"several of these men, posting racist, biased comments about
immigrants, have Hispanic names."
Prejudice runs far deeper than a person's ethnicity or the color of
their skin, or their sex.
To my own prejudiced mind, I can't understand how any woman could vote
for Donald Trump. Or why so many blond women tried to get next to O J
Simpson after his trial?

Subject: Giving up the ghost of Ronald Reagan...And the out-of-control
Border Control
Last week we reported that a voter-suppression bill had passed the
Pennsylvania legislature and was awaiting the signature of the state’s
Democratic governor in order to become law. An update: He has decided to
veto it. I have an essay in this Sunday’s Outlook section of the Washington
Post, adapted from my book, which tries to answer the question of what on
earth is wrong with Democratic party leaders. The answer, I think, has to do
with the Reagan era.

The border situation continues to spiral. It doesn’t seem to have fully sunk
in that there was a private Facebook group of some 10,000 current and former
Border Patrol employees, many of them in supervisory roles, that in many
respects was indistinguishable from a standard racist Facebook hate group.
Their word for immigrants is “tonks” -- a reference to the sound their
flashlights make when they smash them against the heads of men, women, and
children fleeing (US-driven) violence in Central America. The group was
exposed last week by ProPublica, but a reporter of ours had gotten access to
it previously (though had yet to publish his story), and was able to archive
much of the material before the group started trying to delete it. What he
found is appalling enough that the entire leadership of this rogue agency
ought to resign in disgrace.

fought to stall Jair Bolsanaro’s attempt to completely bulldoze it. Aside
from everything else, it’s the last great carbon sink on this teetering
planet, and if it gets destroyed, it’s hard to see how we can turn this
around.
At least we have the World Cup to watch tomorrow morning?
