I have not seen one democrat yelling about how Trump is canceling your mom’s cancer treatment, the absolute easiest layup in the political sphere right now. You’re all either tragicomically bad at this or you really do just not give a shit, and I can’t decide which one it is to be quite honest.

Succinctly put “Trump wants to tear down the system in order to hurt people, but Democrats are more likely to defend the system than the people Trump is trying to hurt.”

In addition to ruthlessly stripping the power of newly elected Democrats, NC’s GOP legislature constrained the ability of cities to rezone. Law largely disallows cities from changing the permitted uses of land—making it much more difficult, eg, for cities to ban auto-oriented uses in transit areas.

The murder of Michael Stewart by the NYPD was the first protest I attended by myself with a friend. I was 12. I've never forgotten him. I believed that the police could be reformed then. Thankfully I grew up.

Seen this guy before and he does good and heartfelt protest music, this is good. as as an aside: when we have a robust underground trading cheap physical formats (cassettes, cd-rs, mixes) then no company can ban our stuff and we also forge bonds of solidarity and community ask me how I know

Trans rights activists -- including Chelsea Manning -- are staging a protest in a women's bathroom in the Cannon building (a House building) next to Speaker Johnson's office. "Trans rights are under attack! What do we do? Act up! Fight back!"

I feel very happy that Chase Strangio is making history as the first trans man to argue a SCOTUS case. But like why is he having to make his históric appearance? It’s not a good situation, and it’s freighted against him even though he has certain recent precedent seemingly in his favor.

In “society must be defended” Foucault argues that Hobbes renders war a discursive reality to obscure the violence of real conflict in ways that set the crucible for biopolitical security. We see this same dynamic on college campuses: heightened acrimony over securing speech while war carries on.

One of the points I stressed in Partisans is how vital non-conservative media were to laundering right-wing commentators’ views: James Kilpatrick on 60 Minutes, Pat Buchanan on CNN/PBS/MSNBC, Tucker Carlson on CNN/MSNBC, Glenn Beck on CNN. Right-wing media matter, but aren’t the whole story.
