How much, I wonder, would be saved by me never receiving those emails in the first place because I didn't get fifty thousand emails a day from every company I have ever interacted with?

Even right now, social media is full of centrists complaining about voters not wanting to vote for Kamala Harris due to her being a genocider, and, yeah, I think about this right here.

White House says homeless people in D.C. could be 'susceptible' to jail time White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about the Trump administration's plans to address homelessness in Washington, D.C., saying individuals could be "susceptible to fines or to jail ...

"I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse
For the crime of having no dough/
Now here, I am back out on the street
For the crime of having nowhere to go."

Well, @courtneymilan.com nailed this one three years ago today.

What Is America, and for Whom? A white Christian ethno-state with strict hierarchies or a pluralistic democracy with egalitarian aspirations? American society has always been divided over what this country should strive to be

This good piece describes how the current national strife isn't really much of an aberration, which is an important consideration considering that there still are centrist folks who think that this just came out of nowhere and don't understand it.

This country sucks ass.

The Rule of Law Is Dead in the US The rule of law presupposes that there are rules that provide a consistent, repeatable, and knowable set of outcomes. That’s no longer the case.

The media will write articles like "Is the Radical Left pushing people out of the Democratic Party?" and cite some 19 year old TikTok leftist with 203 followers.

Meanwhile Elon Musk is tweeting stuff like "we must protect White Women to ensure the future of our Race" and that's just Very Normal.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Called It A Genocide Before Bernie Sanders Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

Marjorie Taylor Greene Called It A Genocide Before Bernie Sanders

This is humiliating for everything that passes for the “left” in US politics. Imagine being such a dogshit human being that you’d let Marjorie Taylor Greene be a better person than you.

If Ivy League Education is brainwashing students into becoming leftists, then how come it didn't work on JD Vance?

Because that dude is clearly a moron who could be brainwashed easy as fuck.

The absolute funniest part of capitalist ideology is that they somehow managed to convince everyone that "freedom" meant like...the freedom to choose between 63 kinds of shampoo, and not like...the freedom to quit a job you hate without losing your health insurance.

It should be designed to ensure that creators get fairly paid for their labor. “Intellectual property” is a dreadful construct that never should have existed.

No, they didn’t.

Fascists are threatened by the idea that the targets of their abuse are socially equal persons with genuine needs and basic human dignity that must be respected.

The NYT's credibility relies on the public regarding it as an institution, rather than the pet project of a wealthy individual who is using it now to benefit his millionaire golf buddies.

Epstein: dead. Maxwell: jailed for trafficking minors. Clients? None. FBI says no list. Flight logs? Ignored. The rich preyed on kids and walked. That’s not justice—it’s a cover-up. If you think this system serves the people, you’re not paying attention.

By my estimate, you’ve produced the equivalent of of four or five doctoral dissertations in under seven years. Some people can’t manage one in that time.

The New York Times has basically two consistent opinions that it sticks to no matter what:

1. Politicians should be working for the interests of the wealthy business class, not the people.
2. War is good.

An American president is threatening to send his secret police after American citizens, seems like a stop-the-presses kinda moment, but nope. It’s just boys being boys.

I think one of the biggest pitfalls of having so many older people in government is that they still try to govern like it's 1978. Like, they have to learn sooner or later that the "Give a little, get a little" strategy is dead, and like, your Republican colleagues literally just want you dead.

Luckily nothing bad has ever come from insisting members of a marginalised group wear a prominent label at all times to identify themselves.

We live in a different time from just five years ago. You can really be punished by the state for not having the right thoughts.

One large one isn't enough, we need pockets spread over a large area to overwhelm them this time. Make it impossible to control us without creating significant resources till they can't keep it up.
