This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

It's sort of hard for me to see how we achieve real justice in this country without something that has almost never happened in human history, namely widespread wealth seizure/land reform. Higher taxes are not going to cut it.

I have been on the losing side (not the wrong side, to be clear) of every major protest movement since 2003, and while I don't regret any of that, it has made me rethink where I want to spend my energy.

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

Disappointing stuff from Bregman, who was better, but I would really like some concrete examples of what people like this think that leftists should be doing differently

There are a lot of things that are bad but I gotta agree with the Helldude here -- the worst part is that it's not for anything. These guys have everything they could ever want except love and respect and so now we have to suffer.

been struggling with the idea that all of human history, all of the destruction, the suffering, the brutality, the razing, the pillaging, the salting of the beautiful fields of this planet has all led up to this. guys burning down everything built over that ruin just so they can do a coy nazi salute

Joyce is correct, though I recommend that people look into the origin of the ACLU's defense of Nazi speech -- the legal origins start with a Communist from right here in Portland, Dirk De Jonge

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

if they think that by privatizing everything public i love and use they'll get me to spend money with those private companies instead then they don't know me at all. i once drove to another state to buy public cheese. all they'll do is make me more annoying

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Next newsletter on wheresyoured.at I believe, outside of ChatGPT, that the combined generative AI industry is smaller than Pokémon Go at its peak, with apps like Gemini and Copilot having less than 20 million monthly active users. These unprofitable, unsustainable apps are also deeply unpopular.
