according to roberts, the 2024 presidential election represented an expression of some rousseauean general will, embodied in the person of donald trump. as such, any political unit which deviates from that will is illegitimate and must be disciplined.

the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history

It may not be what GOP voters were voting for** but it was exactly what the GOP megadonors paid for.

** it kinda is though.

darkly funny that the big innovative idea of the new populist right is, uh, scream about brown people and use the power you win to give money to rich people

There are only three political positions in America today

1) I like the fascism

2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)

3) I oppose the fascism

The rest is details

The Public Is Resisting Trump. The Elites Aren’t. The president is encountering little resistance as he remakes our society. And yet polling is clear that voters aren’t with him.

“You know what would help a lot? Some elite disapproval—publicly and boldly expressed. While a successful democracy depends on some degree of reasonableness from voters, a successful liberal democracy also depends on responsibility and even courage from elites.”

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

As many of us people who study or work in tech tried to tell y’all, move fast & break things was always about POWER, not progress.

It’s been fascinating to watch a stream of institutionally stable industries throw themselves w/ wildly enthusiastic abandon into the financial wood chipper based solely on the comically false promises of tech industry grifters who only have to claim “there’s a better way” while never delivering it.

“Hi I don’t have the courage to protest with you but I have some notes about the optics.”

This is not an exaggeration. ICE is the Gestapo of America, and will continue to be so until they remove the masks, identify themselves, and disclose who they are taking and where they are going.

These are BASIC principles of democratic free countries.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

tell the cops to cut the violence, not the people. protestors are not violent, protests are not violent. actions taken in response to violence, be it to the self or to the community, are self defense and preservation. tearing families apart is violence. borders are violence. cops are violence.

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

centrism means focusing on the good things bad people do and the bad things good people do

currency of the realm in republican politics is a blithe contempt for life and indifference to suffering

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

Precedent means nothing to fascists when they need to maintain and grow power. Precedent only matters when others attempt to curtail the power of the fascists or business they depend on for funding will precedent be upheld.

2015: “Traders Joe’s cashiers are too chatty. You know it’s fake!”
2025: “Your plan does not include mental health benefits. Your therapist is now the Trader Joe’s cashier.”

something to be said about how these people view americans as inputs to be used up by capital
