(I feel like Odin probably could have, but maybe he doesn’t talk to White Supremacists. Alas. Alack.)

Oh no. What are are the white supremacist-cum-pagans going to do now that their paganism is no longer useful to the Christian Nationalists?

Who could have foreseen this?

there's like a dozen videos of Trump being like "i love being a pedophile!" but i'm supposed to believe an email is gonna take him down?

It’s funny that Harvard has been a consistent target for reactionary campaigns, and not one has been dedicated to ousting Larry Summers, an openly political figure who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein; meanwhile, it’s a fine-toothed comb for *checks notes* Black women.

If this was a hoax, wouldn’t releasing the full Epstein files to the public exonerate Trump? If he had nothing to hide, why would Trump be working so hard to prevent its release?

I’m reading “Mediocre” and “Killing the Black Body” at the same time. Both are incredibly important books and I am enjoying both of them.

But I think I need to break them up with something light. Maybe Gillian Flynn or Stephen King (though the more antiracist reading I do the more he makes me 😬😬)

1. I didn't realize that "patriotism" was a prerequisite for the job of air traffic controller.

2. If "patriotism" means continuing to support a gov't that continually sh*ts on you, maybe it's not a good thing.

Listen to this BS from Duffy. (Whose aviation-world experience = zero.)

I know 1000 times as many controllers as he's ever met. OK, maybe only 100 times as many.

This is offensive beyond belief.

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

US senators will say anything. "Standing up to donald trump gave him more power." No it didn't. That isn't true.

NYT opinion: OPINION BINYAMIN APPELBAUM Mamdani Isn’t the Future of the Democrats. This Guy Is The picture is of PA Gov Josh Shapiro

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.

They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.

They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

9/ "So, there we were. A group of Black Americans confronted with all these dead white Americans… When they were alive, we couldn’t sit in the same room."

4/ One of those roles was burying the dead, a highly traumatic duty as many of the bodies were severely mutilated. The cemetery was constructed by the 960th Quartermaster Service Company, an all-Black unit of 260 men under the command of a White officer (as was usual).

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

it’s almost impressive how they’ve not just gutted the equality act, but actively perverted it so it does the opposite of what parliament intended

Suzanne is really losing it

Something is going on over there this morning.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Trump Administration Live Updates: Officials Demand States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamps

These bastards are demanding states claw back money they sent to SNAP recipients. They really want people to starve.

Never forget that a Democratic US Attorney’s decision to prosecute Aaron Swartz for downloading JSTOR PDFs contributed to his suicide but AI firms’ decision to download everything ever will be a justification for hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer bailouts and legal exemptions.

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!

The truth is not "more nuanced," the truth is that none of these people are narco terrorists.

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now

I wrote this a year ago. I wrote about Trump’s campaign of raci anxiety when he won the first time as did others. Look to see who is being platformed in this America that many of us predicted, and who has been disappeared. That will reveal a lot about this moment and what power wants us to believe.

OMG. The site is literally called the Dunning Kruger Times.

it’s very clear at this point that Republicans are being blamed for then shut down. doubling down to ruin Thanksgiving when you know you’re going to take the blame is unhinged politically.

On the same day as his ‘fat jab’ launch, Trump issued new reason to deny visas to foreigners: obesity The guidance describes obese foreigners as a ‘public charge’ and orders visa officers to guess how much they would claim in benefits

Cool cool, glad to know we're following in the footsteps of NZ's bizarrely terrible fat people immigration policies

“I don’t want to hear about the affordability.”

Lessons were clearly NOT learned on Tuesday.

Combating this lie is tiresome.

But it’s worth pointing out that RBOB gasoline today hit its highest level since September. ⛽️
