    A few years ago I wrote an essay titled "The Cruelty Is The Point" on Trump's approach to politics and policy. On Tuesday, my book sharing that title is being published. Today in the @nytimes, I explain why Trumpist politics didn't end with his defeat. nytimes.com/2021/06/26/opi…

    Some people out here who think police murdering a black 12 year old with a toy gun is justified suddenly get really into forgiveness and grace when a white teen loses his chance go to Harvard.

    When they say they’re willing to die for the economy what they mean is they’re willing to let you die for the economy.

    It's telling that resentment towards wealth in sports is always directed at black athletes and not the vastly wealthier franchise owners.

    “I’m voting for the tax cuts not the racism” isn’t a thing. It’s a package deal.

    That Chance tweet is an example of a larger problem, which is viewing the presidency as a vessel for your hopes and dreams rather than as a job that requires particular skills/talents/temperament/knowledge to do well

    The “are you triggered snowflake????” crowd is somehow on day 3 of a sputtering tantrum over a razor blade commercial

    Watching the Roy Moore re-endorsements I'm reminded of the many, many times I've seen white people on cable news arguing black culture is excessively tolerant of criminal behavior.

    The “Biden memorized all the questions and answers” talking point is somewhat in tension with the “Biden has dementia” talking point.

    Looks to me that Biden had an idea of what the questions would be, at least areas of questioning.

    White kids in MAGA hats jeering a Native American Vietnam veteran. This era is just a series of extremely heavy-handed metaphors

    White people insisting their European ancestors came “legally” during a period where the US had open borders and didnt even require immigrants to learn english is one of the dumbest and most harmful myths guiding our current politics.

    Enjoying my time in Ireland. Visited County Cavan where my ancestors were evicted from their land in 1845. That forced them to come to America legally so they wouldn’t starve. Pardon me if I reject the “white privilege” scenario if applied to my family.
