Thinking about fascism and art and how the first tries to oppress and the second tries to resist? GO SEE THIS EXHIBIT at the MIA. Seriously, go. It closes July 19. Modern Art and Politics in Germany 1910–1945: Masterworks from the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin new.artsmia.org/exhibition/m...

Buc-ee’s must be stopped. In our latest issue, Forrest Wilder explains why.

This fascist rally is being held in Fishers, IN where the median income is $130,000/yr and 66% of adults are college graduates. www.census.gov/quickfacts/f...

Highly recommend Chris Fleming refusing to do the line and then doing the line to perfection: youtube.com/shorts/eeDlI...

tl;dr: this whole thing smacks of gender

It's more than just Twitter, and Platner won the primary through energetic and competent campaigning, but yeah, he embodies a set of values and assumptions, dearly held by a lot of our political professionals, that turned out to be catastrophically wrong.

i think you can claim that you're a normal guy with normal politics or you can say one of your key national issues is that transgender women deserve to be raped if they get convicted of a crime but you can't claim both

From 1980. Spot on.

Scott’s insight was basically “Community colleges, HBCUs and local community orgs obviously do a lot of good and need the money. This may not be perfectly optimized, but this will make the world a better place and all of this isn’t about me.”

Jacob Frey is like the lower-resolution version of this guy.

i will always remember the great senator lindsey graham as the guy who threw a transparently phony tantrum about the grave injustice of a specific replacement-level lawyer not getting yet another promotion that he really really wanted because a lady publicly testified under oath that he was a rapist

Abolish ICE.

graham, this guy, it's so fucking funny. no one really cares. no one really mourns them. no one is grieving. meant nothing to anyone in any substantive sense. content in life, content in death

They told Reuters that they were suspending traffic stops, apparently without qualification. They told Fox News that they were suspending most, in most major cities, subject to exceptions. That's how they do.

De jure public office age limitations are discriminatory and therefore bad but as a general rule it is pretty crazy that like 40% of the Senate is literally dying on any given day

i strongly believe that the unpopular and widely-hated president should spend more time giving prime time speeches and thus forcing republicans in congress to defend his madness

This also applies in academia, where mediocre reactionaries get cushy sinecures and soft play areas to crank out irritable mental gestures.

Centrists talk about "deliverism" and "making government work," but socialists actually mean it.

"And what do we call this act?" "The woman-protectors!"

They aren't claiming the officer feared for his life, but "feared for public safety" when Guerrero attempted to flee. But he was not the target of the warrant. Which means they had no reason to think he was dangerous. Fleeing an immigration stop does not make you a threat to public safety.

This is Joan Sebastian Guerrero, the 26-year-old Colombian father and husband murdered by ICE fascists in broad daylight in front of his 3-year-old daughter. He was NOT the target of the ICE warrant. He was documented. He did everything right. ICE murdered him anyway. And yet… 1/2

🙃

As much as I dislike Ro Khanna, the rest of the delegation getting lapped by him is their problem

The best story ICE could make up, after 12 hours, is that ICE agents shot someone in the head because they believed the person they shot, who was not accused of any crime, was a different person also not accused of any crime, and so "public safety" required killing them on the spot.

What an odd woman.

The plan to put half of AI company's equity into a "sovereign wealth fund" is like a parody I would unfairly make up to criticize socialists enamored with sovereign wealth funds in 2016.

Every single trans woman could have told you this was coming and many, in fact, did.

you should support trans rights because they are human rights but also you can’t make some kinda deal with these people & concede the rights of an out group in exchange for something you think is more important because they will never reciprocate and will always ask for my rights to be stripped away

If this is accurate, even a "Trump says this, but evidence does not support it story" will be insufficient. This speech is part of an explicit threat against democracy, to overturn and control democratic outcomes. If we can't call this out clearly, we are lost.

still the best post on bsky

the thing about this Yglesias take is that it’s load-bearing for his career. if politics is about persuasion, someone like Yglesias serves no real purpose, and in fact it might be counterproductive for politicians to listen to the opinions of an abrasive nerd

This is so awesome.

To date, immigration officials have shot and killed 11 people, including two Minnesotans. Across the country, they operate with no respect for human life, the law, or consequences. There's no reforming this agency. Rip it apart.

When people say that there is a bias against conservatives in places like the Times that reflects their failure to understand that the Times (like many university spaces) lowers standards to represent right-wing views for purposes of intellectual diversity.

My first time having United Healthcare and all I can say is that in a society with any kind of half-functional regulatory state it would not even be legal to call this insurance.

Man,

Mammoths

remember the conservative plan for schools: 1) elite secular academies for the wealthy, 2) religious instruction to brainwash the middle class and 3) a prison-like rump public school system to discipline the lower classes into mindless servitude

No one has a lower opinion of men than their champions.

Unformed thought, but the internet has supplied young people of all orientations with lots of sex and gender content, everything from theory to porn, of wildly varying qaulity, which lets them latch onto definitions and identities before they ever experience much. This is a real mixed bag, I think.

They're continuing to kill people because this administration has told them that the people they're apprehending -- and those who defend them -- deserve violence, that no amount of violence is too much, and that no matter how egregious the abuse, they'll never be held accountable.
