Whenever you see something like this, don’t confront them. Turn around, find the subhuman filth like Choe who are filming, and get in their face to spoil their shot.
Hindus celebrating Diwali in Seattle were targeted with signs reading “Deport All Dot Heads” and “Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians.” This is not “concern about American culture.” It is racism, religious bigotry, and intimidation aimed at families simply celebrating their festival of lights. America’s strength has always come from pluralism—not from making minorities afraid to practise their faith in public. Condemn this hate loudly. Diwali belongs everywhere light, love, and community are welcome. Note: The event was a free, public Seattle Center Festál celebration, “Diwali: Lights of India,” held at the Armory on November 7.

Republicans will spend time and treasure, likely years and millions of dollars, for consultants and experts and pundits to find out what went wrong and how this happened. Save your money and don’t waste your time. The answer came 10 years ago by a Senator from South Carolina who didn’t live to see his prophetic words come to pass. “If we nominate Donald Trump we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it.” Republicans blew up their party, their values, their dignity and decency for a man who wasn’t even a Republican. Unilateral tariffs on our allies by executive orders isn’t conservative. Siding with Vladimir Putin’s murderous war in Ukraine isn’t conservative. Accepting a bribe from a foreign country in the form of an airplane that costs hundreds of millions of dollars isn’t conservative. Turning untrained thugs in masks loose in our communities to murder American citizens in cold blood isn’t conservative. Threatening to invade and conquer a sovereign country, an ally, isn’t conservative. Pardoning people who assaulted law enforcement officers isn’t conservative. The list is too long and too exhausting to contemplate. Republican law makers lit themselves on fire for a thrice married, sociopathic, mentally unstable reality tv personality who bragged about acing a test to check for dementia and spoke about the asses of male candidates for the US Senate. There was a time when I believed we should welcome any of them who finally spoke up back into polite society. But that ship has sailed. These people should live in shame for the rest of their days, shunned and repudiated in history books, never to hold a position that requires the public trust ever again.

The American People summoned their moral constitution, repudiated Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans forever, and demanded moral leadership from their elected representatives, reclaiming for America the moral authority required to be the leader of the free world once again.

I'm not going to argue with someone who's in mourning Also, with someone who dishonestly wants me to vouch for whether Democrats *might* change procedure in a chamber that *was definitely* overrun by Trump-cult seditionists who were later pardoned with silent GOP complicity.
I'm talking about things Democrats actually propose & campaign for - including their leaders in Congress & their most recent presidential nominee. Here's a simple one, Tom: will you promise your readers that Democrats would never attempt to eliminate the Senate filibuster?

Massive increase in Musk-worship on my feed today. Poor Elon had a bad night and turned the dial to make himself feel better.

Republicans have a simple, clear path to redemption: blame it all on Trump. This works because it happens to be true: he’s the root cause, patient zero for all of their problems across the board (other than their own cowardice). Savage him. The lies/corruption. Impeach, convict.

But you folks must be the ones to impeach Trump. You created this mess. You clean it up. We’ll provide the votes to remove him but you people destroy him. Publicly. Affirmatively. You don’t need him and he’s a national security crisis. Get rid of him.

You’d think this would be a wake up call to you assholes to stop this shit. Democrats didn’t kill Kirk. A lunatic did. Your constant fear mongering propaganda is why y’all are losing- because Americans aren’t as stupid as you think they are.

Imagine folks bragging and honestly thinking they're a "Patriot" because they voted for a politician or a political party that doesn't give a rat's fucking ass about you. That doesn't make you a Patriot, it makes you an embarrassing gullible Pathetic chud.

Limiting and constraining executive power must be the great project of the next several years. Perhaps someday we can look back on this "crisis of the third American century" as the time when it almost all fell apart, before we turned confidently into a new era of American greatness.
The good thing about a movement to roll back Executive power is that its not Dems vs Repubs vs Indies. It’s essentially a uniting,non-partisan move as it limits the power of anyone in the White House regardless of party. It’s long-overdue constitutional repair and maintenance.

Look, I am (and always have been, regardless of who the Senate majority leader has been) against eliminating the filibuster. But it is NOT THE SAME AS TRYING TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.

No, I'm saying that your attempt to ignore years of Trump and the GOP repeatedly attacking our constitutional order by creating some fantasy of what you assert Democrats will do three years from now is a dishonest and partisan argument - and you, of course, know it.
So, to be clear, there's nothing so radical Democrats would propose that you would say "this is bad" rather than "but Trump." Which is my point.

TDS was never a diagnosis. It was a tell. The people who had it saw clearly & the people who coined the term needed a word for why they didn’t. If you’re still anchored to your original read on Trump after everything you’ve watched, you’re lying to yourself to save face.

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…
