Excellent look at the fact that we’ve been here before.

Republicans ruthlessly reshaped America to hold onto power — can Dems do the same thing to save it?

It's my book reading music.

This scene just occured to me after all this time so I had to go see if they'd made a meme yet and of course they did.

Mexicans: My people are being mass deported and locked in inhumane cages because they are blaming us for a culture of crime despite evidence to the contrary.

Blacks: After years of slavery and Jim Crow my people are being systemically murdered, caged, robbed and denied rights based on a phony drug war designed to oppress us.

Natives: After stealing everything we have and massacring us to the border of extinction my people are stuck on small reservations with no resources that are still being invaded while we are also being massacred by the police at unfounded rates while the world as a whole ignores our plight.

Whites: I was told I have privilege and some people said some mean things about me on the internet and people get mad when I make racist jokes.

Weird bellends.

Some of us are decent people.

I'd be all for this - seriously.

Don't you people teach your dogs to heil Hitler?

At last, Trump’s taxes.

In case you hit a paywall at NYT,
there's this Guardian update:

New York Times publishes Donald Trump's tax returns in election bombshell

That NYT story is long, but it’s been carefully written with excellent cross-references and,
apparently, there’s more to come in the following weeks. It appears that Biden paid over
$5 million in taxes for 2017 & 2018. Suggest that the full story be read if possible.

I have never seen somebody as self conscious about their hands as this attorney and his left hand still looks like a fish in the thumbnail

Trump 2016 campaign 'targeted 3.5m black Americans to deter them from voting'

Also, there’s some interesting developments about Parscale’s suicide attempt
coupled with his Congressional testimony coming back to haunt him.

Are the journalists at The Guardian stupid or something? Ad targeting is basic ****.

It appears to be a pointless article written by people who have never seen a political ad online before. I'm amazed it took them 4 years to figure it out.

The Guardian

I like them and mostly respect what they’re up to but I get your point they sometimes try to make a nothing burger into a story. OTOH in a decent world this would be newsworthy so I’m kinda 50/50

DUCK! (both of you)

Dude. I get it.

If you don’t think so then explain instead of just saying duck.

There were anti-Trump ads of all stripes running on FB using the same algorithms back in 2016. There's no magical checkbox in the FB Ad Manager that lets you pick and choose what race to target either. If the Democrats had been smarter they would have been running ads across the state of Wisconsin that Hillary loved them and was going to teach them to code.

The mindboggling part is that it took 4 years for someone at The Guardian to realize that a 12 year old can steal mom's credit card, set up a FB Ad Manager account and start running ads with footage of Hillary Clinton calling black kids superpredators.

I guess he either thinks it’s ironic because Hillary isn’t even running or it’s offensive to try to suppress black voters.

There absolutely were in 2016...

Google modifies search results by location. And It’s not like black people are spread out evenly.

That, and there was a literal race/ethnicity checkbox during the process of making Facebook ads that they've since removed.

Incorrect. There was something called Affinities that tried to map out people's cultural interests based on pages they followed and the like. Targeting people directly by the race they identify as has never been possible. Even with FB's geographical targeting you could only do broad coverage based on X miles around a center point.

Uh, it’s possible af.

Ja this is totally not race targeting.

**** off with your misinformation dude.
