dj ephixa and some other Canadian fellas made an EDM label named Monstercat, and I met one of the signed artists, Protostar, my sophomore year in college, in a Halo Online lobby, the illegal PC version of halo 3's multplayer

One of my favorite longitudinal studies out of economic history was mapping the genealogical records of white civilians with pre and post-Civil War migrations and showing how each wave of white southern migration resulted in a significant rightward shift in the elections of the destination county.

This is literally what the Confederacy did within the United States. First with the defeat of reconstruction, then Jim Crow, and now with what is happening now. The failure to annihilate the Confederacy’s leadership and ideological foot soldiers, roots throughout the south allowed them to propagate.

What’s also insane is how the courts have spent years pretending this man is putting forth novel, considered theories of constitutional authority when, as demonstrated here, he is simply making decrees as if the Constitution didn’t exist and waiting for servile judges to validate them

"The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state." —William J. Brennan Jr., joined by White, Blackmun, Stevens, & Marshall, Houston v. Hill, 1987

They were probably going to cut anyway lmao

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks: - Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela - ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota - Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally - Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

I do not think anybody is prepared for how quickly and how thoroughly things we've taken for granted our whole lives could change

genuinely wish i could personally spit on any democratic senator that votes to do either of these things

this is the part of Goodfellas where all the color has drained and ray liotta's nose starts to get really, really runny

And boy, am I fuckin light headed

I would not be surprised if you searched his phone and found him referring to real life human beings by their haplo groups

There was approximately two seconds of veneration at gunpoint for Charlie Kirk from the MAGAs, which provoked a backlash so profound that I’m pretty sure Kirk’s visage will still be being used in AI slop twerking and fetish memes 20+ years from now

on a ratio basis he is is probably thought of lower than adolf hitler rn lmfao

i think powell's response here is a demonstration of the folly of the idea that democratic accountability requires presidential control. what if the president is not acting in the public interest? you want independent agencies to be able to push back and pursue their *congressional mandate*

does anyone know where the love of god goes when the waves turns the minutes to hours

Can we maybe stop appointing his judges and funding his government now

RT if you STAND with WASP FINANCE CAPITAL against the PRUSSIAN MENACE in the White House!

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

JPOW literally said

jerome powell literally helped prove keynesianism could still work in the 21st century if we just stopped being miserly fucks, and MRNA vaccines are probably going to cure a significant amount of cancers and he won't take credit for any of that because he is so goddamned and stupid

You know I really was just thinking about how tired I was of earning and saving money in the global reserve currency

Holy fucking shit

I can't watch a goddamn football game without the Federal Reserve declaring war on the President?

there are *so* many people who cower before trump's threats, and jerome fucking powell is out here on youtube going, "all of this is corrupt horseshit, they're doing it because i won't bail them out, they're all liars"

@diplomatofnight.com ur so right Pete Seeger is soooooooo fuckin good

doing war crimes and shattering the NATO consensus because of the fucking mercator projection

[fugitive slave crisis intensifies]

it's a monthly subscription aint it? still january for all i know

It's not an excuse, but it is worth remembering that mayors in most cities very much do not have control over their police departments if the mayor doesn't like something the cops want to do, a phenomenon that would be a red alert civ-mil alarm with the military but something we all accept w/cops

I think it’s fair to say that there is a low-intensity civil conflict in Minnesota right now.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

I really deeply wish certain people could get it through their heads that chanting explicit support of hamas outside a jewish event made it completely impossible for their political allies to condemn what was said in return and the land sales without both-sidesing the issue and making it pointless

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.

"more training will solve this" is easily debunked by the fact that the killer was a trainer at ICE. It's a barrel of bad apples that exists to produce bad apples and the solution is you woodchip the barrel and compost the apples and try something else. www.wired.com/story/ice-ag...

if you’re going out to protest this weekend leave you god damn phones at home, the feds have massively powerful ways to scoop up your location and follow it far and wide from there. and if you do bring your god damn phone don’t post god damn pictures of your comrades faces on god damn social!!!

making the alt text for this has never made me feel more like a small brained simpleton for finding this funny, I'm so sorry to anyone who my description fails to reach with the joke

chat is this true?

APD was prepared to bury the case before Perry's posts came to light. The outcry forced prosecutor's to take a deeper look at the case and the messages they found on his phone via forensics were truly horrifying. Unfortunately Greg Abbott pardoned Perry because he and the GOP support this.

In all seriousness, when Daniel Perry shot and killed Garret Foster in Austin in 2020, we figured out who Perry was and we were watching his social media posts get deleted in real time WHILE he was allegedly in APD's custody. Fortunately we archived them in the Wayback Machine before he did it.

I forgot this is literally what happened with bolsonaro, he did his own Jan 6th and has since been put into hospital-prison-hospital

What happens in the empire always comes home, and that’s true for equipment also

Hannity has a Fox reporter in Minneapolis talk to a random protester walking through the city who goes on to spit bars for 2 minutes

This crap is worse than anything Tokyo Rose was accused of.
