We fought for our independence. We fought to end slavery. We fought against the rise of fascism in Europe. We fought for civil rights. I refuse to believe we have lost the will to fight for what is right and just.

I didn't know Josh Clover well, but we did get to do a panel together a couple years back. He said sth then that stuck with me, which is that we should resist analogies with the past to understand the present b/c we need to be open to what's radically new about the now...
This is the way.
Didn't a gang of these escape the National Zoo and chillax in Rock Creek Park a few years ago?
Not a blind assault. An intentional, strategic, researched assault.
It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift
Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.
I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article
No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American. We are way past political and ideological disagreements. What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights. Without it, we cease to be America.
Roses are red Daisies are plain
People learn nothing. Arendt wrote so clearly about the increasing targetting of people, starting with non-nationals, then dual nationals, then a succession of undesirable nationals. Nothing will protect you. Fascism requires an ever larger circle of enemies to blame for its own failings.

Popular in Germany After world war 1 Fertile ground for bad ideas Probably not merely racist coincidences nazis took notes On federal & social segregation From President Woodrow Wilson & perhaps aggrandised saluting From DW Griffith & pro-nazi political movement of that era? america first
a working semiotic hypothesis: nazis got their stiffarm salute Not from romans but from americans By way of "Birth of a Nation" kkk agitprop film Still taught as 'classic' for techniques Scene: klank-ass on horse & a stiffarmsalute Seen globally In 1913 Decades before nazis existed
While I personally don't characterize the entirety of american history as evil/nazi (for me that erases significant, formative & ongoing nonvictim contributions of unwhite americans to said history) I was also dismayed learning about the extent to which nazis found inspiration & sympathy here. 🤬
It was a little bit frightening.... HUOAUH!!!

How could a slavery scandal involving the President of the United States be worse than we thought? This extremely long, extremely detailed, and fully sourced PROOF report explains. This—not the tariff war—is the most important story in America right now. I hope you will consider checking it out.
Japanese ingenuity at work- well, they do have a point, and this is the kind of finding out we really shouldn't fuck around with. Capital surpluses generally balance trade deficits; many tariffied countries hold US debt, so t'aint so simple to just piss all over everyone, especially if you owe them
These goggles do nothing
because you asked nicely, here’s my latest work in progress song, “context clues”
Toni Morrison-- "Fascism talks ideology, but it is really just marketing—marketing for power. It is recognizable by its need to purge, by the strategies it uses to purge, and by its terror of truly democratic agendas.

Judge Gives Trump Administration 3 Days To Return Her From El Salvador Prison
“They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ~The Great Gatsby
This is more true today than ever before. You’re a parasitic asshole, Lindsey.
Telling a person with a brain wiring disability that they just need to try harder to face their challenges is like telling a person who can't walk that they just need to try harder to walk. It's not about trying harder. It's about trying DIFFERENTLY. And most disabled people need help to do that.
60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5
🤣🤣🤣
Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.
To the thousands of people who came out to show Trump we won't stay quiet: Thank you. Stay in the fight. www.theatlantic.com/photo/2025/0...
It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.
This is high art
This would be hard to explain if you had a time machine to visit 2010
I was told there would be winning.
Maybe most of us actually did. @electiontruth.bsky.social Of data anomalies and bitter red pills...
Have none of these idiots heard about the capital surplus that offsets this trade deficit? How much US debt does China hold? Will they keep holding it all now? Or are they looking to trash the bond markets too? USD's global reserve currency status ... RIP?
On another note... "Cultural Appropriation" Can be 'problematic' Fo sho But... I'll take Elvis & Rock & Roll Over Hitler & Nazis Every Godblessed Second of Eternity. So it ain't always bad for folks to learn, share & grow BETTER IDEAS... Especially if from diverse others. Just sayin...
Where do they get their drugs from?
If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
As someone who posts about elections, a response I often get is "Assuming there is another election". I get that concern. But to be clear, this is a future-election-assuming account. I don't give in to that kind of thinking. To do so is to give the GOP what they want: Premature surrender.
🤣
To get to the other side?
SHOW AND PROVE. SHOW AND TELL. TRUTH AND DARE.
I like Grok better than muskrat. Grok makes more sense. Grok understands and can explain why "white supremacy" is a tautological fallacy. Grok sticks to the facts. Good Grok.
Glad it wasnt close.
Incidentally, the Dems maybe forgot to calculate the Sucker Replacement Rate (SRR) in their campaign efforts. With a sucker born every minute, at least 2 million new suckers voted for the first time in '24... Just sayin... ...the not-so-great replacement theory...

