Federal agents invaded even the offices of The Crisis and the National Association for the advancement of colored people and asked searching questions: " just what, after all, were our objects and activities?” I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, “We are seeking to have the constitution of the United states thoroughly and completely enforced.” It took some ingenuity, even for Southerners, to make treason out of that.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

It’s pronounced cyclist.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI. A picture of some AI girl standing on an AI landscape with an AI monster behind her. I'm gonna be so real: she looks about 14 By Tyler Cowen

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: "We hope and expect that Republicans will do the right thing"

Gun violence. I’m huge on that, and then the economy. One thing that drives me crazy about them is they say they’re the middle-class party. Can’t we just be for everybody? They’re the party for everybody. Do they need to be for the middle class? I’m middle class, but I also want to support every class, from poor people to the rich — I just want equality.

David Roediger's SINKING MIDDLE CLASS is a great book on the delusions of class mobility and "middle class ideology"

and helps explain this moron

These are the kind of people who basically want the iPhone system of governance who basically want political choices to be totally separated from material concerns, like picking an iPhone where the only consideration is color, everything underneath 'just works' regardless lol

Really interesting tidbits in this latest NYT focus group

for the first time in history the woke mob has un-cancelled somebody

Jimmy Kimmel Wasn’t the Biggest Corporate Media Capitulation to Trump This Week The mainstream media is up in arms about Trump’s attack on Jimmy Kimmel’s free speech rights — but barely made a peep about Mahmoud Khalil.

As with so many cases of the “Palestine exception” to free speech, Khalil’s detention was treated by much of the media as being implicitly justified by baseless accusations of antisemitism against him.

The real solution to H1-B dilemma, ban wage wage disparity between citizens and immigrants

Still waiting for an answer on this one

The internet should only consist of:

Hyper-specific forums
Youtube (old algorithm)
Wikipedia
Internet Archive
Steam (on thin ice)

The internet should not be allowed to go beyond post-2013 technology

The only ethical American programmers are indie game devs

Many liberals in response to this are saying that tech companies will flee America. But what good have they done for America exactly?

This is a joke

President Trump fights exploitation of immigrant workers

the H1-B thing seems unlikely to withstand a court challenge, but it's still deeply funny that it's basically a nuclear warhead aimed at businesses and executives who've been grandiosely and publicly kissing his fucking ass for nine months

the fed should print one quadrillion dollars

Extremely true

Klein is a lazy thinker. He is disingenuous, he likes money, he'd sell his mother for one more invitation to Aspen Ideas, but the root of it is he's a lazy thinker. And most people are lazy thinkers. He's rich because he gives form to what lazy thinkers are too lazy to articulate.

It's obviously very unfair to fire someone for this.

But I'm more interested in the judgment of Washington Post management that this makes sense on any level. This is such a tendentious interpretation of both their policy and her posts that it looks insane. Who would even sign their name to this?

Asking my doctor if it’s possible for me to survive on protein eggo waffles

Ezra Klein, watch this.
