One of my biggest Screaming Into A Vacuum beliefs is that part of why the US is a reich now is because we have never had any true left wing mainstream TV news. Our most left wing tv news is MSNBC. It is considered the leftmost option. But they employed this Hitler enthusiast, just as CNN & Fox did.

A Senegalese basketball player for Kentucky State University was detained on August 7 at an airport while traveling with her team and has been in ICE custody ever since, despite her removal order being rescinded by an immigration judge.

A member of the National Guard shot and killed a man in Memphis and it barely made a ripple in our discourse.

One of the biggest signs here is just how quickly ostensible opponents of Trump’s domestic occupations by the National Guard reached for “send them to Anacostia/Shreveport/St. Louis/Memphis etc” as the rhetorical response and the relative silence about them since they have.

It’s genuinely remarkable how complete the consensus around anti-Black racism as an unremarkable feature of public and political life has become.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Liberalism has no hope, it's not about change. It's maintenance of status quo. Free market liberal capitalism. Fundamentally unjust since it was never even endowed to live up to its own stated values of actual egalitarianism, a few hoard. Liberals are always in bed with conservatives as fascists.

A central pillar of the liberal worldview is that any deviation from the current order established by our oppressive status quo, regardless of ideological underpinnings is problematic. Passionately want All People to have rights? Basically the same as passionately wanting No People to have rights.

“It also sets the precedent for using this chilling tactic on any journalist or watchdog as it sees fit.“ Oregon cities are doing this over and over again, making it prohibitive for any independent journalist without a team of lawyers to get public records. It’s outrageous.

I think it is evidence of how so much we have been made to think that gaining an audience is the goal of life in this attention-seeking economy that saying "a rapist shouldn't seek a public persona that is available for consumption" is taken as equivalent to saying they "can never rejoin society."

I’m not going to quote the essay for many reasons, but if your reaction to one of your favs openly admitting to raping someone and lying about it, the ONLY acceptable reaction is “that person is dead to me.”

The "antisemitism isn't systemic" argument falls apart when you grasp the security costs borne by American Jews in just about every aspect of communal life. Nazis walking into synagogues with AR-15s are animated by the same Great Replacement Theory espoused by our Christian nationalist electeds.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

I see Drazan is meeting with the wealthy class down in Eugene and the ultra-rich, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-abortion, fundamentalist Christian MAGA governor of Montana. Get a load of Governor Gianforte's wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Gi...
Christine Drazan post:
Image of people siting around a conference table.

I’m grateful to the Eugene-area business owners who spoke candidly yesterday about what it’s like trying to grow, create jobs and invest in Oregon. They build our infrastructure, provide healthcare, run hotels and restaurants, fill prescriptions and employ hundreds of Oregonians. Despite their different industries, they shared the same frustration with a governor who is working against them.
Governor Gianforte brought a simple message from Montana: things can get better with the right leadership.
He’s had a little too much success recruiting Oregon businesses to Montana. I plan to put an end to that. When I’m governor, Oregon will be open for business again. See less

We live in a society that punishes people who are assaulted. We question them, we shame them, we disbelieve them. Many survivors instinctively do that societal work for us. Survivors question themselves, they shame themselves, they don't believe their own version of events. We've trained them!
