Trump Officials Told to Make Sympathetic Comments About Accused Killer Kyle Rittenhouse
A 17-year-old boy arrived at a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisc., armed with an AR-15-style rifle. Those who support Trump will tell you that the armed, pale-faced teen was there to keep the peace and nothing helps keep the peace like an assault weapon. During the protest, the armed thug opened fire, allegedly…

Well, Whad'Ya Know? One of Trump's Top Lawyers Is a Covington Catholic Graduate
Covington Catholic has been receiving a lot of press lately. There’s been video of a reported Covington Catholic kid chanting “It’s not rape if you enjoy it.” There was another image of a Covington Catholic thug in blackface.

Looks Like Utah Jazz Guard Grayson Allen Will Continue His White-Privileged, Thuggish Ways in the NBA
Former Duke University guard Grayson Allen is all of the adjectives used to describe white basketball players who are relentless gritty, hard-nosed and scrappy. He’s been called a “real student of the game,” but Grayson Allen is also a term usually used to describe black men: thug. For years, Allen has been one of college…

Trump’s Thug, the Ruthless Gina Haspel, Confirmed as the 1st Female CIA Director
Gina Haspel, President Donald Trump’s pick who refused to call torture immoral, was confirmed Thursday with the help of several spineless Democrats who voted in favor of Haspel’s becoming the first female director of the CIA.

‘Disrespectful’ and More Things White People Say When They Really Want to Call Black People the N-Word but Can’t
Like the devil—who I’ve heard is a 3-handicap golfer and makes a killer sangria—Donald Trump is not without his good qualities. He’s a great, Zoolander-level squinter. Perhaps one of the world’s all-time great squinters. He’s apparently amazing at purchasing and eating KFC. It’s not a game with Trump’s Chicken Littles combo-eating game. When Donald Trump…

Thug Charged With Shooting and Critically Injuring Homeless Man After He Asked Her to Move Her Porsche
I know that there are those who, after reading this headline and seeing the picture attached to this piece—a young and blond and smirking white woman’s mug shot—will consider the use of “thug” to be intentionally sensationalistic, a shameless troll wrapped in a paradox intended to elicit reaction. Of course, if you’re aware that white…

Mont. Congressman-Elect Who Body-Slammed Reporter Issues Apology
Montana Rep.-elect and reported political thug Greg Gianforte has issued an apology to the Guardian reporter he “body-slammed,” and is basically playing politics by pledging to donate $50,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Hopefully the organization covers protecting journalists from white male Republicans who don’t like being asked questions. On May 24, Gianforte attacked…

Jared Kushner Is A Thug
Thug has become such a ubiquitous dog whistle for a certain type of uncomfortable Blackness — and by “certain type of uncomfortable Blackness” I mean “all Blackness” — that the whistle is no longer necessary. Nothing is coded, nothing concealed, nothing cloaked. Those who use it in this context can’t even feign to deny anymore that…

Duke Guard Grayson Allen Is a Thug, and His Indefinite Suspension Was a Joke
Duke guard Grayson Allen is a thug. He’s a full-fledged habitual thug who happens to be good at basketball. He’s also a temperamental, whiny brat, but make no mistake about it, he’s a thug. Mainstream media has been reluctant to call him that, and the handling of his on-court violence has been a joke, by…
