are permissible for a period of time … but that they should not be indefinite & should have an end point,” he said.

Arguments underway in #SCOTUS #VotingRightsAct case
#JohnRoberts first called on Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to present her argument. Nelson is representing Press Robinson & other #Black #Louisiana voters.
Nelson argues her opponents “seek stagging reversal of precedent that would throw maps across the country into chaos.”

#ClarenceThomas has been questioning section 2 almost since he joined the court in 1991
The questioning begins with Thomas. His long-held view that drawing districts with #race in mind violates the #Constitution. Until now, that view has never commanded a majority of the court.
