This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

I assume you watched Get Back β€” what was that experience like for you, as someone who’s also in a band that’s had to deal with its share of tension and dysfunction?

REID: You can see that it was so much more intense for them. With a normal band, the things that you’re bickering over can’t compare to the pressure they must have been under. And you could see in that film that they were all terrified to speak in case they were misunderstood. I’ve watched it a couple of times now, and the first time I watched it, I was saying to my other half, Rachel, β€œThey’re so inarticulate β€” it’s like they don’t seem to be able to make any point without waffling on unnecessarily.” And then it was only when I watched it the second time I thought, β€œI can see what’s actually going on here: They’re terrified in case they say something that one of the others is going to take offense at.” The stakes were so much more in the stratosphere when it comes to the Beatles. I mean, God, it must have been so stressful.

Have any of the conservative justices floated the idea that if Congress refuses to act on any of the stuff the President is doing then that counts as a tacit exercise of their approval under Article I?

I feel like there's been a weird and massive expansion of what the term "manosphere" means

from a pretty specific and tightly knit set of ideological misogynists to a bunch of kinda dumb, kinda conservative guys who make incredibly popular longform hangout podcasts about all kinds of random shit

Still photo from the finale of White Christmas - the four adult leads and a group of child dancers are assembled in front of a Christmas tree. All of the performers are wearing red costumes trimmed with white fur, and several are wearing matching Santa hats. A ballerina in the center is wearing an all white outfit to contrast with the other performers.

I'm not clear after several readings if they would tag fascist with (derogatory) or (complimentary)

No real beef with the gist of this, but I am so, so sick of tongue-clucking about β€œdivision.” We have a president waging a β€œwar within” (his own words!) against domestic urban populations. That had damn well better be divisive.
