whatever you do, do not call this power consolidation. they are simply destroying all of america’s sources of soft power and outside sources of opposition along with the ability for the opposition to ideologically reproduce itself.

Your periodic reminder that public and media perceptions of crime have almost nothing to do with the actual incidence of crime or the likelihood of being a crime victim, but rather are almost entirely driven by the existence of visible homeless people.

nobody's more scared than segregationists. their opposition to integration is rooted not just in hate but in the absurd & irrational fear they grow from it and which they actively cultivate. they're petrified at all times of totally normal things, ideologically. gotta be a real assy way to live imo

If this reporter goads Trump into destroying the American consumer market and nosediving his popularity (and therefore the viability of the American fascist project) they may be one of the greatest heroes in world history.

If I'm reading this right, he's telling foreign governments they can't apply their speech laws to Americans within their borders. Which is so arrogant and bullying that I'm having trouble processing it.

I am struggling as to how this works in practice or principle. Do only Americans have such rights? Do other countries have their own birthrights? Or is this (as I suspect) a sort of Melian dialogue where we're telling everybody else "We strong do what we can and you weak suffer what you must."
