Very good sophisticated article on the problems "with sorting based on the dominant racial binary"

By artappraiser on Fri, 07/31/2020 - 5:56am |

Rejecting the term “people of color” may be of little consequence, @etammykim writes, but rejecting the solidarity it implies can result in an inaccurate and unduly limiting world view. https://t.co/S0hQrZFy3C

Proof that the Cult of Trump and the GOP are not the same thing

By artappraiser on Sat, 07/25/2020 - 10:51pm |

This shit is hilarious-

.. the Trump cartel is refusing to let the RNC provide any real money for House Republican reelection campaigns, even though House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is begging for money.

Major Dem attack on Senator John Cornyn going on?

By artappraiser on Sun, 07/12/2020 - 11:51pm |

THE DEMS NEED TO GO ALL OUT IN TEXAS. Not because of the Biden numbers, which are excellent, but because of the Cornyn numbers, which are shocking. He is at 37%, against MJ Hagar. When the number two GOP Senator is a 37% that is a very bad sign for the GOP in Texas https://t.co/zyfPUf89fl

NYT Why People Voted For Trump
NYT Why People Voted For Trump

submitted by rmrd0000 1 day ago

Trump's denialism worked

Mr. Trump abdicated responsibility, shifting the burden onto states and municipalities with busted budgets. He then waged a war of words against governors and mayors — especially Democrats — who refused to risk their citizens’ lives by allowing economic and social activity to resume.

He spurred his supporters to make light of the danger of infection, made the churlish refusal to wear masks into an emblem of emancipation from the despotism of experts and turned public health restrictions on businesses, schools and social gatherings into a tyrannical conspiracy to steal power by damaging the economy and his re-election prospects.
