not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

"When one side rejects pluralism, electoral legitimacy, or epistemic accountability, then 'reconciliation' and even 'civility' function less as neutral civic virtues than as asymmetric constraints, and they risk unilaterally disarming pro-democracy forces." 🎯

i mean, just look at how the populists talked about the railroad barons and others like them. "The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes, unprecedented in the history of the world, while their possessors despise the republic and endanger liberty."

The reason not to triangulate against trans people isn't that it's bad politics (although I believe it is) or unnecessary (although I believe it is). It's because YOU MUST NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE TO DEPRAVED PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THEM HARM. If we will, what's the point of anything else we do?

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

I was working second shift at the time, so I woke up late. There was a phone message from my (now) ex: "they blew up the Twin Towers!" I thought she was joking. I went into the living room of our Greenwood, Brooklyn apartment. It was filled with warm sunlight.

Tweet from @theheadquarters.bsky.con that says "Trump: I have to say this about Ken Paxton. It's so insulting, they say, 'Sir, you can't say that.' I said, 'I have to.' But you may not like the way he dresses. I don't. You may not like the way he talks, and I can see that. You may not like the way he looks, and he may not be the best lookin' guy"

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop.

Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community.

Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered.

Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.
