The one good thing I'll say about Dick Cheney is his deranged foreign policy provoked the Golden Age of Blogging, a period where antiwar voices were able to circumvent the mainstream media and change public opinion on key issues. talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/early...

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

Of course the right is having a hard time dealing with Nick Fuentes. Victor Frankenstein always struggles to control his Monster. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

A video I made about the facade of the respectable right, tying in William F. Buckley with the recent escapades of Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. youtu.be/jmZ-jOiB9ZQ

Thomas Pynchon's first novel V. (1963) features an AI named SHROUD who immediately starts talking about death and suicide. Gotta say Pynchon called that one!

Trump's scatological post is a window into his political agenda. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I talked to Yousef Munayyer about the precarious ceasefire and how Israel/Palestine will continue to reshape politics for years to come www.thenation.com/podcast/arch...

Of course JD Vance is whitewashing the writers of racist pro-Nazi posts. He sees them as the future of the GOP www.thenation.com/article/poli...

To celebrate our 25th anniversary, we asked 25 writers we admire—from @jeetheer.bsky.social to @anamariecox.bsky.social—to reflect on a moment from the past 25 years of digital media.

Had a terrific chat with @klion about ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and revolutionary strategy. www.thenation.com/podcast/arch...

The White House is openly complaining that Trump didn't win a Nobel Peace Prize. This is a churlish response since they Nobel's just endorsed Trump's rush to war against Venezuela www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Lessons from Portland. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

The GOP caved. The Dems caved. Wall Street caved. Big Law caved. The Ivy League universities caved. The DOJ caved. The FBI caved. The media caved. At America's moment of crisis, the only ones who stood strong against tyranny were the furries.

There is no army on earth that can defeat this.

This is probably the best time to be in organized crime since before the repeal of prohibition in 1933. I mean if you wanted to commit high level non-immigrant related crime, now is the time to go hog wild.

I make the case for the Avatar movies and James Cameron: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2gl...

A short video about Kamala Harris' memoir and her critique of Joe Biden. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8Dv...

Even John Yoo, author of the "torture memos," understands that it's wrong to give a president to blow up ships just on his say so. Shame congress can't understand that. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Catherine Lucille Moore (1911-1987) wrote remarkably prescient and emotionally rich science fiction in the from 1933 to 1948 that challenged gender norms. In this video, I look at the career of this neglected master. www.youtube.com/watch?v=59vr...

I had a great @kenklippenstein.bsky.social about recent political violence and shootings and how they defies the easy ideological categories applied to them: www.thenation.com/podcast/arch...

Trump's lies about Antifa are crucial to his ideological crackdown www.thenation.com/article/poli...

My review of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, with a look at the influence of Thomas Pynchon on the movie and a response to criticisms of the movie for historical anachronism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaWr...

1. Someday there will be a proper essay on the "Two Tom Problem" -- Thomas Pynchon's influence Paul Thomas Anderson. Here are a few notes that might spark thought. ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is the third time PTA has done a Pynchonesque movie & there might be more on the way. TP + A(ction) = PTA

I'd highly recommend seeing ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER just on it's merit, it's a terrific roller coaster ride of a movie with a car chase that already feels like an all time classic. But it is also the most perfectly timed movie I've ever seen, feeling like it's ripped straight from the headlines.

What have I done????

Kamala Harris, perhaps inadvertently, has written a damning indictment of Joe Biden -- and also the Democratic Party establishment. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

this is excellent www.thenation.com/article/cult...

For his friends, Donald Trump provides protection from the law; for his enemies, punishment. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

If you want to understand how the attacks on Ivies illustrates a close coordination between trumpland, trumpists inside notionally liberal institutions, and purported free thinkers working as state press, listen to @jeetheer.bsky.social interview @davidklion.bsky.social overcast.fm/+AA5oOCynyqs

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Trump got Kimmel suspended but let's be had crucial accomplices: the people David Letterman calls "corporate weasels" www.thenation.com/article/soci...

"There can be no real defeat of the far right until liberals learn what the right already understands all too well: Politics is telling the difference between a friend and a foe." www.thenation.com/article/cult...

I had a lovely time talking to @TaylorLorenz about her block buster reporting on Dem influencers paid by dark money, a practise that is both ethically dubious and politically ineffectual. www.thenation.com/podcast/soci...

Jeet Heer is so good on everything, but especially on the elite liberal obsession with conservatism and the rise of You Know Who

1. We all know William F. Buckley -- the pundit, the Firing Line host, the spy novelist, the founder of National Review, the guy who threatened on national TV to punch Gore Vidal in the goddamn face. But did you also know that in spare time Buckley was a matchmaker?
