It Wasn't Fascism All Along
Conservatism was a distinct ideology but it is dead and it is not coming back.
"'Liberals will always side with fascism over socialism, because facism protects capital' it is claimed. But both historically and today liberals never do this (conservatives often do). Nor, for that matter, do fascists always protect the interests of business elites"

All of us are in danger as long as the empire stands
As people across the U.S. left react to attacks on Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba, canned rhetoric and sectarianism remain the priority
What we have witnessed U.S.-based fascism accomplish in a very short time should lead us to reassess *everything.* All of us are in danger as long as the empire stands, argues @williamcson.bsky.social in his latest βAnother way out.β

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:
Voters as βVotorsβ
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"
And, it included a non-party in the caption.
These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Also this crap only ever applies one way. The idea that itβs anti-democratic or insulting to voters to criticize a president only holds when weβre talking about delicate Republican snowflakes. I heard this exactly never about attacks on Biden or Obama.

I'm 51, reasonably fit and in good health, and still every time I merge onto a freeway and feel a twinge of awareness that my reaction time and situational awareness aren't what they were 15 years ago, I marvel at how nobody thought about the long term when we made everything about cars

Anderson Cooperβs exit from 60 Minutes is another sign that Bari Weiss is ruining CBS News in service to an authoritarian regime that wants no accountability journalism. What a disgrace.

Was "washed up loser lawyer" one of the insults they pre-loaded in her little "burn book"?
Because I'm not sure it nails a Harvard law graduate who taught con law for 25 years before becoming a congressman who's now the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee -- and, um, likely its next chair?

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Is Milan Cortina's hottest prize a medal?
To some, itβs actually Tina and Milo, the two mascot stoats representing the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The stuffed animals are flying off the shelves and the best way to get one may be to win an Olympic medal. Talk about motivation π

Why unemployment trends among Black people are pointing to a Black recession
Unemployment among U.S. Black workers reached 8.2% in November, more than double the highest rate for white workers that month.
The number of unemployed Black workers reached a dangerous high in 2025. If other ethnic groups were posting #unemployment numbers like these, the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies said in a recent analysis, the whole nation would be seen as facing an economic crisis.

Great art is often political. And itβs quite the needle to thread when you create great political art on the biggest and most commercial stage on the planet.
The last two half time shows are just that. Especially compared to the boomer rock halftime shows of the last 20 years.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
