There’s bipartisan support for ICE & the post-9/11 security state that created it. Once the government gains power, it doesn’t let go. That’s why today’s abuses—deportations for political speech, anti-BDS laws, attacks on immigrant rights—must be challenged now. Power unchallenged becomes permanent.

I have zero patience for “do climate work but just don’t call it that”. I am not talking in code about an existential threat bc a handful of Americans like profiting off oil and gas & have managed to brainwashed another handful of Americans. Don’t capitulate. They’ll take your funding anyway.

I think it’s important to remember fascism does not only win because of how people vote in a single election. Or even two. That is not the first and only cause. And if your institutions were resistant to fascism it would not succeed in consolidating power within a few months.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Logical end conclusion to the game of making all anti-antisemitism activism revolve around rebuking criticism of the State of Israel and its official legal and political statecraft rooted in Jewish supremacism is that 1/4th to 1/3rd of American Jews are permanently branded antisemitic for dissenting

…just as every other survey and experiment has found for decades. The “problem” with UBI is that greedy rich fucks want captive victims and UBI causes supplies of those to plummet.

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

There is no legitimate way to increase birthrates, and no legitimate reason to. The problem of lumpy generational cohorts can easily be solved through liberalizing immigration, and the only thing standing in the way of doing that is racism.

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

I mean, Obama won twice so? If Gore had found the spine to fight when his election was stolen, and Clinton and Harris had actually tried to earn votes, we'd be light years ahead of where we are.

Never forget: this is NOT Trump's agenda. This is the Republican Party's agenda, called for in Project 2025, yes, but basically unchanged for the past 25 years The GOP is built on climate denial, and they will destroy American science before they will accept the end of the fossil-energy economy.

The American people made a Faustian bargain—deporting their neighbors, condemning women to unnecessary deaths, killing tens of millions abroad—for a good economy. If they actually get one they will do this over and over again. They must learn that when the lowest among us suffer, we all do.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

Not a single time in this article glorifying the need for sprawl to address the US's affordable housing crisis is there a mention of the vast transportation costs of sprawling living patterns. Nor is there mention of the fact that sprawl is directly linked to disinvestment in urban cores.
