Andrew Yang just said anti-Asian racism is more acceptable than anti-Blackness, and that the consequences of being anti-Black are more immediate and clear...and in the same thread says "I forgive Shane" in a way that no Black person would forgive someone for saying the n-word

You can’t hunt with an AR-15.
The AR-15 has long moved past the point of an actual gun debate about its purpose or whether the Founding Fathers meant "musket" or "assault" rifle. The AR-15 is a political wedge where one side still has common sense and the other side refuses to lose or be wrong.

The President doesn’t get to make mistakes.
The President should be the best of us. The smartest, the brightest, the most diplomatic, and the one most qualified to run the country. Trump is an idiot and so is anyone else who excuses his endless litany of "mistakes."

“America is not unique in its sins.” — Prof. Eddie Glaude
America does not accept its sins because America is run by people who first, benefit from those sins, but also refuse to accept that anything could possibly be wrong because they were told they were the best at everything.

Jussie Smollett and white certainty of guilt.
I’m not debating what consequences should be assigned to a Black man who has not been proven anything one way or another when I’m trying to express my anger about the lack of consequences assigned to a group of men who MURDER innocent Black people while the politicians who uphold that system are pretending that a staged crime is more serious than a dead body.

Gen X & Baby Boomer media is about making millennials feel shitty about not being exponentially more successful and more educated than they had to be at the same age to maintain the same standard of living. Y'all had my salary with a HS diploma working at Auto Zone. Go away.

It’s over for the Trump Foundation.
The Trump Foundation is being shut down by the (outgoing) Attorney General of New York and I’m doing a small celebration jig in the office.

No one “deserves” to be an American.
It’s so maddening that the only argument Trump supporters have about immigration rests on the unacknowledged premise that they were simply lucky enough to be born in a country where their lives aren’t in danger. You didn’t do anything to *deserve* living in the US either.

Vox: Paul Ryan’s Long Con
Anybody still giving the benefit of the doubt to Republicans needs to go outside and break off a switch. Republicans keep playing this “fiscal responsibility” card, and too many of us keep falling for it to debate its merits as if their positions ever hold fast once they get elected. “Fiscal responsibility” is a catchphrase to bring two groups to the polls: rich people and poor whites.
