They're calling it Herbert Hoover's second term

One of the more interesting dynamics to the Battle of Minneapolis is that it's very clear that it was chosen as a target because of 2020. Which, IMO, was a significant misstep because 2020 is what taught both its activists, police, and leadership how to handle such a situation.

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Christ, this (from Lizza's latest) is pretty fucking damning of...literally the entire media(?) What the fuck?

They even got the "challenge coins" HOLY FUCK

A coherent antiwar movement would be great. Unfortunately, the actually existing antiwar movement has decided to be pro-fascist

they dont do this because they like Trump and want to help him. after he is gone and no longer of use to The Powers That Be, they will all laugh and swap stories about how "everyone knew" how it was much worse than is being openly reported now

The spirit of '89 is as applicable today as it was the day Lafayette wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen: Women (and men) are born and remain free and equal in rights.

I regret to inform you that MAGA Maoism is, in fact, real

Those NFL shop ads with the QR probably convert a lot of traffic. That might be a good way for Democratic campaigns to drive users to policy websites or videos. A common low-info claim about dem campaigns is that they have no policy. I disagree but it might help defuse that if its shoved in faces.

Three day Special Redaction Operation

And here I thought a magistrate was on the level of, like, an Achaemenid satrap or at least a guy who passed the civil service exam in Song China

Oh yeah, one day before January 6th

How do these guys remember to breath

Someday this will happen with trump.

Fuck my stupid chungus life

FUCK THE THIN BLUE BYLINE

Even cops wish they could circle the wagons like journalists

So true!!

Yeah this debacle has me thinking about what the NYT has done for me in my lifetime. So far I have: 1. Yellow Journalism'd us into Iraq 2. Covered up for the most high profile pedophile in the US 3. Helped that pedophile's best friend, a fascist, become president. Man, idk about these guys

George Martin, famous for his prolific output in recent years *sob*

You don't hate the media enough

I hate that line about not having a country if you dont have borders that everyone started using all of a sudden (I guess it sounded good when Richard Spencer or whoever said it). It's a terrible time to believe in the freedom of movement for all humans if this is my Left.

Usha clerked for Kavanaugh and Roberts!! She is fully aligned with the natcon agenda, even if JD is embarrassed to be seen with her.

Relatedly: why did the thirty years war follow the invention of the printing press

Vladdy: "DAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE!"

I'm willing to do both at the same time. That mf is dead

Yeah, they're going to refuse to seat the Democratic Congress in 2027. It won't work, but they will try.

Napheesan al-Gaib

The next president is going to have to ride around in a SCIF like Trotsky in his train while the WH is gutted, debugged, and rebuilt

I'm not going to put up with this kind of tone policing from the left anymore. I hate the fascists that are destroying this country, and everything bad that happens to them is a victory for progress and decency

I think he genuinely just has a hard time remembering who Kirk is or what happened to him

Hitler Stalin pact

Why is nobody talking about republican on republican violence

Looks like republicans got their Horst Wessel

Was it the lead in the water that makes so many Gen Xers Bisexuality Deniers?

Just missing one from the New Axis. I guess he had health problems

Real deliverism has never been tried

Behold, the master race

The core question of representative democracy is whether representatives are elected as an avatar of their constituency, their collective economic and sociocultural wants/needs, or if representatives are elected as themselves, to keep constituents in mind, but center their own expertise and values

I wish her a very Rasputin's fate

You can really tell the cultural context for the development of some sports' popularity. Baseball was designed to wile away the hours of a lazy summer afternoon at the ballpark. Football didn't become culturally dominant until television allowed that experience to filter down into the home

People love dunking on the GRRM Aragorn tax policy question; but the quote is really about the end of history, not Robert's fiscal policy. Aragorn's tax policy, according to George, is putting in Littlefinger as Master of Coin

I'm insanely blackpilled on gun control (a thousand curses on the supreme court), but it's so refreshing to hear a politician be forceful about this

This flavor of American protestantism is so goddam heretical

This is because urban republicans cheer on and validate this kind of shit. Meanwhile, our side gets really precious about what can only be described as 'smol bean rurals' (pic unrelated)
