The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

All my coworkers live in Virginia and ask me the most ridiculous questions about living in DC “Is it bad in your neighborhood?” “Is it weird on the metro?” “Can you even go out at night?” The number of nights I have staggered half cockeyed across this city the misinformation is very real

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't. We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

American right-wingers are mostly brain-melted freaks that desperately need to believe they belong to the dominant culture to keep the cognitive dissonance at bay. Pointing out how far away their beliefs from the average person is incredibly powerful.

As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.

We are seven months in, and the speed with which vital civic institutions are capitulating to authoritarian demands we once would have regarded as inconceivable in an established liberal democracy is jawdropping. I hadn't thought I was polyannaish about America, but it's really stunning.

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

I've thought about this a ton over the years. It's become clear that the *primary rhetorical strategy* of reactionaries is to manipulate liberals by appealing to liberal values (free speech, good faith) that they do not share. It works, again & again & again & again.

It's those people -- the ones closest to me, the ones I understand best -- who are most repulsive to me at the moment. None of them will ever suffer a single second for it, none will ever be troubled by doubts. Flattering billionaires is never a bad bet in the US. But they are bad & should feel bad.

It is difficult to know who deserves more contempt: the passive, ignorant voters allowing this to happen, the self-serving billionaires themselves, the elite gatekeepers in law & academia rushing to bend the knee, or the reactionary centrist pundits who worked so hard to make the story ubiquitous.

That's why, even though Trump won by a tiny whisker margin, the entire elite vibe was, "yes, this makes sense, woke is over, it's time for reactionary backlash." The other billionaires, even the ones who wouldn't identify as MAGA, or even conservative, believe that this is a necessary correction.

The thing that stands out here is so many Dems run campaigns terrified of (and thus buying into) the Fox News framing. Mamdani is rightly mocking that framing as ridiculous and it resonates. He's not running scared. He's running proud of who he is and what he stands for.

Months later, when Mr. Trump hosted a party at Mar-a-Lago for young women in a so-called calendar girl competition, Mr. Epstein was the only other guest, according to George Houraney, a Florida-based businessman who arranged the event. Mr. Houraney recalled being surprised that Mr. Epstein was the only other person on the guest list.

“I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s,” Mr. Houraney told The New York Times in 2019. “You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’”
Mr. Houraney’s then-girlfriend and business partner, Jill Harth, later accused Mr. Trump of sexual misconduct on the night of the party. In a lawsuit, Ms. Harth said that Mr. Trump took her into a bedroom and forcibly kissed and fondled her, and restrained her from leaving. She also said that a 22-year-old contestant told her that Mr. Trump later that night crawled into her bed uninvited.

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.

The lack of interest in the industry at the moment at proposing a show that could come in at a reasonable or low budget is one of the biggest surprises in my career. I’ve spoken to lots of writers about it. It’s a total blind spot. Nobody wants to make cheap scripted TV.
