Hey, maybe if the Nobel committee gives a prize to someone in Greenland they can use the medal to bribe Trump to back off. Doing so would avert a war, and retroactively justify giving the prize to the Greenlander in the first place.

The President of Texas A&M has said that censorship of their professor's syllabi is okay, because they're not censoring ALL of Plato. In that spirit, I share with you his email, which I have censored, but don't worry, it's okay because I didn't censor ALL of it.

"Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come." --George Orwell, "What is Fascism?"

The shooting of Renee Good is such a divisive issue. Half of Americans think ICE are racist bigots. Other half think ICE are evil fucks. Brothers, sisters, can't we come together, join hands and think of ICE as evil-racist-fuck-bigots?

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

But goddamn, do I WANT to believe this. I want to believe Gandhi actually said this, and I want to believe it's actually true. Maybe I even NEED to believe it. Maybe without this belief we wouldn't be able to find the strength to fight on.

And second I don't actually think it's true. Truth and love HAVEN'T always won. Yes, tyrants eventually fall, but only in the same way that heros and the virtuous do, too. So whomever said this, they're probably wrong.

The wild thing about this quote is that I'm skeptical of it twice over. First, I don't think Gandhi ever actually said this; it was in the movie, but I've never been able to hunt it down to a real source.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.” ― Mahatma Gandhi (allegedly)

I read through these (more in the comments) and hoped maybe this was some cheeky lefty publication that went looking for the most extremist nuts they could find to make the right look bad. Nope. It’s City Journal, published by the far right Manhattan Institute. Horrifying.

This looks like a case study right out of Michelle Alexander's "Medical Apartheid", a racist medical establishment sacrificing people of color for scientifically worthless information.

"A "relationship" is just that--the more or less stable juxtaposition of two separate and self-contained entities. Love, on the other hand, is an explosive fusion. The parts of a bomb do not stand in a mere 'relationship' to one another."--Robert Solomon

When Donald Trump dies and people are dancing in the streets and MAGA condemns their callousness, share Trump's response to Rob Reiner's death. Never let them, not for a moment, gloss over the absolute moral depravity of them man they championed and defended.

He was held civilly liable for sexual abuse and slandered his accuser. He’s been accused by roughly two dozen women of rape and sexual assault. He was best friends with a pedophile. He bragged about grabbing women by the pussy and said Ivanka had to beg him not date younger than her when she was 17.
