This is why people should unsubscribe from the NYT what absolute trash

Cape is in the mail

Every day, I am reminded that it was a good idea to unsubscribe

This is Scotty. He is not chasing his own tail's shadow. If you'll notice, he actually has it cornered. 13/10 (TT: lifewithscotty)

People are frustrated with what you are saying because they feel we are on a train hurtling into a solid wall, and you are arguing we haven't crashed yet, which while true, ignores that we may do so, imminently. and so you're driving people up the wall that want to pull the brakes. 3/3

After the decisive break, the new regime is often an unstable "prismatic" configuration, not immediately totalitarian. Consolidated authoritarianism is characterized by "limited political pluralism" and reliance on "passive mass acceptance". 2/3

Descent from a stable democratic republic to authoritarianism, per Linz, is a cumulative process, not an overnight event. The dramatic "anti-constitutional act" marks the culmination of democratic failure, preceded by a period of decay/crisis fueled by ineffectiveness of civilian leadership 1/2

I didn't have enough room to say I ultimately agree with your point in aggregate, just wanted to point out you can have a regime engage a fascist program without being as far gone as the secret goon squad un-aliving people for tweets.

Are you going by Umberto Eco's explanation of fascism in UR fascism or ??? because his 14 tenants of fascism and your list of things that would be different don't seem to match up, like fascism is better understood as a political program for taking and consolidating power more than a policy set

See, this is the thing if you think you can make it better fine I guess --- but if you cant then dont try- no shame in having heinz heinz is delicious. Its like pumpkin pie filling - if you cant make it better than the canned stuff, please dont.

wtf is happening

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

I guffawed reading this and coffee got on my shirt.

Too easy 🔱⚜️

it is almost as if someone was promoted beyond their ability

these people are dumb, and things are getting out of hand.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

incredible new trump photo

Oseguera caught another break from the Trump administration. The president’s campaign to deport immigrants in the U.S. illegally has taken federal agents away from drug-traffic interdiction. In Arizona, two Customs and Border Protection checkpoints along a main fentanyl-smuggling corridor from Mexico have been left unstaffed. Officers stationed there were sent to process detained migrants. A senior administration official said the U.S. border is more secure than it has ever been. Colombia is producing records amounts of cocaine, and the volume of the drug arriving in the U.S. is driving down prices, the people familiar with cartel operations said. Cocaine prices have fallen by nearly half to around $60 to $75 a gram compared with five years ago, said Morgan Godvin, a researcher with the community organization Drug Checking Los Angeles. “The price of pure cocaine has plummeted,” Godvin said.

The Trump-Miller administration's single-minded focus on migration is starting to impact the availability of drugs in the US, according to this detail from a very good investigation @wsj.com published today.

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

Jeanine Pirro bragging in August that she just arrested Sandwich Guy and was going to teach him a lesson in court.

"Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core."

This needs music
