[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

It’s funny cause they could probably get Nikki to perform but they know their audience only wants white performers

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

Turns out there are hardcore libertarians committed to principles (people should live freely with absolutely minimal state interference) rather than outcomes (me have lots you have little too bad NAP) but they are few and far between

Somehow… centrist producerism returned

There´s a lot to say about these skeets by @jwmason.bsky.social My 5 cents: not all prices are market prices. What do I mean? I´m investigating the Commons on the Dutch island of Ameland. As late as 1910 (when they had been officially disbanded for 14 years) one of these mustered 68 people to

You don’t want hands free driving, you want trains. You want trains you want trains you want TRAINS

On campus, the class distinctions between the working class through professional managerial class kids are compressed as you get introduced to the weird shit the billionaire class is on

And so in capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority.

Chat, there is nothing to lose but y’all’s chains

A literal predator class, as the partial release of the Epstein files reveals.

Every 501c3 pushing “connectedness” and “bridgebuilding” and “civic life” should just be working to duplicate the civil society infrastructure of Minneapolis

Please don't put in the paper that I specifically asked to go to the wildest party hosted by the worlds most famous pedophile

Please stop posting Will Stancil discourse photos without alt text. It’s bad accessibility practice, and more importantly it gets around my word block on “stancil” and subjects my eyes to that bullshit

It's a big club!

Stupidity aside, it really feels like every political generation is run and ruined by the previous generation of media technology. Talk radio defined politics in the 90s and 00s, and now TV is finally rotting the world well after its heyday.

“He is central casting” god everything is so stupid

I don't know what to say. What do you do with this. What do you do about this. They've been playing this game all year. Its insulting, on a fundamental level. Contempt not just for our intelligence but our very existences.

This may be the best encapsulation of Republican 'Populism' imaginable. A picture is worth a thousand words and I can basically quite writing about it

“Reign of Terror” by @attackerman.bsky.social, now available in paperback

Ben Frankie with the og lead paint stare

I had the privilege of meeting David Brooks when I was in college and it changed my life. I’ll always be thankful for that. I had never realized that such articulate, well-read people could be fucking dumbasses.

The Atlantic is six years younger.

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

The GOP is in fact the party of divorced middle aged men whose blue haired daughters hate them

Thank god for death; the old fascists are on the brink of their inevitable exit and fresh eyes are looking to remake the world

Reconsidering my principle that leftists should vote blue no matter who. Weak opposition may actually be worse than no opposition.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

the venn diagram of people who disparage the humanities and people who squawk about "western culture" and "the classics" is almost a circle and to square that circle: they believe the humanities should be a prestige hobby for ivory tower dilettantes while the rest of us toil as slaves or worse

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

she is straight up gonna deck this motherfucker, holy shit

Bill Kristol's militant ethnonationalist clash-of-civilizations civil-liberties-suspending antiliberal neoconservativism is a central reason why we have Trump today. If you think any given non-voter bears more responsibility for Trump than Bill Kristol, you've lost your mind.

I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.

there is a post from the US gov 'department of war' on here that includes video of them actually murdering people and threatening to murder more people & it's been up since november

Been giving him the benefit of the doubt but Walz is at best a coward and arguably a collaborator

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)

indeed the *bizarre* features of the US electoral system--state-run primaries, explicit partisan balance requirements on regulatory bodies, etc--mean that political parties themselves are basically illegal too jwmason.org/slackwire/po...

ahahahahaha

Every fascist movement has a thousand petty Ernst Rohms who are certain the fuhrer is their buddy

Bill Maher is a man who is watching his entire bankrupt worldview get crushed into oblivion by fascists on one side and well-meaning leftists on the other and I know it's a small thing but I take great pleasure in that

this is a bloody nose for the Trump administration given to them by a decentralized network of good, decent people who refused to give up their community members to fascism

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming. no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Alright now that that’s over who can we trade Puka for. Justin Jefferson, straight up?

ah well that absolutely sucks, but good game to the hawks. you better beat the motherfucking pats

ok what is holding because how is that not holding

to live is to suffer

Sure feels like this game will be decided on who gets the next turnover

i’ve seen enough hawks well done please beat the absolute piss outta the pats
