NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

“Does the US President’s social media post mean people should evacuate Tehran in a serious, bombs-are-imminent sort of way or a silly, he’ll forget about it in the morning sort of way?” is an insane, nightmarish situation to be in

using anti-war songs for the troops is a genuine US tradition so I can't really fault them on that one.

I know it's almost delusional to think this is a deliberate fuck you to Trump, but equally this is not the parade of an army that is even vaguely prepared to take on the role Trump wants it to take on.

I maintain that the internet substituted free products for market products (that weren't exact substitutes so were never counted in a deflator), so almost all of its growth was never counted in GDP. GDP will tell you that nearly every Internet company only contributes to the economy via its ads.

The real problem of American politics is that rank-and-file American liberals keep on getting preemptively demobilised and demoralised by their leaders, not that liberals suck. Orange Man Bad elementary teachers will save the Republic!

Other European countries grab all the limelight so it is overlooked how there are just like 90 million German-speakers bopping about with functional haircuts and binders containing the instruction manual for every appliance in their house. I truly love them so much.

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.
