AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says weβre all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.
I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

Trump can preen and pout and posture all he likes, but his only reward will be eventual ignimony.
In the meantime, every well-deserved slap in his face should be treasured.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)
Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. Itβs become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

What the hell does Farage thinks heβs doing, going off to America *again* to maliciously slag off British teachers at some private Christian college, while offering to peddle their courses over here?
