It‘s fascinating seeing what the right-wing reacts intensely to #onhere. So far it’s been:
1. Saying white men occupy so many positions of power because of racism and;
2. Saying Trump should be impeached/removed from power because he’s unfit/a racist.
The trolls can’t stand it.
I’ve been tweeting about police violence and racism for years but it’s the tweets when it’s specifically calling out the fact that white men are determining these policies/outcomes that it strikes a chord. Why? Because for them it is all about white fear of demographic change.
All of this comes down to demographics. That’s *the* determinative factor for Trump supporters. Will white men continue to enjoy the privileges they have without challenge? That’s the central axis their ideology revolves around.

This isn’t hard to understand. A huge proportion of Americans who identify *ethnically* as Latino also identify *racially* as white and white people tend to vote Republican.
Here’s an example of how race structures the politics of Latinx voters. Lighter-skinned Latinx voters are much less likely to vote Democrat. Moving from darkest to lightest skin, the likelihood a Latinx voter voted Obama in 2012 drops from 97% to 43%. rubenson.org/wp-content/upl…
In that study, 78% of the lightest skinned Latinx voters identified *racially* as white compared to 31% of darker skinned Latinx. So the group of Latinx voters most likely to vote Republican is the group that overwhelmingly self-identities as white. But there’s more...

Let’s talk about how the blackest state in the country has been under white Republican rule for so many years.(1/x)
First some context: Mississippi is 37% black - the largest proportion of black residents of any US state. Given that black voters tend to vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, why do Republicans comfortably win so many statewide elections in MS? (2/x)
Like other Southern states, white Mississippians vote solidly Republican. In 2018, white Mississippi voters voted Republican at roughly the same rate black voters voted Democrat. And since whites are 58% of MS population, Republicans usually win. The *why* is deeper...

40% of all black men in the state of Florida just became eligible to vote *today.* Think about that.
Here’s how the 40% figure is determined. Estimates of the black population in Florida who have already completed their sentence range from 18%-28%. The Sentencing Project has 18%: sentencingproject.org/wp-content/upl…

New research shows a higher 28%: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
But the vast majority of those disenfranchised in Florida are men. Men are 93% of those currently incarcerated in Florida. So 18-28% of black people overall is more like 35-45% of black men in particular who were disenfranchised just a few hours ago and are now eligible to vote.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

I will "probably not" ask potential nominees how they'll vote on Roe V Wade, because: "They were all saying 'don't do that...you shouldn't do that.'" But he adds that abortion might end up being a state decision at some point.

Let me explain why this article is undenatured bullshit.
The Johnson writer makes plenty of mention about the disrespectful tone that liberals use towards the Trump administration. But none whatsoever on what it is people are cursing *about*.

Nothing about the human rights violations, the blatant racism, the lies, nothing.
There was a viral tweet thread the other day that talked about white values (which skew towards politeness, even in the face of bigotry) being learned at home.

But there's also the values picked up at higher learning institutions

1. I remember when you angry #Trumpkins stormed into #Republican Party; called #Conservatives “cucks”, “leftists”, “Killary voters”, “libtards”. You idolized #Trump in a cultic way. You fraternized with alt right #racists. You winked at #sexism. ->

#ConservativeWithoutAParty
2. You said #Conservative principles didn’t really matter, though you really couldn’t tell us what #Conservatism means. Of course, your leader didn’t know either; his attempts to articulate it were painful. You mocked our efforts to explain. ->

#ConservativeWithoutAParty
3. #Trump wild swings of rhetoric, positions, moods didn’t bother any of you. Whatever Trump said last was best & most true, no matter the word salad in which it was presented. His blatant self-contradictions were obvious to all but to you. ->

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
