The feds too (ICE, DHS, FBI ...) are completely infiltrated by domestic terrorist white supremacists, why else would they not take a single action against known white supremacist domestic terrorist cells or even investigate them instead of going after kids at BLM protests? It is some kind of weird reverse Stockholm…

I still don’t understand why the job of a police chief is to “keep their officers safe”. Is that what “safety officer” means - the person whose safety is paramount to our society? I thought the role of law enforcement would be to keep the community safe (and not helping keep white suburbs safe from “outsiders”) and…

Did they realise they just said her name?

When I hear “it’s time to come together”, “let’s heal the nation” and other weak “both sides” nonsense I imagine wypipol having cozy dinner parties with each other, with Democrats steepling their fingers, nodding their heads gravely and saying, “Of course your opinion of reality is entirely valid. You aren’t really…

Yes. Funny how only 20 years ago Repugnicants were all about “enough with the questions already, let’s just declare GBW the President”.

Lots of Asian Americans in that bucket. Why? Here are my thoughts.

For my local chapter of the DSA, I put together an article on How to prepare for Mass Civil Disobedience, together with a short checklist version, a 1 pager to handout or take along for the action itself and a training deck. Some people have found it helpful, perhaps readers here will as well.

It is not just a question of money, it is a symbol, like the confederate-traitor statues and the confederate-traitor flags, and needs to be taken down. Perhaps part can be left up as a historical reminder, and as a climbing wall.

Indian pickles. Or dry coconut garlic chilli chutney.

Is that why there are so many fewer comments than normal on a Michael Harriot article? I was sorely tempted to read all of it, specially after the last line of the 5th paragraph, but I just skipped from the headline to the comments section! By the skin of my teeth!

Thank you for pointing out the absolute idiocy of the statistician’s favorite trick of “correcting” for sampling bias by weighting and ignoring the huge additive variances one incurs due to small under-represented populations. I wish every data psuedo-scientist realised that you can’t get away from 1/sqrt(N). They…

It is real, and has been real probably since the first indentured laborers were brought here from South and East Asia to work on the railroads. It is enough of a thing that for AAPI month last year the progressive HR person at my Bay Area Tech company organized a workshop on AntiBlack Racism in the AAPI community and…

Before explaining a phenomenon, verify that it is real: Yes, according to Google trends searches for “can I change my vote” https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=can%20i%20change%20my%20vote went up from 4-6 a week to 100 a week (preliminary count, they may still be counting mail-in google search terms and…

That is the biggest truth about “12 more days”. What else do people really expect to happen?

It is sad that we are praying for this shit show to be over, just so we can go back to the smaller continuing systemic shit show.

The fact that 40% of the country looks at this colonoscopy bag (as another The Root writer put it) and sees a president ...

“Tonight’s anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse!” Trump added, ...

Why do we have to blame the Russians or the Turks or the Maldivians for racist AF shit? Don’t we have enough homegrown racists with thumbs and rudimentary tech skills?

Hey ... how about a pakora shack for the south asian voters? With chai.

The more worrisome scenario is that this is a feint to be used to call off the elections and postpone them by a year or something so Delerium Jesus Tremens stays as POTUS. The Republicans will propose it and the Democratic well-wishers will vote along with it.
