If you are for American empire (even with qualifications) you are not against American fascism

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

Basement level requirement for popular front participation

Livestream of @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social saying actually it’s not a war crime but sparkling moral hazard

"viewpoint diversity" is always a scam. the people who are pushing it only ever want to elevate right wingers, bigots, and fascists.

Just war theory never seemed further away from the actual reality of the horrors of imperial ROE

Especially with the destruction of USAID, American foreign policy is just two corporations and a war crime in a trenchcoat

Michael was an unfailingly sweet, generous man, selfless organizer and father and a friend of Palestine. Read his obit if you have time.

Feels notable that the American Christofascist movement is, at least in terms of gaining imperial power, the most successful fascist movement since Nazi Germany?

I'll be honest, I'm not sure why I'm obsessed with this formulation for how to understand American Christofascists and how one "understands" them as Christians--namely Christians who worship a different god.

As I have time today, will share a little bit about some of the context and points in this piece. Started writing it aboit a year ago when writing another piece m on Christofascism but ended up putting it down. sojo.net/articles/opi...

Not really about AOC, but the “no clear goal” line of attack is so ridiculous. They have a goal! It’s complete balkanization. Destroying all the infrastructure of the state is the goal. Infuriating messaging

curling and twisting like a nest of anacondas, as if blindly to clutch at any hapless object within reach

It is this every three days now

Excellent, necessary

What does justice demand when this is how military leadership responded to this these orders?

The idea that there is an appropriate, even faithful American patriotism that is neatly separable from our nationalism and imperialism seems quite foolish currently

What was that whole thing about the military refusing illegal orders?

this is good. underrated problem with popularism: it is--openly and explicitly--a pathetic, wimpy school of thought www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

This is very bad. Handing CNN to Bari Weiss/David Ellison is very, very bad.

Ben Shapiro: Ayn Rand

Chicago's organizing community is mourning the untimely passing of Michael Caga-anan Aguhar following a medical emergency last week. His partner, Irina, and their toddler, Zoya, are going to need so much help and support to get through this. Please join me in donating if you can.

A short thread of why Raja Krishnamoorthi sucks. He'd actually be *worse* than Durbin, as a Senator.

Just a reminder that every high-profile shooting by an ICE/CBP agent this past year was done by a long-time veteran who went through more extensive training, with many refresher courses over the years, and at least a couple were instructors themselves.

Bluesky is nice because it reminds me of the old days of social media. Every day came with one main character or piece of discourse. Memes were released once a quarter. The commons was a when we talked about stuff that Common owned

If you are serious about "never again" then remember: it's not about standing up to a line of tanks when the camps are already running. It's about standing up to social & professional pressure when the whole thing is just getting started, when it's not yet cool to do so. That's bravery that matters.

This moment in Mad Men is actually about our commentariat

They maybe don’t need to be pitted against one another, but find the idea within Christian theology of conceiving of humanity as beloved dust more meaningful than seeing us as sinful creatures

the thing about the immigration number is that it doesn’t just prove that shitheads like matty were wrong in the micro a year ago, it proves *their entire theory of politics and persuasion is wrong*

Very removed from this race, but interesting Lightfoot has a Robin Kelly sign in front yard

Okay I’ll bite whose will stencil

Not today Satan

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

“So long as you think you are white there is no hope for you. -James Baldwin quoted by Noel Ignatiev

He also volunteered for the war effort from prison

still remember the "it's too early/hyperbolic/irresponsible to compare these guys to Nazi Germany" Reasonable Posters - whom, I imagine, are waiting for the renovations to be completed before they update their priors

Indiana Bears is so funny. Illinois shouldn't give them a dime, the bears make money from being in Chicago, not the other way around.

I’ve got a plot something a few miles due east of their current stadium that id like for the bears to put their focus on moving to
