The many manifestations of racism — slavery, segregation, etc — were an integral part of not just African American history, but American history. Denying that reality and pretending racism wasn’t a serious problem is, in itself, racist.

Here is a short analysis that focuses on what Project 2025 would mean for student borrowers and debt. It’s based on the concrete aspects of the P2025 proposal. Things get worse if you read between the lines.

As close as it gets. Two are in production and slated for launch in 27 and 28. I think 2 more will be ordered. Of course, the expeditionary design is larger, since A26 is designed for Baltic ops

My trip to Sweden included a bunch of Canadians largely to tout the A26 expeditionary. Not sure why you think the A26 line isn't up, I saw the first two hulls in the construction hall.

If any other high-profile presidential candidate gave one speech this rambling and unhinged, it would be a major story. Trump, of course, has given dozens of such speeches in this campaign cycle.

Yeah, but I don't think France has a domestic AEW&C design and probably doesn't want to spend the time developing it, and GlobalEye is at least a European solution

I would also like people to be much more concrete about a) does Biden stay President in their Rube Goldberg machine of a campaign shakeup? and b) who specifically takes over the campaign? Not googoo process arguments. One name. Not 5 or a generic Democrat. Who takes over?

And like. It’s not that it *couldn’t* be illegal—an org could discriminate against a white man. But you have to prove that in that hiring round, there was a qualified white candidate denied bc of his race! This complaint doesn’t even try!

More on that “peace” agenda. Medvedev: “Even if Ukraine surrenders the territories we claim and renounces NATO aspirations in exchange for a peace deal, sooner or later we would still have to put the nail into the coffin of Ukrainian statehood and return the rest of the country’s lands to Russia”.

This is gold. Hard to decide which line to pull, but I'll do with this: "[the Cybertruck's owner was surprised] that the people taking his car out for a joyride worked for the press. He suspected we were going to say mean s—t about Elon, and he was right. Elon Musk is a penis."

The GOP push to destabilize the 2024 election has already begun, with lawsuits filed in a host of states around familiar Trump talking points: mail-in ballots, supposed voter-registration fraud, etc. “This is how you build a story that enables political interference in the post-election process." 🎁

Extending 14th Amendment rights to fetuses is not "softening" one's stance on abortion. It would criminalize abortion nationwide in the United States. This is a change in rhetoric, not a change of heart.

Here's exactly why this matters: the GOP knows that the country is quickly becoming more diverse. Democracy -- allowing more people to vote -- means that they are out of office. Being anti-democracy is a fancy way of saying you would like the return of John C. Calhoun.

Gonna keep banging this drum- it was always on the cards after he came out as the most pro labour president of the 21st century, and probably my lifetime. Of course the corporate shill wing of the party want him gone and of course the leftmost part of it recognise how good he's been for their causes

This is correct. The last couple decades of horserace coverage have convinced us on a bone-deep level that elections have scores that endure and need to be overcome in some sort of strategic way, which I think is a wildly unhelpful way of looking at them.
