The weltgeist giving yet another Irish Catholic Democrat with a really problematic record and views the mantle of heroship:

This is like watching a creaky weathervane suddenly swivel 180 degrees with micrometer precision and lock into place with servos and braces. The ultimate opportunist has realized what we've all been saying: the first person to go Churchhill 1940 against Trump's blitz is going to be unstoppable.

My hopefully final contribution to flag discourse

Tired: Pritzker Khan Wired: Jay Robert Pritzkenheimer Yes, the 'B' in 'JB' is Bob, short for Robert. Yes, we will nuke the reactionaries.

Do you guys remember when 'Cuomosexual' was a thing Anyway, I'm #ProudlyCuomophobic

Real utilitarians believe the US should be run by a USAID-PEPFAR junta that governs on behalf of the American people to the minimum extent necessary to maintain public buy-in for a regime whose primary purpose is the alleviation of global poverty and the eradication of all disease.

If you don't like multicultural pluralism, GO BACK TO THE OLD WORLD!!! This is AMERICA. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!!!

Sorry, triangulation bros, but I would sacrifice my support for popular democracy before sacrificing my support for immigrant rights. An electorate which would strip people of rights does not deserve to have their perspectives considered on that issue.

Sorry, but calling for a national divorce is quitter talk. We will not abandon our brothers and sisters in the red states. We will not give up our national influence in order to escape Republican governance. We are in this to subjugate the reactionaries and secure absolute victory nationwide.

I'm going back to being a little less contemptuous of Gavin Newsom now that he's channelling the "ready to be the Patrick Bateman to the Republican's Paul Allen" vibes again

There will come a time when those who were in the zone of action will be judged for what they did in this moment. Judgement won't come from above, but from us, on this earth, in this life. And for the ICE kidnappers who wage war against our Republic, justice will be swift, severe and inflexible.

Glory belongs to the heroes of America; the heroes with the moral and physical courage to stand against those un-American would-be gravediggers of liberty: the bloodhounds in the skins of men that call themselves ICE.

"The Weimar constitution essentially exists only on paper. In such an historical moment the party has one essential task: to recognize reality." — Carlo Mierendorff

The 'Joe Rogan of the left' discourse seems to me like a bit of a detour from the original point which was made: that liberals need to manufacture narratives and steer social media discourse instead of being steered by it. The people who focused on specific individuals were missing the point.

This administration and its allies are the enemy, of you personally and humanity in general. They belong to a tradition that is in direct opposition to the most radical and most humane elements of our national spirit. It is good to hate them and you should do so.

Let's not have status quo bias here: if you're against letting in immigrants on the basis that they might be bigoted, then you should also be okay with kicking out native-born Americans that are bigoted. Either both are okay, or neither are okay. Personally I favour neither being okay.

The Western Allies should have turned their forces around in 1945 and taken out Franco as well. Salazar too, while they're at it. Their militaries were basically nothing and half the population of Spain would've greeted them as liberators. Would have saved about 30 years of everyone's time.

Liberals will say "abolish ICE", and then when Trump actually starts working to do it by dramatically increasing greenhouse gas emissions, they complain. Which is it, libs?

Every time people mention Richard Hanania, I think back to this:

The idea that societies can collapse from 'decadence' was something I used to dismiss as just tradcon nonsense, and in the way they mean, it certainly is. But I think they had a point, just not as they intended: rather than LGBT rights, it is MAGA that arises from decadence and moral decline.

It's a strong statement, and it has the right spirit. But personally, I think justice for what he's done is going to demand a bit more than just the contempt of the public. Quite a lot more, in fact. It is the duty of all upstanding Americans to ensure that Elon Musk dies in prison. His goons too.

confronting my techno-optimist kid self about how that whole "internet uniting humanity" thing went

People made fun of this tweet years ago, and fair enough, since the poster is stupid and evil. But just because it's ironic and would break into infighting immediately after victory, doesn't mean it's not a threat. I think we forgot that, in our mockery. It's real, and we must adapt to fight it.
