Shout out to Brazil for reminding the world what you’re supposed to do with political figures who actively attempt to subvert democracy. Notice that part of it is definitely not letting them run for president AGAIN and the other part is sending them to prison for the rest of their miserable life.

Half the condemnations of Kirk’s assassination contain some implication that there are large swaths of the American left who support it, but I have yet to find any actual political figures who have voiced that kind of opinion on it. So who the fuck is this imaginary Democrat they all disagree with?

MAGA, What you feel now listening to Trump call you stupid for believing a “hoax created by the Democrats” knowing he’s lying… That’s how the rest of us having been feeling for the past decade. This is what he does; you’re just catching up now because this latest lie is one you don’t want to hear.

The Democratic establishment’s resistance to Mamdani is entirely a product of our campaign financing system. Their donors have made their allergy to common sense social services funded by common sense taxation perfectly clear. It’s also one of the few “both sides” issues we have left.

“Diversity of thought” is a nice way of describing incoherent and dissonant sets of ideas, most of which are based just on vibes. Which is what allows for such diversity. When truth doesn’t matter, we have no basis to form our views on and don’t need to adapt when our ideas are mutually exclusive.

Just to recap the past couple weeks, our current president has, to name a couple: - announced in-person dinners for the largest purchasers of his $TRUMP coin (AKA openly accepting bribes for meetings with the president) - and accepted a $400 million gift private jet from the Qatari government.

This is idiotic and fails to address the issue entirely. Housing affordability is primarily an issue of supply failing to keep pace with demand. The cause of this is not a lack of land on which to build housing; it’s arbitrarily restrictive zoning laws in the places where new units are needed most.

It feels so quaint to look back on a year ago when I worried the worst-case-scenario for Trump’s mass deportation logistics was they might build quasi-concentration camps in the SW for people awaiting deportation proceedings. What’s now happening is far worse and somehow I didn’t see it coming.

So just to recap, lest you live under a rock or are confused: ICE sent a man to a Salvadorian prison who was in the US legally, married to a US citizen, and has three children who are also US citizens. He was not charged or convicted of any crimes and was not even suspected of any wrongdoing.

i find this notion that public spending is illegitimate bizarre as a matter of economics but totally legible as a statement of moral economy. and as per any strict system of morality, the punishment is part of the appeal. they are punishing the american people for believing in the public good.

It’s fucking depressing to consider how little this matters to their fanboys. They will never actually see or care that Zelenskyy did, in fact, say thank you (he didn’t need to, to be clear). They’ll only see the part where their “good and strong” daddies berated a disrespectful beggar.
