it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man in the history of humanity is, objectively speaking, just a straight up Nazi also the next democratic administration needs to throw him in prison

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.

JIMMY PAGE: egads! my riff is ruined! but what if i learn delta blues songs and disguise it as my own? ROBERT PLANT: sounds good to me. hey but what if we make the songs about elves instead of murder ballads JIMMY PAGE: can we have a couple songs about elf pussy ROBERT PLANT: I don't see why not

"You enslave and rape and murder fellow humans, and therefore you are a bastard, a rapist, a monster, and generally a fucking terrible person on a first-class coach for Hell" "all of the accusations are true but the fact you're saying them out loud publicly means i get to shoot you now"

this genuinely is the keystone to all of it; reading up on antebellum Southern ideas of 'chivalry' and how they were so obsessed with it that the slightest insult provoked rage-induced paroxysms of violence--with *chattel slavery* at the core of their identity--is a real "oh it's just...that, again"

Miami in the 2020s seems like a city made entirely out of people I'd have fun suing

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

(put another way, weird to say, as Rubio does, that Europe produced “the genius…of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones,” who were self-consciously playing music rooted in the traditions of the African diaspora.)

(worth saying here that this formulation of “western civilization” curiously isolates Europe from the Middle East and Africa, as if you can understand European “civilization” outside the context of its interactions with and integration into those worlds)

“western civilization” in this construction should be juxtaposed *against* the american tradition.

it has more in common, in fact, with with the antebellum slaveholder preoccupation with (its vision of) medieval europe, a romantic notion of Anglo supremacy that you can see articulated, in similar form, during the early days of american imperialism at the turn of the 20th century.

rubio’s invocation of “western civilization” — defined here as racial and religious chauvinism, if not outright supremacy — is a rejection of the more egalitarian and universalistic notions that came out of america’s two revolutions.

four score and seven years later, lincoln would defend the american experiment in similar terms, rooting the the war effort in a defense of freedom and equality — those were the things that made american civilization distinctive in his telling.

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”

The thing about Casablanca being the greatest film of all time is people don't believe you and then they watch it

Check this shit out motherfucker [I slide one foot out from under me and fall on my ass, the camera matrix-style swings 180 degrees making clear what kind of move I was trying to do]

the more you learn about the antebellum south the more you transform into this every plantation owner should have been put to death

had a very respectful chat about theology tonight

I understand why people are doing it but I do not care for the Richard Hanania screenshots. If I cared what the nasty son of Nicolas Cage's character from Longlegs was up to, or thought about current events, I would have written the worst screenplay of all time addressing that very question.

who was the first person to see a frozen lake and be like “get me my sharpest shoes”

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

i love how texas started this and was all “neener what you gon do” and a buncha blue states said “lol watch this”

guys like this are showing up to protests and breaking down in tears and we are going to win

America may have always been like this for far too many people but this administration is bringing it home, directly and in person, to a ton of folks who have never seen it before that this is their response is extremely encouraging

straight out of those Civil War histories where some ill informed white Union soldier got a view of slavery up close and became hyper abolitionist in an instant

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown. But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.

see this is why, as much as many national dems suck, I think there is room for optimism this didn’t used to be the response from blue states! that a number of them immediately grabbed the baton and went for their own aggressive gerrymanders is very encouraging! some of our democrats are learning!

I have mixed feelings about the Mills campaign but as a long-time Susan Collins hater this ad was made for me personally

For God so loved the world, he sent his only begotten son. He did not send his eldest begotten daughter because, as you know, she is already a fucking martyr.

US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.

This is so spot on

got in an argument with this khaki wearing guy who had his pristine f150 parked all the way across a sidewalk (?) and in the course of the argument i asked ‘do you do a lot of backcountry driving in that thing’ and it upset him so bad he had to lock himself in his truck lmao
