we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

It really is crazy to me how increasingly everything is just Rape to him

You know you’re a 90s kid if you remember when the U.S. government would at least make up a fake reason to attack the Middle East

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.

It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

lol at the tourists in dubai being like ‘what do you mean i took my vacation at The Neiman-Marcus That Kills You’

Wonder if the “Campus left” or Thomas Friedman was more correct about the outcomes of the Iraq or Afghan wars? 🤔

Perhaps we should base who we listen to on their previous track record.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Blowing things up, kidnapping and killing foreign leaders, is good because it's Doing. Considering the consequences of Doing would be Thinking, which is weak and woke

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

Palestinian liberation is now one of the most popular causes in the Democratic party and yet 75% of its members in Congress are, in some form, in the way of it

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

now that's the power of a union

one of the key insights of the Trump era is that libertarians don't actually exist
