This guy sees totalitarians and ethnic enemies everywhere, but especially in the places where they aren't.

Right, so who is "white"? The thing is that if you want me to be white, we probably have no goals in common. And if you want me not to be, probably also we have no goals in common.

The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the US constitution are what made the promise of transforming a property owners' republic (where the property included people) into a democracy. The racists and plutocrats hated them from the start, and have never stopped trying to undo them.

I'm not claiming to be able to predict the future, but I think that people who align themselves with a group that is in power temporarily will get a temporary benefit.

Isključili ga iz saobraćaja zbog tehničkog, pa mu ubacili špijunski softver u telefon: Kako je BIA pratila poljoprivrednike Aplikacija NoviSpy, koja omogućava špijuniranje, instalirana je u telefone poljoprivrednika bez njihovog znanja

The fascinating thing about this story is that NoviSpy is really crap software, and if someone puts it on your phone you can tell right away.

This is as good a reflection on the sandwich as you will find. But if it is not offered with Dr Brown's Cel-Ray Soda, wait until it is.

Freddie called an urgent session to overturn Bill Douglas's stay of the execution of the Rosenbergs. Exceptional effort to achieve the miscarriage of justice.

All the people declaring who was the worst US Supreme Court chief justice ever keep comparing John Roberts to Roger Taney, which is fine. But we shouldn't ignore Fred Vinson, who was both incompetent and a horrid racist. Justice for Fred!

Behold the new US national security strategy. The section on Europe is pp. 25-27. It's a weird combination of white supremacist paranoia and cheerleading for the fash.

Farage turns on broadcasters over racism allegations as number of claims hits 28 Reform leader suggests he would boycott BBC, saying he has had letter from Dulwich pupils defending him

Listen. When I was a teenager I was absolutely reprehensible. Ask me to apologise for something I did then I'll just do it, I won't even ask what it was.

The problem with this shitbag Farage is not that he was a racist then. He is a racist now.

I've visited places I never imagined I would see. I've been called out as an enemy by the embassies of countries that did not exist when I was born. I have enjoyed cheeses that did not exist even in my imagination. I could not be happier.
