Me gustaría que en EUA se tomaran más en serio que entre 30 y 40% de la población está compuesta de fascistas y cristofascistas irredentos, y/o personas con los cerebros más podrido del hemisferio por la propaganda de ultraderecha.

Propagandist for the greatest explosion of Nazism in American history doubles down on insisting Nazis be given air time on "60 Minutes" to spread lies about the people they kidnapped, tortured, and sent to concentration camps.

Couldn’t Sam Altman just ask ChatGPT how to make itself profitable

Democrats should make crystal clear that whether it is high level Trump officials, commanders carrying out illegal murders, or ICE/CPB goons, investigations and indictments are coming—referring to state AGs if Trump blanket pardons for federal crimes.

It’s too bad only farmers are people and not librarians or artists or healthcare workers or researchers.

yes! how can *both sides* turn down the temperature when one side keeps dousing everything in accelerant?

Financial Times headline says “critics accuse” Trump of extrajudicial killings

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

Project Gutenberg is one of those places that exemplifies what the internet was initially all about: studying, preserving, and celebrating the arts, especially the written word, and Greg Newby was a huge part of that.

Thank you, Greg, and rest well.

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

The reason every elite institution in the country is propping up pampered millionaire Ezra Klein is that his overarching response to the country’s plunge into tyranny is “Don’t fight the fascists, become a little more like them.”

“if you wish to see a virgin on-screen” thank u economics professor tyler cowen for that very cool and normal phrase

That's about "the French don't even have a word for entrepreneur" level.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

Ezra Klein on today’s podcast:

“The reaction to my article about Charlie Kirk was intense; it really made me think how America is in a dangerous place.

Anyhow here’s an interview with Ben Shapiro about how society is made of lions and scavengers and how Obama being too woke ruined the country.”

Me recuerda cuando cierto influencer español de la web 2.0 escribió hace años: «Si me documentara, escribiría mucho menos y esto no tendría tanto éxito».

Guy with a Dr. Strangelove avi who’s never heard of the Red Scare

Never been a more successful mass gaslighting campaign than telling you it's inciting violence to call someone racist or a fascist.

While those same people are like "we should mass execute millions of children and veterans if they don't own property or can afford rent"

Me desespera lo mucho que cierta banda culpa a las redes sociales e internet por todo. Breve recordatorio de que literalmente el en difundir la teoría de conspiración de que las balas del asesino de Kirk tenían mensaje de «ideología trans» fue el pinche WSJ.

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

Left’s Dehumanization Of MAGA Behind Rising Support For Violence Decrying Charlie Kirk’s assassination isn’t enough

In an almost laughable parody, Shellenberger is working on a project examining the left’s “dehumanization” of the right.

The profound level of dishonesty and cynicism it requires to paint dehumanization of one’s political opponents as remotely a left-wing issue is staggering.

Unserious man.

In other news, do we think Jacobin knows about the Jacobins

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?

It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

The attack continues further down in the Kirk article’s lead paragraphs, where editors said Kirk was controversial due to his "opposition to gun control, abortion, and LGBTQ rights; his criticism of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Martin Luther King Jr.; and his promotion of Christian nationalism, COVID-19 misinformation, the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, and false claims of electoral fraud in 2020." COMPLETE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE KIRK The framing ensures that anyone searching for Kirk after his murder is met with a narrative designed to discredit him.

Ashley Rindsberg and Fox News are furious at Wikipedia editors for “attacking” Charlie Kirk by... listing the viewpoints he prominently and publicly advocated

I'm genuinely confused at so much of my feed being filled with "Don't celebrate Charlie Kirk being shot **because** this gives Trump the go ahead to violently crush opposition." Did you mean to add "faster" to the end of that sentence? Like, he wasn't waiting for an impetus. It's happening already

this is all true but it's also hard to say how much that matters given the fact that this is literally their rhetoric all the time now

This is your brain on techofascist billionaire money.

conservatives are increasingly going to deal with issues because they treat a man being murdered in broad daylight and a beloved character being recast with a black actor as the exact same level of severity. everything is a crisis and the only acceptable response is to "crush" the enemy

the website that lists Rachel first as someone allegedly celebrating Kirk's murder screenshots a tweet where she explicitly condemns violence & says she hopes he survives. for that she's receiving death & rape threats

Ezra Klein is trying in this column to argue that Kirk was doing politics correctly if you just ignore the content of what he was advocating. That he was contributing to American democracy by arguing civilly for the subjugation of women, gay people, trans people. It simply doesn’t work.
