In a nutshell: “Trump understands greed and he sniffs it out of his partners and public - and acts accordingly; feeding his own narcissism and appealing to the avarice of those around him. He is a man whose only labor is the exploitation of others…” noelcasler.substack.com/p/working-cl...

Labor Day greetings from the nation’s most despicable, despicable employer.
Great, important piece: www.meditationsinanemergency.com/we-were-made...
Less harmful to the US than we’d love to believe. But a real 🖕🏻 to our beloved Fuhrer. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/donald-tru...
Bad paint job on the hand there.
As long as it results in… uhh… peace in the nation (if possible). 😉 Certainly would be a boon to *our* nation.
Someone needs to tell him facts don’t resonate anymore.
A highly possible future: novum.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

Unfortunate, but, you know… www.commondreams.org/news/house-g...
Happy Labor Day!
On the other hand, being barbaric morons is our heritage. When we destroyed natives, civilizations and called them savages, it was projection. So of course this.
For the day. rudepundit.blogspot.com/2025/08/a-po...

Great piece to the extent that any of this is news to you: presswatchers.org/2025/08/we-h... Again: I refer to them as establishment media because they're propaganda outfits.

What are you talking about? I'm talking about the Republicans now and for the last four or five decades since they became dominant, not the Great Society Dems in the 1960s.
Answer: Easy. When we chose to be led by a death cult. www.dailykos.com/story/2025/8...

The unfortunate, regrettable reminder that neither the FBI nor Bolton were ever our allies. www.counterpunch.org/2025/08/27/r... That Trump's destroying the FBI is good up to the point of what's replacing it with.
TO BE CLEAR: The linked piece is a great piece like the mainstream won’t produce now when it matters. There can’t be any doubt that being on the spectrum at least helped make it possible. Otherwise, I doubt we’d see something like it.
Explain again why the people behind enshittification can be believed about the great future AI will bring let alone that they're the ones capable of creating anything good or of value (beyond a grift). boingboing.net/2025/08/30/a...
Even with the decline in drinking, this seems huge: boingboing.net/2025/08/30/j... Can't imagine why this specifically's happening. Is mystery...

Correct answer: So it’s there to be repaired if Democrats get the necessary power and will. www.wonkette.com/p/at-this-po...
Sabotaging public agencies so they can make a case to shut them down has been the Republicans’ thing for decades. This isn’t Trump, this is the same old story. And it includes a dearth of Democrats resisting. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/your-gover...

Only someone on the spectrum could nail this as well and clearly as @nathantankus.bsky.social (who is on the spectrum) does here: www.crisesnotes.com/powell-will-...
…the very influence they once hoped to preserve.” Only difference so far is that our Fuhrer is only acting like a dictator. He isn’t one. Yet.
…never triumphs on its own. It succeeds because others enable it—because of their ambition, because of their fear, or because they misjudge the dangers of small concessions. In the end, however, those who empower an autocrat often surrender not only their democracy but also…
…and compromises as those with power and influence tell themselves that yielding just a little ground will keep them safe or that finding common ground with a disrupter is more practical than standing against him. This is the enduring lesson of Weimar: extremism…
The road we’re on, where our leaders are taking us: www.foreignaffairs.com/germany/hitl... “Democracy rarely dies in a single moment. It is chipped away via abdication: rationalizations…

To be clear, none of that’s a defense of neoliberalism (unrestrained global capitalism) or of Trump.
…an overwhelmingly US-centered group of businesses and companies controlling nations — as per the post-WWII program. Nothing Donny’s doing changes that to any significant degree — not even his tariffs. Business as normal, now with blatant vulgarity.
I sussed decades ago that the post-WWII US was getting all the benefits of colonialism without iccupying and running colonies. More professionally discussed here: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/decline-an... I think the problem’s much overstated by Krugman. The American empire is…

All we had to do was to vote and vote responsibly. Too difficult for far too many of us. And that’s how we got here. This wasn’t forced on us. We could have rejected it. Instead, we embraced it. digbysblog.net/2025/08/28/t...

Inexplicably cracks me up. restofworld.org/2025/china-e...
“China is an engineering state, which brings a sledgehammer to problems both physical and social, in contrast with America’s lawyerly society…” Too kind. We're not a lawyerly society. We're a society of reactionary pigs and parasites. Can't make, can only extract. Backward facing.
The tech bot behind are counting on suckers which is to say the dumb, ignorant and fearful. Also business people who'd love to reduce the headcount.
To put it too simply, AI creates cud. It regurgitates. DeepSeek also shows the Silicon Valley -- Musk, Altman, et al version -- is a grift.

This is preferable to terrorizing black neighborhoods. But it also just confirms what we all knew: the whole operation is about projecting the image of safety for tourists, politicians, and white residents, not reducing crime. (Which terrorizing black neighborhoods also would not accomplish.)
The fuck?
The most destructive thing about Strategist Brain is that makes principles, morality, justice, and reality subservient to polling. But it's also self-fulfilling. If even Democrats aren't willing to sound the alarm about authoritarianism, why would less-informed people think it's happening?
Update: it got funny again
There entire leadership class is sociopathic.
Yes but how can we know if we support basic human dignity until we see some polling
One more time, shout out to the very serious people who suggested that RFK had some really good points about public health. No way to have predicted how things would turn out, except to look at his past record and everything he said about vaccines.
No better demonstration of this administration’s priorities.
Great piece from @radleybalko.bsky.social: radleybalko.substack.com/p/a-warning-...
Actually, the entire leadership class, private and public, that has actual power is, as a group, psychopathic. RFK Jr and Vought are the rule.
NOT GOOD!!! Also a partial explanation for why so many voters are so fucking stupid.
NOT GOOD!!!
