  • 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.

    Sixty-seven million people heard the Republican nominee say Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were eating their neighbors' pets. The claim had been checked and killed before he said it, and he was corrected on stage as he said it. Six days later his running mate explained the method on camera: "If I have to create stories... then that's what I'm going to do." Springfield's schools are being swept for bombs every morning.

  • "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.

    In the autumn of 2021, Rep. Elise Stefanik, the third-ranking Republican in the House, ran Facebook ads warning of a "PERMANENT ELECTION INSURRECTION" in which amnesty for 11 million immigrants would "overthrow our current electorate." Eight months later a gunman in Buffalo killed ten people, citing the theory those ads describe. Her office says she has never promoted replacement theory. The ads are archived, and the word "electorate" is doing all the work.

  • 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

    The President told four congresswomen of color to "go back" to the countries "from which they came." Three were born in the Bronx, Detroit and Cincinnati; the fourth has been a citizen longer than his youngest son has been alive. The House condemned the tweets as racist, on the record, 240 to 187. Then a rally crowd chanted "send her back," and he let it roll for thirteen seconds.

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

    An Australian gunman murdered 51 Muslim worshippers in two New Zealand mosques on Friday, and published a 74-page document first. Its title was three words: The Great Replacement. This site covers the American right, and this happened 8,000 miles away... which is exactly why it belongs here. The phrase is French, the argument is American, and the document was written to be copied.

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

    In an Oval Office meeting on immigration, the President of the United States asked why America takes people from "shithole countries," meaning Haiti, El Salvador and Africa, and suggested more immigrants from Norway instead. He met Norway's prime minister the day before, which is apparently how the shopping list gets written. Senator Durbin was in the room: "He said these hateful things, and he said them repeatedly."

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

    On Sunday, Rep. Steve King of Iowa tweeted twelve words in praise of the Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders: "We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies." He has spent the days since explaining that he meant culture. The sentence contains the word "babies." Babies do not have a culture yet. They have parents, and the parents are the part he can see.
