Trump & King โ€œbelong to the same subset of white nationalists who are afraid of how the country is changing.โ€ JORGE RAMOS & Trip Gabriel have great @NyTimes articles on GOP as #WHITOPIA nytimes.com/2019/01/10/us/โ€ฆ

They werenโ€™t on a field trip to see the Smithsonian. Theyโ€™re teenage boys bussed in to demand adult women have no reproductive rights and shouting โ€œBuild that Wallโ€โ€”to an indigenous Vet. GOP culpable in all this. #MLKDay latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/โ€ฆ

That @Esquire cover. @JayFielden: "feminazis" "black people" "fags"--white boys have been complaining about โ€œchangeโ€ for a good 25 yrs now-- reread the Columbine diaries. That mania to understand โ€œthe American Boyโ€ is caught up in your *own* white-picket-fence nostalgia

Back in 2014, I decided never again to appear on Fox News Its raging sexism, racism, & general idiocy had become too unbearable, too extra. At this point, any moderate or progressive appearing on that network is a self-loathing flame, not a light bulb. #FireTuckerCarlson
