They sat fake electors as delegates and printed mass deportations now signs. Any coverage that misses those elements is willful obfuscation.

If you think the party the took the time to print out all these posters isn't serious about mass deportations you're either intentionally naive or support it and just afraid to say it out loud

A political moment I think about a lot is when the Beltway media collectively agreed to flip out because a single user-generated video entry in a MoveOn contest briefly compared GWBush to Hitler. Last night, the RNC was festooned with professionally made "Mass Deportations Now" signs and...crickets

The whole idea that calling someone a threat to democracy is “violent rhetoric” is so dumb. If you care about democracy, then you want political questions settled by voting, not violence. It’s right there!

Up there with Jim Sidanius, Bob Altemeyer has been a huge influence in my thinking & work. Hard to imagine the study of prejudice & authoritarianism without his input. So it was an honour to write an obituary for him at American Psychologist. psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d... #PrejudiceResearch

Trump continues to benefit from the very strange norm among journalists that "if it's said in public, it's not a scandal." How much more space has the "Biden is old" story been given than Trump's promise to jail his political opponents? www.nytimes.com/2024/07/01/u...

As the daughter of a Black Vietnam vet who suffered life long pain from a service related injury but was constantly turned away from care by the VA I can’t even bring myself to read this. My father eventually died of a treatable condition at 62 b/c he was sent home to take ibuprofen by a VA doc.

A 2017 internal Veterans Affairs report shows Black veterans were more often denied benefits for PTSD than their white counterparts. The analysis crunched claims data from fiscal year 2011 through 2016. And disparate treatment started after WWI when it was still called shell shock. It continues.

Black veterans were denied VA benefits for PTSD more often than whiteswww.nbcnews.com “Ever since I came back from Vietnam, I knew that I had a problem, but I didn’t know what it was," said one Black veteran.
