"They have shot down true masculinity in the street and replaced it with the fragility of trigger-happy men who have nothing but hate in their hearts and unsatisfied wives in their beds.
There is a war on masculinity — and Trump is waging it."
"[Stephen Miller] goes by the pronoun he, Himmler."
~ David Shuster

"The whole thing about Ilhan Omar, I think there are going to be very few articles about that because I don't think white men are going to write about that topic and how she must have felt in that moment. But there's this picture where her security guard or security guard is sort of protecting her from this this person."
~ Zuri Stevens
"And for me as a black woman, that image of her being protected really touched my heart because that's something that is so difficult."
Kevin MacFarland offers valuable analysis of the timeline of radicalization that led to Anthony Kazmierczak's attack on Ilhan Omar.
Note the key points: two divorces followed by apparent rage when a Black girlfriend broke up with him: a man with employment difficulties, financially unstable, apparently unable to maintain healthy relationships with women.
Perfect pickings for MAGA — and rage against Omar.

Steve Rose's valuable report today about the AI "slopaganda" emanating from the White House is worth it for the ludicrous image of Trump as a muscled Luke Skywalker alone.
