W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Truth. “There is a touch of the fascist in most adolescents; they admire the strong man who stands no nonsense; they have no objection to seeing the weak trampled underfoot; mercy in its more subtle forms is outside their understanding and has no meaning for them.” ― Robertson Davies, Tempest-Tost

scrolling for two minutes on here tonight and all the photos of Hegseth attached to the latest tales of corrupted security and general mayhem look like Jim Carey trying on different versions of a dumb guy trying to look serious but being too dumb to pull it off without just looking dumber

Fascism. Writ large. Americans should be flooding the street. But, bread and circuses first, right? Rule of law matters. Try playing a board game with small children. Yeah, not so fun when nobody follows the rules. I don't know if that country will ever be able to recover. Russia's long game is ace.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

This was a fascinating read, whether you are a legal phenotype or not. I would have loved to have been able to watch/listen to this live. This judge really has this lawyer in a pretty hot seat. The one comment the lawyer makes about truth/false. Literally LOL'ed. See if you can find it.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Witkoff was a fool for joining that chat from Moscow. But the entire charlatan national security team also chose to put him on that chat when they knew (or should have known) that he was in Moscow. A spy novel based on this level of cretinous behavior would be unbelievable.
