they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

The shape of politics in the US right now is increasingly that the media, political and economic elites are allied with the Trump regime against the actual people of the country who hate it

I didn't read nearly as much as I wanted to this summer, but I'm a new fan of CHAEREAS AND CALLIRHOE and think you should read it too: "It’s violent, sordid, funny, surreal, and thoroughly human, sort of like Pirates of the Caribbean written by the Coen Brothers." Link in comments.

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man? Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

The Ear Scene is one of the most disturbing moments in the whole history of American film. Madsen was a terrific actor, undervalued and not given as many roles as he should have been. Ars longa vita brevis.

This @propublica.org video is incredible. It shows how billionaires live on loans. Their repayment interest rate is a fraction of what you'd pay in income tax if you actually *worked*. Time for everyone to complain loudly enough to blast a hole in the inbox & phone of every elected representative.

“I could explain Hasan Piker’s politics to you, but that’s entirely irrelevant. The bold, all caps, underlined point is that a high profile, US-born American citizen was detained on Sunday by ICE for, it would seem, the crime of speech.”

Hasan Piker’s ICE detainment is a cautionary tale for multiple reasons

The progressive Twitch star's account of his experience shows unchecked power, and what *not* to do if detained.

The Pittsburgh DSA at one point considered and in the end declined to endorse Fetterman on the basis of seeing early on that merely going with "oppositional vibes" was not, in fact, what we should do when deciding what politicians to support. Obvs now vindicated. Good praxis, be like those comrades.
