The reduction of politics to voting is part of the 50 year neoliberal project whose foremost goal is to make you think of yourself as an atomized individual and not as a member of a polity.

Sometimes people say that Meg White isn’t the most technically refined drummer and I do feel like it’s worth bringing up that she was drinking coffee and her husband went insane and made them pretend to be siblings and also she had to play the drums, so how good do you think you would do

I'm sure there's a clip of Republican Senator Ted Cruz pausing his speech to say, no, these Democratic officials should *not* be shot and I disavow and denounce the Republican in the audience who is calling for assassinations at a Republican political event.

I don't think it should be controversial to say, "we will not provide financial or military assistance to a country where the Minister of National Security brags about popping people's dreams of 'food' and 'education' then sending them to a prison where they are starved."

this is alarming and has serious implications. stars & stripes is a legit independent newsroom for the troops that provide critical accountability, both in and outside the military. they are deeply sourced in ways the rest of news media is not, and they’ve reported on many of hegsgeth’s failures.