So much winning & greatness, can't fkng stand it anymore.
We are far from over. Far from done. Far from finished. Yes i am an idealist. So were the Founders. So is any artist. So is any parent. I/We will fight. For our diversity For our Future For our children For our Earth By any means necessary. Some assembly required. Decorum not included.
Which "we the people" must now find new ways to win. IF WE CARE. Our relative greatness is now being turned against US By foreign foes that HATE our DIVERSE freedom & have fooled enough of the people enough of the time to go along usefully with our Demise Thinking it's somehow "Great Again"
Which has already done more damage to the USA than Pearl Harbor which icymi, put an end to that first "America First" Nazi-sympathizing movement which wanted US to stay out of WW2. Zombie chickens coming home to roost in a nest of cultivated ignorance? A War fought with ideas before arms:
Looking at facts, circumstances, histories, motives, investigations, evidence & who benefits: With eyes unblinded by Exceptionalism Creature comfort Consumerization Convenience Complacency Conformity Fear Fantasies of anarchy white privilege accelerationism Not civil war 2.0 proxy world war 3
Or that our vaunted intelligence community seems blind, deaf and dumb perhaps even complicit to the obvious yet mysteriously unmitigated catastrophe currently underway for America's global interests, sovereignty, influence & goodwill Paid for with our tax dollars, veterans' bodies & blood.
And while few may want to believe that: the GOP has been so keenly coopted & complicit in this attack our incredibly expensive military establishment seems too busy SIRYESSIRRING irrelevant DEI orders from a fraudulent administration to defend the Constitution they swore to protect
Although the enemy's cleverness in mounting this Coordinated Asymmetric Sociopolitical Assault May evade the Article 5 definition of "armed attack" on an Ally I doubt NATO can swallow that red pill. The sooner we see this awful truth as #CitizensUndefended The sooner we can truly fight for US
By Russia. The only beneficiary of this treasonous regime's actions to date. as this dawns on US Like the early light of a headlong trainwreck Call it what it is. We are at war with Russia. and we are losing. Rather than recoiling perhaps our erstwhile NATO allies should recall Article 5...
With the wanton, rapid trashing of US global alliances, economy, consumer morale, military, civil service, intelligence & diplomatic corps with staggering costs and no discernible benefits to the american people... Seems to me like a so far successful yet utterly unacknowledged attack on the USA
Since the world's afire anyway... apparently i'm now what counts for an actual hawk, as in war, not tuah. Given: The revealed extents of foreign manipulation & domestic fraud in the last election the subsequent subservience to putin's policies and priorities (tariffs for penguins but not putin?)
Magadeflation.

Has anyone pointed out that Witkoff legally incriminated himself when he sloughed off his role in Signalgate? "I didn't participate in the chat until I got back home and retrieved my personal phone" His personal phone. He revealed right there that he uses it for classified biz.
"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

W was so much smarterish. And also probably not a felon or compromised foreign asset.
To the extent the american people sit back & allow the illegal acts of this illegal administration to continue standing & delivering chaos, over the roiling graves of the Founders & the charring tatters of the Constitution, yes. A Sad betrayal of those who fought & died against such tyranny.
How much dumberer is this going to get?
I wouldn't paint the entire "white working class" as a monolith, or with this mean brush... at least some working class folks white or whatever have been paying into pension funds, college savings plans, etc. invested in this flaming stock market fiasco so maybe more than a fig or 2 involved. 🤷🏽♂️
