The time has come. This (first!) run of GAR pins is now live on wideawakes.army, with free* shipping. The GAR is not a defunct organization. After seeing all the massive No Kings protests around the country, it's clear: all of us, together, are a new Grand Army of the Republic.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

Relatedly, I still find it hilarious how the only stable monarchies in the world are the ones where the monarch has become, for all intents and purposes, The People's Pet. Like an over-groomed chihuahua for the public to cheer at and give b̶e̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶r̶u̶b̶s̶ bows to. Also really sad if you think abt it.

If an "animal cell" counts as an "animal," then frankly I'm not sure you can sustain the distinction between plant and animal at all Literally the only difference between them is a cell wall

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

One way to view the last 20 years of centrist midwit both-sides’ism is that it is a form of cognitive self censorship. By constantly farming for false equivalencies, an entire generation of thinkers, writers neutered themselves to fascism. They ontologically lack the capacity for critical thought.

You almost have to appreciate just how beautifully this illustrates the gerontocratic nature of American politics: the Ancient Umbrella is imbued with more experience simply because it existed longer.

there's been two proven ways to manage the forces of reaction in a society: (1) a conservative party that so thoroughly dominates that side of the political landscape that more reactionary political formations never achieve "critical mass"; or (2) Cultural Revolution

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.
