The reason the “Haitians are eating pets” story is so juicy is that many Americans hate immigrants and hate how they move in and shift the demographics of communities, but need a more rational reason to hate them than “I just want my town to be white.”
This story gives it to them

TNC’s 9/11 stuff never really bothered me because it was so stupid, it wasn’t worth engaging in, but if he thinks New York is irredeemable because we had slavery until 200 years earlier, then why are Arabs, who raided black African villages and took slaves back to the Middle East

We need to start entertaining the reality that many Muslim men in the US are using Gaza as a veil to cover their real feelings, which is why they love Trump for the same reason white men do - he will put women, LGBTQ people and other "lesser" people in their places and make them
I don't see how Trump's foreign policy can be worse than Biden at this point. The difference would mainly be that the Secretary of State wouldn't be pretending to cry while arming and ramping up every war in the Middle East? Doesn't seem like a vital difference.

Yeah, nothing the Democratic Party has done to appeal to demographics they were told would come to them if they moved left - labor, Latinos, young voters - has worked. If Harris loses, we’re returning to Clintonism.
Biden-era Democrats have been more supportive than ever of blue collar unions qua unions but gotten less support than ever from blue collar union members.
Probably better to just be more moderate on cultural issues AND environmental stuff AND labor.

One of my more unpopular takes is racism is the core reason for all of America's problems - from poverty to healthcare to education to transportation. It all comes back to us not wanting to make lives better for black people even if it means white people also have to go without

Relatedly, just saw another example of someone who was unaware the Flint water mess was fixed years ago, and was ranting about it.
