This is how white male supremacy works in America. No matter how many white men go on killing sprees because they didn’t get what they wanted (a woman’s attention, popularity in school, a white America), we never discuss the problem of white male rage. Every white killer is a separate and unique “isolated incident,” disconnected from any larger pattern. This is like declaring every tree in a forest to exist in singular solitude and the forest itself to be invisible. Worse, anyone pointing out the obvious existence of the forest is treated as a heretic by polite society because it’s just rude to ruffle the leaves of all the trees. They’re extremely fragile and cannot handle any kind of criticism. After all, you never know what might set another one of them off on a completely isolated killing spree. They’re just under so much pressure these days!

But that’s the result of creating a society that tells exactly one group, white men, that the universe is theirs to command and control; that everything is theirs for the taking. When white men don’t get what they want, how they want, the way they want it, they lash out in a mindless rage at anyone and everyone they blame for denying them what they feel entitled to. Maybe if we stopped coddling them, they’d stop being so fucking fragile. And then maybe, just maybe, they’d stop killing so many of us in petulant rages when they don’t get their way.

The sooner we start talking about the problem instead of finding every excuse imaginable to avoid discussing white male rage, the better off the world will be.

President Donald Trump was up before dawn, apparently googling his own name — and he wasn’t happy with what he found.

The president sent out a pair of tweets at 5:24 and 5:34 a.m. complaining about search engine optimization, and then another from a Fox Business Network host praising him.

“Google search results for ‘Trump News’ shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out.

Meet your Florida Democratic rep: Kim Daniels. She is the incumbent state representative for one of the bluest districts in all of Florida, Legislative District 14 in Jacksonville. The Florida GOP isn’t even bothering running a candidate. This is for two reasons:

1. A Republican just can’t win here, and

2. They have something even better—an incumbent conservative extremist who supports them on everything

She’s the full Trump package. She’s unethical, a bigot, and a hatemonger who rails against women’s rights, LGBTQ folks, and is strongly anti-labor.

Here are actual things she has said in public:

And you can talk about the Holocaust, but the Jews own everything!

I thank God for slavery. … If it wasn’t for slavery, I might be somewhere in Africa worshipping a tree!

Why are the Duval County Democrats putting up with this? I understand not wanting to get involved in a primary, but if one of your people is a corrupt GOP ringer, I don’t think any true Democrat would mind you putting the thumb on the scale.

During his radio program this Tuesday, Root wondered why Tibbetts would subject herself to the vulnerability of jogging outside. After all, the U.S. is crawling with illegal aliens looking to commit murder.

“She has every right to be jogging,” Root said in a video clip flagged by Right Wing Watch. “But I just don’t get it.”

“Why are you jogging outdoors?” he added. “Go get a treadmill and watch TV and jog. Why are you jogging outdoors where there’s a chance some crazy person can attack you?
