'luigi mangione being celebrated as a hero will lead to a valorization of vigilante violence' is one of those things that only sounds reasonable if you start paying attention to American vigilantism at the exact moment it targets someone with wealth and influence

This site includes the "clear guidance" that Trump's EO 14168 mandated should be produced within 30 days to expand on the definition of sex in that order. This is what the policies of the US Government will be based on. Let's take a walk through...

What keeps me up at night is this: Whether we have free elections in 2026 and 2028 or removal by force becomes necessary, there is just no opposition party ready to step in that can simultaneously inspire Americans, defeat Republicans, restore effective governance and hold fascists accountable.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

The sad reality of the "Is this fascist move a distraction?" question is that yes, they are ALL distractions. Right up to the point they decide one is real, because their only policy position is to exercise power 😕

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

Depression is a protective urge; a chemical drive to return you to the safety of your innermost den to wait for a storm to pass, a bone to knit, a wound to heal. Civilization provides eternal psychic wounds from which there is no relief to be found in retreat, a storm which will never blow away.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

One of the things people fail to grasp about the "Punk Bar" analogy is that for Punks (and metalheads, and rivetheads, and...) the Nazis that you have to throw out are neither hypothetical nor rare. The average person doesn't realize that the Nazis are an extant existential threat.

Unlike Nate Silver, I am a trained historian and, let me tell you, if I was reading any historical work that tried seriously to thematise IQ as an explainer, the last thing I would think of the author was that they were "competent."

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.
