Trump said he loves the poorly educated and, soon, he'll have many many more of them to love.

Yes to this. "We have spent a lot of time this weekend talking about the purpose of literature. We have spent a lot of time talking about how important it is for literature to confer hope onto the reader. But hope is a hammer. It is valuable only if you do something with it."

The only, and I mean only, thing I like about Trump is how regularly he undercuts his lickspittle underlings’ public statements of policy, forcing them to do rhetorical cartwheels until his whims change again.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Summary of the Trump admin's comms: Iran may have nuclear weapons but our intelligence shows they do not but they probably do but we have the best intelligence in the world but our intelligence is probably wrong and we're not going to ask why our intelligence is wrong but it probably is.

Let me put it this way - there is no more bipartisanship. There is no more “norms and traditions”. This war is illegal, and every Republican is complicit not only in an illegal war but also in the degradation of our democracy and the powers of congress. www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/forei...

We’re actually just destined to relive the “war on terror” in various manifestations until this country collapses because US foreign policy is too stupid and cynical now to do anything else.

This should be repeated and remembered: I saw some folks decrying Ghost or Buttondown for being too expensive but... in actuality Substack's price is artificially low. Get out, now, before they keep you from leaving and come for the bill.

I hate the way Iran treats its women. But a country that kept a brain dead woman alive to force her to give birth, and forced her family to pay for it all against their wishes, hardly has a leg to stand on. We treat women like beasts of burden and take away their agency right here. So…🤷🏽‍♀️

If you think trans activists went too far and Self ID was a mistake... If you think we should go back to the old days and it should be way harder for people to transition... ....you're saying I never should have transitioned. That I should have withered in the closet.

the takeaway from this is that, for all practical purposes, stephen miller is the acting president of the united states. trump is just play-acting as the boss, as he did on the Apprentice. (gift link) www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Our political scale has been propagandized by capitalism to make basic empathy a radical political ideology. But it's not. The entire barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long. That's how we got here: being conditioned not to care about others.

BREAKING: We just sued the Department of Homeland Security over their use of excessive force against protesters, reporters and legal observers. Exercising our rights to free speech should never be met with retaliatory attacks by federal agents. We’ll see you in court, DHS.
