Mom’s dad was a Pennsylvania state cop, and then owned and operated a beer distributor. Dad’s dad was a regional manager or executive or something for Caterpillar.

I’m gonna put myself out there and say it: Platner is not an example of how to hold yourself accountable, even for just passing flirtation with RW extremism (assuming that’s all it is, which may be a stretch).

Someone I trust recently recommended Dropsite News as a trustworthy source, and maybe it generally is, but two minutes after I read that rec I log on and see Grim leaning all the way into uncritical pro-Platnerism and vomiting on anyone who challenges him. Not promising.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

Kristi Noem should be impeached, indicted, convicted and jailed for her many crimes, including (but not limited to) corruption.

Sellner’s “remigration proposal’ would like to forcibly deport asylum seekers, migrants with residence or work permits & citizens who he deems are ‘anti-white’ such as anything other than white supremacists.

Republicans and the Right in general. I find myself wondering more and more often why there seems to be little or nothing on the Left that resembles the relentless rebranding campaigns in which the Right engages to resell old, unpopular, discredited stuff in new packaging.

Tror ikke han har det psykisk bra.

The Iraq War generated a drastic increase in jihadist terrorism, a serious migration crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean and a generalized increase in energy prices.

But which in reality, seen in perspective, produced the opposite effect, it unleashed the greatest wave of insecurity that our continent has suffered since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran:

Twenty-three years ago, another US administration dragged us into a war in the Middle East. A war that, in theory, it was said at the time, was being fought to eliminate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, bring democracy and ensure global security.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

En katastrofe er bare et spørsmål om tid.

Apologies for coming in hot, but

1. "We need more from the Democrats" is a hack take you could get from anyone who pays a shred of attention.

2. Platner has accountability red flags around nazism that are still not resolved.

«A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth»

I'm really careful not to be the kind of derad who acts like he owns the space and is the authority on how to take accountability and that kind of thing, but uhhh what are we doing here?

in retrospect most of the country is a vampire squid relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money

Read this and fuckin new my old pal Dave Reilly would be involved. @bigbash.bsky.social

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

Looking forward to getting into @letsgomathias.bsky.social’s new book.

The Right has succeeded in making anti-fascism into a slur. I’d like to see us fix that and make anti-fascism society’s resting pulse baseline.

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

Whiteness, populism and the racialisation of the working class in the United Kingdom and the United States The election of Donald Trump and the Brexit vote were widely hailed as examples of (white) working class revolts. This article examines the populist racialisation of the working class as white and ...

The racialisation of the working class has always been core to reactionary politics

E.g. mainstream elites were quick to blame/praise the white WC for both Trump & Brexit despite data providing a different picture

Melinda Cooper pierced this same issue in her book Counterrevolution, and now it's one of those things I jump on every time it's said or suggested.

Hvis politikken din er basert på et ønske om å fremskynde verdens undergang slik at Guds sønn skal komme tilbake til jorden, er det noe vi bør få avklart helt i starten av en samtale med deg.
