If this is true, it’s apocalyptic for the GOP across the board.

About to go to bed so I won’t find out till morning exactly how many points one can lose when two weeks of murdered U.S. citizens is the main piece of news

Obama in fact owes us the world. He is an extremely powerful person, and we all owe a duty to use our power in support of democracy, freedom, and dignity.

"We are going to create a database, a list, we're going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods know exactly who to send those pies and fruit baskets to. We are going to give these people bragging rights like you wouldn't believe. These guys aren't gonna need to buy a drink for a week."

God, whose work I much admire and love, nevertheless sometimes comes in for harsh criticism on plagiarism grounds.

The great gift and problem of the Trump regime is that there will always be another off ramp because they’re so bad

Obviously a ton of downsides to the Events but the next crop of Dem politicians is going to be elected on “Were you on the streets?” So one day we will have politicians this cool

Between November ‘20 and January ‘21, probably? Maybe during the Floyd protests but that was more smoke than heat.

The post I quoted about Fetterman defending ICE appears to have been misinfo, please disregard

We've never needed ICE but lots of people needed Renee and Alex.

Glory to the martyrs who defend the Republic

Possession of a firearm is not justification for extrajudicial execution

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

You did not bear the shame. You resisted. You bestowed the eternally vigilant symbol of change by sacrificing your impassioned lives for freedom, justice and honour. — The German Resistance Memorial in Berlin

Nobody on my feed has reposted The Video so thanks for that fam

Real Dirk Willems hours in Minnesota it would seem

Thankful for your work NPL goat!

Reading Nelson Mandela talk about being in prison and ignoring and defying the prison guards because he was arguing with another prisoner about whether or not there had ever been tigers in Africa. Every great man of history? I know, in the depths of my soul, they were all born posters now.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

I will not be carrying my papers. Fuck you. Make me.

Fiber clearly a class based dietary feature because when I went from “Poor, spend minimal amounts on food” to “American Middle class (Rich), buying healthy food I like” I went from having like 12 grams of fiber to having like 50-100 grams per day.

Every distinction, created to benefit and protect some cordon of society by punishing and controlling inevitably becomes a way of controlling and humiliating even the beneficiaries.

Will Stancil following ICE agents around Minneapolis with his Honda Civic:

“In politics, one can never underestimate how little people know about a situation.” -Nelson Mandela

Will Stancil is your FRIEND He fights for FREEDOM

The Churches of Christ start with the Church and are working on it.

“A slogan is a vital link between the organization and the masses it seeks to lead. It should synthesize a particular grievance into a succinct and pithy phrase, while mobilizing the people to combat it.” -Nelson Mandela

It’s not clear to anyone what ebenezar Scrooge actually does

Wasting my time in the emergency room for them to tell me the same thing my colleagues told me is my favorite thing to do at the behest of my corporate overlords

You ever see a, “So sad this person died” photo and say to yourself that you need to take some headshots so yours won’t be that bad?

I think there was actually a lot of Burkean wisdom in taboos like, “Getting a thrill out of violence is bad” and “Adulterers are untrustworthy” and we should maybe bring it back.

Nations should be proud of immigrants the way religions are proud of converts - A sign of our greatness and desirability!

“For when those outside the Church do not rage, and there seems to be, and indeed is, a tranquillity which brings great consolation, especially to the weak, there is even then no lack within the Church of those who by their abandoned morals torture the hearts of those who live piously.” -City of God

They get off to violating the consent of others. Not more complicated than that.

No child should be without a country. No one born here is a stranger. I love this country and all its sons and daughters. I will not have them orphaned and abandoned. I will not betray the cause of liberty and humanity for an innovation of ancestral privilege.

This really hurts to read. I hate that we live in a world where this set of words can make it into public. Yet I feel there is a service in this being in a public paper. You have to understand the scope of the sickness before you can set about to the cure.

When Woke Confucius comes, she will doubtless say, “Generous spirits make all discourse possible, but do not give a reason where no good one exists”

They want to sleep with her. So her rejection is responded to with cruelty designed to make her into their victim. It’s vicious in the classic sense, they have become victims of their own vices. Dominance and misogyny, Rape-as-Ideology, compels them to this folly.

Not to be too Thomist or whatever but it is funny whenever people loudly mock the idea that the rock falls because it likes the earth. The telos of matter is to congregate. It prefers to be together, even though it is mostly not together. The rock likes the earth! This is what Aristotle said.

I want to write a magisterial work in favor of the rootless cosmopolitan and the managerial class. But whenever I approach this I have a strange dream wherein I defeat conservatives through argumentation while symbolically losing my honor? God or Freud really having a field day with me on that one.

When I write the absolute megahit where a guy is isekai’d to an ersatz post-bellum US and has to explain that deflationary monetary policy will destroy the egalitarian gains of the war it will fix this.

People loving Julius Caesar and hating Brutus feels like foreshadowing

Kinda crazy that in his magisterial work on Salvation History, the City of God, St. Augustine granted three paragraphs to Moses and a full book to the first three days of creation.

Really wild to remember that there really are people out there opposed to taxing the rich on a fairness basis! People big mad about the death tax. Absolutely sincere.

I obviously agree with this, but I think it’s hard to stomach for many in a society that itself has no principles. It’s hard to sell the (obviously true) principle that it is better to suffer than to do wrong when we cannot even regulate the sale of chocolate on that basis.
