I do hope the grand jury put the Latin word once employed by English grand juries in similar situations at the top of the charging document

They got Hell No! Billed

To summarize, the landscape of academia, just like the rest of the global political economy, is marked by a huge fracture engendered by colonialism that continues to operate as well as mutate. This book observes it and attempts to address it, but it is not in itself sufficient repair. We hope that it will act as a preliminary point d'étape in what remains an incomplete process of trying to produce a genuinely global form of knowledge that can help us navigate our shared, divided, burning world.

This was one of the bosses' explicit goals in getting Trump elected - crush the strong Biden era labor market in order to discipline workers and make them submit to abuse and exploitation. That, not burrito taxi prices, was the actual economic stakes of the 2024 election

I really feel like: Donald Trump is building a prison camp system on the scale of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao … would be a good and true headline to run every day. Advertisements across media. Speeches on the Senate. Everywhere.

Really impressive when you consider that they barely knew each other

Not soon enough

I mean, that much is obvious to anyone who watches the Timbers

Whoa. Next thing you’ll be telling us that the Pope is Catholic

Impressive when you consider that Trump barely knew Epstein

Super!

I’d wager a tidy sum on the over

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Alright PDX.

You know what to do.

MINNESOTA IS NOT OK. EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE TALKING ABOUT MINNESOTA… THEY ARE LITERALLY FEEDING FAMILIES THROUGH UNDERGROUND RAILROAD STYLE ROUTES THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND APPARENTLY HELICOPTERS AND DRONES FLY OVERHEAD CONSTANTLY EVEN THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.

But I was told in no uncertain terms that the GOP is a working class party now

That checks out

Odd how this keeps happening over at DHS/ICE/CBP…

Alex Thompson & @jaketapper.bsky.social should never be allowed to show their faces in polite society ever again

Well he’s not entirely wrong…

The representative doth protest too much methinks

I’m beginning to suspect that Republicans were not entirely sincere when they claimed to be the party of freedom of speech

The GOP is a working class party now

“What do you call that?”

“Making America Great Again!”
