The Permanent Counterrevolution On politics and government in a fascist America

Ruth Ben-Ghiat wrote nearly a year ago, "This sounds fantastical. Yet the strongman’s special talent is to bring the unthinkable into being. People throughout history have been caught by surprise."

Don't believe the hype: MAGA knows that RFK's "endorsement" of vaccines is phony Using Trump's pandemic playbook, Kennedy uses anti-prevention actions to speak louder than his empty words

Mainstream media took RFK's "endorsement" of vaccines at face value.

In reality, his Texas trip was focused on sending a different message: Only weak people use vaccines, and morally superior people tough out letting kids die.

I love paying TurboTax a few hundred bucks every year to figure out how much money I owe the government, which the government already knows, but won't tell me because TurboTax pays legislators to keep the government from telling me. 😻

I don’t understand how we so quickly forgot the supply shock lessons of Covid. Do people not remember what it was like to just not be able to get ahold of stuff required for daily existence?

I am telling you, manufacturers that can’t absorb these tariffs are going to simply stop assembly lines.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

pretty rough to square with the attempted sober takes from 2024 about mass deportations being too expensive or complicated for trump’s team to pull off

Tariffs are still on, nothing’s changed, this rebound is bravado and magical thinking

A two-panel meme using a cartoon flower character. In the top panel, the flower is angrily yelling, with the caption: "WHEN A BAKER IS ASKED TO MAKE A CAKE FOR A GAY COUPLE." In the bottom panel, the same flower is smiling calmly, with the caption: "WHEN PEOPLE ARE BLACK BAGGED AND SENT TO A CONCENTRATION CAMP IN EL SALVADOR." The meme contrasts public outrage over LGBTQ+ rights with apathy toward human rights abuses.

SCOTUS right now.
