if you've ever taken an IQ test, you know how absurd the very idea of it is. worse, your score can always cut against you just as easily as in your favor. just compare Trump's or Musk's public behavior with their scores. whatever they are, it's embarrassing either way!

80 years ago this May, the Nazi Germany lost WWII to the USSR and US. the USSR collapsed, and Russia and the US have both opted for the fascism they defeated. Germany is en route back to fascism. what are the odds the anniversary will even be acknowledged by the "victors"?

after the 2008 crisis, Occupy Wall Street took over public spaces in lieu of the spaces that needed to be occupied. it did not work. today, no one is occupying the spaces that can and need to be. when the fascists are trying to kick you out, the correct response is to refuse to leave.

first we were told to pretend that people replicating fascist talking points are not fascists, and now we're being told that a Nazi salute is merely a gesture that in every relevant way "resembles" a Nazi salute.

it's great that GOP congress members are getting yelled at by their constituents, but when push comes to shove, will those shouting vote for a Democrat?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Our white supremacist rapist president had his unqualified, white supremacist, drunken rapist Defense secretary fire generals and attorneys on a Friday evening for the crimes of not being white and/or not being loyalist "yes" men willing to sign off on crimes.
