YouTube video by The Unusual Suspect Eminem - LOSE YOURSELF (Sung by 331 Movies!)

Not a huge fan, but Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” sung by 331 movies is pretty great.

Investigate Trump officials for putting our national security at risk! It's not only dangerous to the American public that this happened, but the fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to these current plans in real time shows that Pete Hegseth and the rest ...

Dean Chemerinsky and other #lawschool deans "speak as legal educators, responsible for training the next generation of lawyers, in condemning any government efforts to punish lawyers or their firms based on the identity of their clients or for their zealous lawful and ethical advocacy."

Reject Trump's attacks on judges! Trump is working every angle to squash dissent against his extreme agenda–whether it be student protestors, independent reporters, judges, or political opponents. His aim is to instill fear against al...

Just old.

After eighteen years commuting to the same office, I left that place for the last time today. Starting Monday- New Diggs!
No more ground floor view of the parking lot. Now I have a fourth floor view of a different parking lot!

JD Vance talking about housing as a supply issue while part of the Tariffs and Construction Worker Deportations admin is basically the whole NatCon shtick writ large: you accurately diagnose the problem, talk eloquently about it’s impacts, then enthusiastically commit yourself to being part of it.

Get ready for some trickle down economics, dummies.

14. (2/2) Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

14. Fraudulent Elections:
(1/2) Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting or political district boundaries, and manipulation of media.

13. (2/2) It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
(1/2) Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability.

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. People are often willing to overlook police abuses and forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with nearly unlimited power.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts:
Fascist nations promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and academics to be censored or arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed:
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

9. Corporate Power is Protected:
The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined:
Fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to policies or actions.

7. Obsession with National Security:
Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

6. Controlled Mass Media:
Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

5. Rampant Sexism:
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
