The newspaper of record of my entire childhood would literally rather die than pay its unionized workers the wages and benefits that the actual Supreme Court of the United States of America decided were owed to them.

Who else besides me had “Laura Loomer defends Trump from Tucker Carlson’s accusation that his administration invaded Venezuela and deposed Maduro in order to advance the global gay agenda” on their 2026 bingo card?

"The corporatization of higher-ed leadership is not the result of recent culture wars; it is the inevitable result of increased prioritization of various higher-ed profit centers: tech incubators, real estate speculation, online degrees, public-private partnerships, and endowment managerialism."

Thom Tillis is as responsible as anybody for where we are as a nation rn if there was any justice in the world he'd never know a moment's peace for the rest of his days

This is like everything terrible about Elon Musk in one single headline.

This is absolutely not a dunk because I mostly agree with Max but most of the people who say “history repeats” aren’t historians, but history enthusiasts - dudes with a CS or B-school degree who have a podcast on WW2 or Rome

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

“Scholars have counted 41 instances of the United States overthrowing Latin American regimes between 1898 and 1994. In 17 cases, the United States directly employed military forces, intelligence agents or local citizens who were paid to overthrow the regime.”

So many people are walking around looking the way Philip Roth once described Alvin Pepler, like an animal just clubbed at the abattoir, and all I can think is: "First Monday in January or completely reasonable response to the world in which we live?"

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

It's totally clear that not only is this guy not running Venezuela, he didn't have much to do with this going down at all

people on the internet will really just say whatever

girl what the actual fuck are you talking about

So when can you start

it's only a violation if you read international law literally rather than as a spiritual allegory

The popular juxtaposition of MTG’s strong statement on the US’s invasion of Venezuela w Spreaker Jeffries’ vacillating one may be well intentioned, or might not be, but does tacitly imply the only alternative to neoliberal imperialism is America 1st nationalism. ramirez.house.gov/media/press-...

So the US can abduct anyone—including heads of state—as long as they’ve been indicted in the US. But the SC has also ruled it’s impossible for the US to prosecute its own President. The natural conclusion: some sort of mutually beneficial system of authoritarian kidnap-exchange. A Coasean Sargon.

I do not, of course, endorse kidnapping. But there’s a certain kind of US-centric law-brained analysis that’s very forward in the Serious Papers. It’s kind of depressing. I mean, this headline is faintly ridiculous. Call the IR, Poli Sci, and Area Experts before you phone the lawyers, please.

I find it interesting how quickly people use the number of footnotes as evidence that something was well researched.

I love how the neutral, sophisticated way to describe the motives of the President of the United States is like that of a not too bright, impulsive toddler

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

(UNC faculty: Just don't put it in your syllabus.)

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.
