destroying Greek life would be useful for stemming an entire mode of social reproduction which, as I must remind everyone, was born of the confederate south. Greek life prides itself on keeping the tradition of rape alive in more than one form. Sometimes literal.

Michigan will decide in November whether to hold the nation's first constitutional convention since the 1980s. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has scheduled a similar referendum for his state for April—but his fellow Republicans argue he lacks this power and this vote shouldn't happen.

One of the many lessons of the Trump era is that rapists are very well-organized and actively work to protect each other. Fraternities serve that function in the open, and so they must be destroyed if we are serious about accountability for rapists.

There was also a second clear strategy: make very clear to any public servants in the FBI and DOJ that you are expected to serve the interests of the GOP. And I want to be unambiguous about this: this was NOT JUST ABOUT TRUMP. This was about destroying any willingness to investigate any GOP MOC...

The Senate spent its final days before the election eliminating labor rights for a subset of workers who are disproportionately young Black men. For the win! Here's a rundown of the Protect College Sports Act, which mostly restores the NCAA cartel to limit athlete compensation:

The Senate-passed Protect College Sports Act is really an anti-labor bill meant to restore the NCAA cartel at the expense of the athletes.

Allowing the Republican Party to fester in its current form is just asking for a major constitutional crisis that will likely turn violent sometime in the 2030s when people sour on the Democrats. Our priority must be to dissolve the GOP so that non-illiberal conservatives can form a replacement.
