"It’s time for the world to boycott the US"
"Under Donald Trump, the US is escalating violence abroad & repression at home while facing none of the sanctions routinely demanded of other states."
"A global boycott & divestment campaign may now be the only nonviolent way to force accountability."

"[Kamala Harris] should have been a strong general-election candidate. And yet she was also a woman, and also Black, and that still functions as an unspoken tax in American politics that a lot of people pretend they don’t impose while imposing it anyway. We can call it 'electability concerns' if we want to keep the language polite, but the psychology is obvious:"

"The vile racist attack on the Obamas was not an aberration. It fits the pattern of Trump’s attack on DEI and purge of dozens of Black leaders within the administration."

"On Air Force One, Trump said that he had posted it himself. When a reporter asked if he would apologize, he said, 'No, I didn’t make a mistake.'
While the post exhibited both the president’s vile racism and his failing impulse control, it also seems to have been an attempt to use racism to break the growing coalition against him."

"Trump’s highly racist and offensive late-night Truth Social post depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes broke through the numbness barrier to register on the political Richter scale at a level few of his many previous insults ever achieved."

"Three observations.
First, even Republican senators and representatives are now unafraid to publicly accuse Trump of being a bigot. That’s progress.
Secondly, when congressional Republicans make a ruckus, Trump backs down.
Third, this incident adds to the accumulating evidence that Trump is losing his mind."

"As when they arrested Black journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort as well as Black protesters at a church while leaving white protesters free, Trump and his allies are hammering on racial fault lines. ...
Trump’s doubling down on racism reflects Americans’ growing disillusionment with him and his administration."

"What matters to the American public, Karoline Leavitt, is the fact that the President of the United States of America is an unrepentant, unreconstructed racist who is endangering lives with his blatant racist rants. Obviously, it did matter to someone, because the post was deleted, proving that the outrage was warranted.
This is not an isolated incident, but rather a slice of a broader pattern that has become impossible to ignore."

"But while Trump’s racist video should impact his presidency, it won’t, will it? This is, after all, a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual predator we are talking about. A man who appears to be successfully shrugging off his connections with Jeffrey Epstein, a child rapist. Give it a few days and nobody will remember this story. ...
It’s not just democracy that is dying in the US right now; it is common decency."

"I’m sure I don’t need to tell you this, but for the benefit of press secretary Leavitt, I’m going to spell it out: Trump’s stupid memes and social media posts matter. They matter because the president helps set the parameters of acceptable discourse. They matter because his bigotry emboldens others. Most of all, they matter because they reflect his policies."

"1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable."

"Many tens of millions of Americans not only voted twice to put this man in the White House, but also continue to support him with great fervor, underscoring the motivating power of racism and the need to scapegoat others."

"In a rare capitulation, Trump did remove the post, but he refused to apologize for posting it. Such an act—especially during the opening days of Black History Month—would be a career-ending move for a political leader of any party in a more humane era of American politics. Trump has shrugged it off, but I argue that we should register this as another bright line being crossed, one with knowable chilling implications."
