You know it would really help those of us critiquing neoliberalism if the term wasn't used as a bogeyman. "The Nintendo Switch 2 is $450 because of neoliberalism." "My bedtime is 10pm because of neoliberalism."

I met Billy West at an art store at the Monmouth Mall in NJ in the 90s. He was there to promote signed animation cells from Ren and Stimpy and told me to look out for a new episode called, "Eggyölkeo" that was coming soon.

The White House has already previewed their legal argument in the military deployment at the border context; they argue it's not a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act because the troops are not arresting the person, merely temporarily detaining them for local law enforcement to arrive.

The erasure of poor Black immigrants in these United States has ALWAYS been a thing. Poor Black immigrants are demonized within their immigrant communities (classism), within the broader Black community (xenophobia), and across the globe (anti-Blackness). #blacksky

So I just realized that this is the federal building by the West LA VA...which is by the 405. I was there yesterday, zero protests or action. The Marines are trying really hard to have as little to do with this clusterfuck as they can while still technically complying with orders.

its wrong to call GOP economic policy or its worldview "zero-sum"; the policy and worldview is explicitly negative-sum. another way to say this is that they need their pleasure to come from others' pain

There’s an overwhelming number of awful things happening. My gentle suggestion is to consider attending a protest tomorrow if you can. In addition to exercising your rights, it can be helpful to be in a sea of people who share your values. MAGA has exploited this, and now it’s our turn.

Once again, it seems to me that when a court finds the president is doing something wildly unconstitutional, it is dangerous and unhealthy that we default to “but let him keep doing it until multiple layers of review all agree.”

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Even if we weren't in the middle of a historic crisis there would be no reason for any Democrat to support this legislation. There are some democratic senators that desperately need a reality check. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history. The anti-Robin Hood.

Thinking again about the couple I spoke with on the weekend before the election who said they were volunteering for Trump because they didn’t want war in the Middle East and because the county had raised their property taxes.
