A refresher then?

A great piece that hasn’t aged a day since 1941.

Play the game the next time you’re in a room full of people. I’ve played it. I think for some people it’s almost a reflex. “Which one of you would call the Gestapo on me, and which would watch, relieved, as I was taken from my home in the night?”

I appreciate the writing. Ppl are frustrated.

Whatever happened to 20 committee?

This has been going on for months, why’s the article coming out now?

You sold the Mavs to the Adelsons.

I know people are used to what "originalists" do by now: But I will never accept the fact that these motherfuckers are literally citing the English High Court of Chancery as the ACTUAL REASON courts can't stop Trump takign away birthright citizenship.

“Dallas basketball fans hit hard after Cuban sells team to Adelsons”

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

You sold the Mavs to the Adelsons.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

More in my piece and thread below on another angle on the deep perversity of all this.

A police officer barricaded into a room protecting elected officials from an armed mob attempting to break in for the stated purpose of “hanging” them was not supposed to use deadly force. But a police officer performing the slow-motion killing of a restrained, nonviolent suspect was (a) well within his rights and also (b) wasn’t really responsible for the guy’s death anyway. I am begging you, with tears in my eyes: Stop treating the politicians and commentators and other MAGA enablers who say these things as though they are acting in good faith. These are fascists who see violence deployed by law enforcement as desirable when it is useful to them. But when it is not useful to their project, they pretend that the enforcement of laws is, in itself, illegitimate.

Trump/MAGA denouncing the police killing of Ashli Babbitt (on Jan. 6, as justified as police deadly force can get) while defending the police killing of George Floyd (so clearly unjustified a jury found him guilty) is not hypocrisy.

It's friend-enemy fascism.

Important point from @jvl.bsky.social.

My regime enabler neighbours and relatives might not currently get the anxiety as I do, but whatever happens, I am and will be happier and more fulfilled than they are. And my children, community, and history will not hide me in shame that is guaranteed for them in ANY outcome.

“Hostile”

The words of the Attorney General of the United States of America on FOX News yesterday, after the FBI arrested Wisconsin state Judge Hannah Dugan and charged her with two federal felony offenses.

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause.

“For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.”

“For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

The skeleton key to understanding reactionary conservatism is quite simple: they are scared, all the time, of everything.

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.

Or young people could learn how to save money correctly.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Arrogant. Amateurish. Lacking in situational awareness. A huge security breach that opens operations to foreign actors and puts our military at risk.

A staggering story.

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

Sanders: Our life expectancy is about four years less than in other wealthy countries.

If you’re working class in America, you live 7-8 years shorter than people who are wealthy. Now, why is that?

The answer is not just healthcare. But it is the day-to-day stress that working people live under.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. 

Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. 

Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Hey, can I share some historical context with you about “race-baiter” Ebrahim Rasool?

When I see a South African who’s a little older, I always check what they were doing before 1990. 🧐

Found something surprising: As a boy, Rasool and his family were expelled from District Six.
