Again: there's something credible in describing the U.S. reactionary right as a movement for the defense and exaltation of rape culture.

Mayor Mamdani's antisemitism strategy doesn’t define antisemitism. That’s a good thing.

During the first Trump administration, I would think a shady, white nationalist-coded government office literally called the “Office of Remigration” would have been a huge deal on cable news. Pretty unnerving how little play it’s getting among liberals now.

Every billionaire believes this because they all see themselves in the role. None have the depth to think about what any dictator would necessarily have to do to be "efficient" in governance and "benevolent" for the people: seize billionaires' assets and nationalize their industries.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.
