i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Both Elon Musk and Christian nationalists call empathy "toxic," "suicidal," and even "satanic." But what they're really worried about is that empathy is feminine. And in MAGA, a woman is the worst thing a person can be. An analysis. www.salon.com/2025/04/11/m...

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for punishment in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

This sounded even more ridiculous in the original North Korean.

Welp, got an answer to this question: Apparently the answer is no tariffs are being collected. Trump broke the system www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/c...

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost. I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

None of this dynamic changes unless/until a DoJ lawyer is thrown in jail for contempt. I guarantee their memories and the info they provide will improve dramatically. But The Norms, you see.

So some people are plainclothes ICE agents interrogating small children, other people are random sociopaths impersonating ICE agents but everyone is supposed to know the difference, surely this won’t get even worse

A small group of Palestinian citizens of Israel protest the Gaza genocide in The Only Democracy In The Middle East today and it goes as one would expect

I keep running into D stans here that are still trying to justify genocide. They think anyone who expresses disgust about genocide is just playing politics or something. Truly weird, unsettling, and disqualifying for a Party to be this feckless.

One of the sources of rot running through our political, intellectual, and media institutions is the total triumph of the idea that democracy means outsourcing your morality and point of view to a fuzzily incoherent view of what's popular. Total rejection of the idea of morality as personal virtue.

Back in the 90s and aughts, a whole bunch of new centrist Dems took over leadership of the party. As we are now finding out, “centrist Dem” is just a euphemism for “moderate republican.” Anyway, Elissa Slotkin is a moderate republican.

The best time to start hating Substack was the day they launched their subsidy for fascists. The second best time is today. We welcome everyone, you’re never late.

Moderate republicans took over the Democratic Party in the aughts. It shows in so, so many ways.
