The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.

They won't only be for brown and Black people.

The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.

The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

The fact that Talerico has gotten more press for the FCC and CBS preventing his interview from airing than he would have ever gotten if they had aired the interview has made me smile all day.

And the fact that he totally crushed (most of) the interview is even better.

PROJECTION. ffs, it's everything they say. Control the narrative by accusing someone else of your crimes first.

It's hard to believe that you could be the trade representative for a major power and not know that tariffs are regressive.

My econ 101 students know what the word regressive means, and that tariffs are regressive. Many could even cite studies on the subject.

Stephen King villains are a very funny outcome of Writing What You Know because they're so clearly based on assholes he's met in real life, even if that doesn't necessarily make sense in context, so you get shit like the giant baby-eating spider from space inexplicably being an outspoken homophobe.

I think we’ll see more of these non- and semi-aligned merc groups active and recruiting as the Klept accelerates its failed-state process worldwide.

Colbert Says CBS Didn’t Air Interview With Democrat Due To FCC 'Equal Time' Rule The Late Show host’s interview of Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico was published on his YouTube channel, but didn’t air on CBS due to the FCC’s β€˜equal time’ mandate.

Ah, so now the FCC is directly censoring political opposition in media.

Goodbye and Good luck, David Brooks His musings about personal morality have been thoughtful; his views about public morality and our political economy, far less so.

As much as I love Bob Reich and his faith in the perfectibility of mankind, I think he misses the underlying source of Brooks’ blindness to the ugliness in public policy and official morality: Brooks’ own utter hypocrisy. He’s as phony as a megachurch preacher.

Been there and done all of them and your choices explain a lot: doctrinaire and the usual phony vanguardism. Broaden your horizons: Henry Lefebrve Critique of Daily Life, David Graeber Debt, CLR James The Black Jacobins. And just go away, you have nothing to teach me.

OMG grow the fuck up, baby Intersectionalist! Find out what the words "context" and "practical politics" mean. MAYBE READ A FUCKING BOOK! Start with Ned Blackhawk's "The Rediscovery of America" and then get back to me on next steps. Until then, you make as much sense as Trump.

Many of the same issues extended right into the 1940s and 50s. The idea that Lincoln was some kind of "colonizer" is simply a joke.

More a dig at blowhards who call themselves "baddies" and have the idiocy to pretend that the south would have eventually abandoned slavery without pressure from the north. Southern oligarchs couldn't maintain their obscene wealth without slavery, and said so, often.

Wow, do you ever have an appropriate handle. The south had no hope of industrializing and was about to extend the slavocracy to central and south america by military force. Read β€œRiver of Dark Dreams”.

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.
