From 1850-1950 we saw robber barons and various titans of industry construct these massive, political fortresses to consolidate their power and safeguard their wealth and control, from then on we have dealt with their heirs who believe those fortresses were natural geological formations.

Just when I think they can't go lower. My cousin Army Major General Charles Calvin Rogers, who received the Medal of Honor for his service in Vietnam, has been removed from the Department of Defense's website. Just checked. "Page not found". He was the most senior Black soldier ever awarded.

I don't think Democrats should surrender on "DEI" for the same reason I don't think we should surrender on "trans sports". The actual demand in both cases is that the affected caste of people disappear from public society, and that is not something we should (or can!!) deliver upon.

Homelessness in California has been a political boon to conservatives so now that they're in power nationally, conservatives are doing everything they can to increase homelessness here.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

It's pretty embarrassing for the DNC that the GOPs entire strategy doesn't have to go any further than "we'll just do whatever we want because the dems are softer than baby shit and they will let us."

It’s really remarkable that being a rightwing pundit like Bretbug just means repeating easily disproven urban legends frequently and with enough self-assurance that they sound like fact until you can cite those urban legends as self-evident facts.

a liberal doing a boycott or a leftist doing a sit in or non violent occupation of a building all get called terrorists, a conservative shooting people or running them down with their car or blowing up a building is defined as let's not talk about that too much more of them might kill people

the biggest win the right-wing manosphere has gotten, imo, is convincing men that any solution to men’s problems has to be specific to men and, implicitly, somehow fuck over women (& trans & nonbinary people) in the process. it’s not enough for a solution to benefit everyone.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website, part of an effort across the Defense Department to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.

People also need to understand this isn’t federal money, this is DC money collected through DC taxes. They’re openly stealing from the city with the intent to immiserate the people living there because they resent the idea they should be allowed to govern themselves.

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them. We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.
