Yep. And on all topics, false equivalencies and treating quacks as worth engaging with.

I feel a bit bad to see a worthy effort roasted, but by my reckoning the New York Times bears the second greatest responsibility for the decline of science in the U. S., after the Trump administration.

That's right, you heard us.

Most people aren't brave but at least don't be actively cowardly.

Crucially, @mark-bray.bsky.social is a historian. This is why fascists hate, defund & try to discredit the Humanities. We know how power operates, how lies are constructed, & we are experts at deciphering archives and keeping the stories they contain - including those the powerful want dead - alive.

Happy birthday!

@garthgreenwell.bsky.social why indeed 😉

Bucky introduces the Liberty Legion at a radio press conference.

The Liberty Legion forms a human “V for Victory” on the radio set.

Bucky Barnes - Leader of Antifa

Detail from Marvel Premiere 29 (1976), by Roy Thomas, Don Heck, and Vince Colletta.

The fascist leaders themselves, as we observed in chapter 1, called their movements ideologies, and many interpreters have taken them at their word. It is commonplace to see fascism defined by extracting common threads from party programs, by analogy with the other “isms.” This works better for the other “isms,” founded in the era of educated elite politics. I tried earlier to suggest that fascism bears a different relation to ideas than the nineteenth-century “isms,” and that intellectual positions (not basic mobilizing passions like racial hatreds, of course) were likely to be dropped or added according to the tactical needs of the moment. All the “isms” did this, but only fascism had such contempt for reason and intellect that it never even bothered to justify its shifts.

2a) Apart from featuring his definition of fascism (which he offers reluctantly), Paxton observes how the fascist relation to ideas is merely tactical and not grounded in intellectual consistency.

Useful for today's world to remember how fascists dont feel the need to "justify" changes in position.

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

As you fight ICE in your neighborhoods, always look for potentially positive outcomes to counterbalance your anger and despair. For me this continues to be meeting more neighbors, talking to more neighbors, and finding that others close by have also been fighting in ways I was unaware of.

Just holding on until reality time returns to the clocks and my circadian rhythms can relax.

At least we have hockey again!

Also, if you want to message me, I am happy to share the name of my doc in Maryland. There is also a national ND professional association that might have a doctor directory.

Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.

Bowie, Maryland.

Happy birthday! I think we all have un air fatigué these days.

Hating the Klan is not anti-white. Large swaths couldn't even join the Klan until they had to open up to avoid dying off. The Irish, Greeks, Italians, French, etc.? No dice. You could be 100% Nordic and if your ass was Mormon? Bye.

Hating fascists is righteous and pure American brotherhood.

I know I say this like every day, but they were high the day they picked DC and Chicago to follow LA.
