This really puts stuff like publicly funded third spaces in perspective for me. It's so relatively cheap to build out community centers, gyms, makerspaces, studios etc.

I work with abortion providers in Colorado. One of them had a patient whose water broke at 4 1/2 months, was told by a Houston hospital they couldn't help her until she went into labor or went septic, so *she got on a plane & flew to Denver mid-miscarriage*. There's no respectful disagreement here.

This is *the* main continuity between neo-fascism and the 20th Century variety. Erich Fromm argued exactly this in "Escape From Freedom," saying that modernity left many alienated and socially dislocated--and fascist strongmen promised to restore meaning and purpose to their lives.

Will Bunch: The facts are shocking enough, but the bigger reason that the Cornell gang-rape case has broken through is that everyday Americans are sick of the rich and powerful and their sons getting away with it. And everyone knows this fish stinks from the head. www.inquirer.com/opinion/corn...

Good evening to Juan Linz. Presidentialism was a grave mistake. Impeachment is literally the only mechanism we have. Failing to even try to use it is total failure. A constitutional order like this, in the face of such unprecedented corruption & constitutional crimes, is not really worth saving.

I think Greg is correct, but Americans need to be aware that Magyar’s Tisza government is aggressively going after every Fidesz official, removing them, using every lever of the state to yank them out of power. This is far more aggressive and rapid than anything proposed in the US so far.

One more time for the cheap seats in the back!
Screenshot of article which reads:  Democrats 
and Republicans in the 1950s could agree on many things, as long as 
they also agreed that Jim Crow oppression in the American South was 
acceptable and that women belonged in the home. Once they started 
disagreeing about these things, and especially once they were no longer 
the only people allowed in the room, U.S. politics became significantly 
more contentious. Not everyone wanted to peacefully extend power to 
previously marginalized groups.

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph
Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential 
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic 
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is 
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted 
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s 
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those 
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is 
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not 
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

There are two aspects of American self-mythology at work in the Bay Area problem: the idea that we will cause the end of the world, and also, that the end of the world must be stopped by an ideal hero. Our fiction reinforces this idea, and it leads to our compulsion to manufacture suicidal weaponry.
