  • Elon Musk Posted About Race on 26 of 31 Days in January, Then Said He Can't Be Racist

    The Guardian counted 26 out of 31 days. The Washington Post counted roughly 850 posts. Musk's defense: his partner is half Indian. That is the whole defense.

  • "They're Eating the Pets": The Lie Was Dead Before He Told It. The Bomb Threats Came Anyway.

    On the night of September 10, in front of the largest audience either candidate will address all year (more than 67 million people), the Republican nominee for President of the United States said this about the legal Haitian residents of Springfield, Ohio: "In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there." Moderator David Muir corrected him in the room, …

  • "Poisoning the Blood of Our Country": The Frontrunner Skips the Euphemism

    In Durham, New Hampshire on Saturday, the Republican frontrunner said immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country." Historians identified the phrase within the hour, because it is not a common English idiom, and the most famous prior user devoted a chapter of his book to it. Three days earlier, a candidate on the same primary stage had called the Great Replacement "a basic statement of the Democratic Party's platform." The party has stopped needing …

  • Vivek Ramaswamy and the 'Great Replacement' Theory

    The article from The Atlantic titled "Ramaswamy, the New Voice of the ‘Great Replacement’ Theory" delves into the controversial statements made by entrepreneur and Republican presidential-primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy regarding the 'Great Replacement' theory. This theory, often associated with white supremacist ideology, suggests that there is a deliberate plan to replace white Americans with immigrants, particularly from non-white backgrounds. Ramaswamy's endorsement of this theory, despite being a practicing Hindu and the son of Indian immigrants, …

  • The Number Three Republican in the House Ran the Ads. Then Buffalo Happened.

    Five days ago a gunman drove three hours to Buffalo's East Side and murdered ten people in a supermarket he chose by zip code, citing the Great Replacement by name in the document he left. In the days since, a great deal of American political energy has gone into establishing that nobody in public life had anything to do with the ideas in that document. So it is worth going back to August and September …

  • He Drove 650 Miles to Find Enough Mexicans. The Word He Used Was "Invasion."

    Twenty-three people are dead in El Paso. The gunman drove more than 650 miles from the Dallas suburbs to reach a border city, and posted minutes before that his attack was "a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas." El Paso is one of the safest cities in America and was Mexican before it was Texan. He did not go there because of what it is. He went because of what he had been told …

  • "Go Back": Three of Them Were Born Here, and the House Put the Word "Racist" in the Record

    On Sunday morning, the President of the United States looked at four Democratic congresswomen (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan) and tweeted that these "'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe," should: "...go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." A brief geography lesson for the …

  • He Titled It "The Great Replacement." Fifty-One People Were at Friday Prayers.

    On Friday, March 15, an Australian gunman attacked the Al Noor Mosque and the Linwood Islamic Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand, during Jumu'ah prayers. Fifty-one people were killed and dozens wounded. The youngest of the dead was three years old. He livestreamed it, because distribution was part of the plan. Before he began, he posted a 74-page document to 8chan. This page will not quote it and will not name him. But it will print …

  • "Why Do We Need More Haitians?": The President Grades the World's Countries by Toilet

    On Thursday, senators brought the President a bipartisan immigration deal covering, among others, people from Haiti, El Salvador and several African nations under Temporary Protected Status. The President of the United States, in the Oval Office, in front of members of Congress, asked: "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" He then suggested the United States should instead take more immigrants from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he had …

  • "Somebody Else's Babies": A Congressman Says the Quiet Part, in Twelve Words, on a Sunday

    On Sunday, March 12, Rep. Steve King of Iowa's 4th District posted approvingly about Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician whose party platform proposes closing mosques and banning the Quran. King's endorsement came with a thesis attached. "Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies." Read it twice, because the construction is doing more work than the vocabulary. There is an "our" that owns a civilization. …
