In my opinion, one thing white Americans can do to help the discussion of race in America is to stop saying "I don't see color" in regards to people of other races. It's almost as offensive as saying "WHITE LIVES MATTER," to my mind.
Am I wrong in believing this? – at Oklahoma, USA

My July 5th Diatribe after Returning from Europe again:
The weirdest thing about leaving America is realizing how much of America is just a sales pitch.
You spend your whole life hearing “greatest country on Earth,” then you go overseas and see clean trains, safer streets, affordable medicine, cities where people can walk without playing Frogger with an SUV, and workers who take vacations without acting like they committed treason.
And then you come home.
You come home to potholes, medical debt, school shooting drills, $17 airport sandwiches, people living in tents under highways, politicians wearing flag pins (or worse, gun pins) while doing absolutely nothing for the people standing in food bank lines, and billionaires being treated like they’re the fragile ones.
And somehow we’re all supposed to stand there, hand over heart, and pretend this is normal.
I don’t hate America. I hate what America has been taught to tolerate.
I hate that we call basic things “radical.” Healthcare? Radical. Paid leave? Radical. Clean air? Radical. Kids not getting shot in math class? Somehow political.
Meanwhile, the loudest “patriots” are usually the same people telling struggling Americans to shut up, stop complaining, and be grateful.
Grateful for what? A flag doesn’t pay rent. A bald eagle doesn’t cover insulin. Fireworks don’t fix bridges. And chanting “USA” doesn’t make a broken system less broken.
America has incredible people. That’s the tragedy. The people are better than the system they’ve been forced to defend.
So no, I’m not going to call America the greatest country on Earth just because it has the best marketing department.
Real patriotism isn’t pretending the country is perfect.
Real patriotism is being angry that it isn’t, and blaming minorities and immigrants for your own piece of shit life that you created.

Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. took four months off from Congress, fully paid, to treat depression. Time and again, he’s voted against paid sick leave legislation.
What a goddamn hypocrite. 😡

Your reminder that this sonofabitch Mitch McConnell, stole not 1 but 2 SCOTUS seats and packed the lower court with right-wing fanatics and refused to persuade Republican Senator's to convict Trump in both impeachment trials. He's responsible for this fucking nightmare.

"I just want to find 11,780 votes," –Donald J. Trump
Isn’t it ironic that the guy caught on tape trying to overturn an election is the same guy screaming about mass voter fraud?
That’s the psychological voodoo Trump pulled on America. He convinced millions of people that a voting system that worked for generations suddenly became “broken” the moment he lost, and broken in a way only he could fix.
But Trump doesn’t fix systems. He breaks them, blames someone else, and then sells himself as the repairman.
Trump is the mass voter fraud.

We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike.
America First.

OKC Thunder coach Mark Daigneault: “I just saw Mike Muscala on the court and it reminded me that he was such a huge part of our build early on. There are more than a few people that were a huge part of that that weren’t here for the last couple of years to see the fruits of that labor, but he’s certainly one of them. I’m happy to see him coaching. He’s a great man. He’s going to have a great career in coaching. Congrats to him on his first season.”

That’s not at all the job of the Attorney General. Not even close. The AG doesn’t work for the President. He works for the American people. His job isn’t to “execute the president’s agenda.” His job is to fairly execute justice in America. These people are fucking everything up.

This is absolutely insane and 25th amendment grounds in and of itself

If I seem pissed off it’s because I am. Speaker Johnson is a pathetic joke helping Donald Trump destroy this country.

A bill passed the Senate last night 100-0 to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA. If Speaker Johnson called it for a vote it would pass easily.
But he won’t do that. Because Trump has ordered him to keep TSA shut down and keep the chaos.
Pure incompetence.

When is Congress finally going to stand up to this tyrant?!? Make them pay in November!

Trump has it backwards. The U.S. doesn’t subsidize the world; the world subsidizes the U.S. The dollar’s reserve-currency status allows us to live beyond our means. Soaring debt, tariffs, and military threats jeopardize that status. When it’s lost, economic collapse will follow.

Nick Fuentes, 6 months ago:
"Jeffrey Epstein had a pedophile island, and Trump is covering it up."
Nick Fuentes, this week:
"This whole pedo thing, it's like, you know, they're really pedophilia. It's not really pedophilia. They weren't trafficking five year olds. It was like, they were technically 'not legal,' big deal. The issue is not that they were barely legal teens, which is what it is."
"Jeff Epstein, not a pedophile. But you're not ready for that conversation. All of his victims, 14 to 17, that's not pedophilia. People say that's normalizing pedophilia. No, that's defining pedophilia."
"Epstein's my boy, dude. Let's just be honest. Epstein was cool as fuck. I said it. What are you gonna do go ahead? Cancel me? Yeah, I said it. Jeffrey Epstein was cool as fuck."

Dear @bariweiss and @tonydokoupil
This recording of you confirms the worst things people have been saying IMO.
This is NOT journalism.
This is a disgrace to @CBSNews and to any journalists employed by @CBSNews

Reporter: Francisco Longoria was stopped in his car with his teenage son in the passenger seat. One of the Border Patrol agents smashes the glass, and then Longoria drives away. It's very clear that there were no federal agents or vehicles in front of Longoria's vehicle, and yet a Border Patrol agent discharged his firearm at him multiple times.
