yeah, the reason republicans are just not going to budge from texas is the reason why armies try not to abandon their capitals. it isn’t necessarily a strategic defeat to lose the seat of power, but it is a profound blow to morale.

And you know, there is something obscene about using the exploitation and murder of poor Black men, women, and children as a metaphor for a largely white electorate supporting a conman. The comparison borrows the horror of their deaths while discarding the conditions of their lives.

If Jonestown is going to teach us anything, let it be how human needs can be weaponized, and how power destroys the possibility of refusal. Remember the victims as people instead of cheap synonyms for being an idiot.

That’s what disgusts me almost beyond reason — the casual assurance that these people died because they were foolish, and that our cleverness would have saved us. Like murdered families are a compliment we pay ourselves for being so smart.

There are serious things to say about authoritarianism, manipulation, and cults of personality, but “lol, drink the Kool-Aid” does none of that work. It makes the victims’ supposed gullibility the memorable part and lets the machinery of their captivity and agonizing death disappear.

I am so tired of Jonestown being a stock reference for “haha, you’re in a cult.” 918 people died, most against their will, and still it has become shorthand for how stupid you think someone is. It's the McDonald's hot coffee incident of mass death — universally referenced, entirely misremembered.

Once I found out about it, I contacted the reporter and asked him to retract the piece--or at minimum add an editor's note acknowledging the NYT reporting about how Jane Doe did NOT tell police that she consented to her rape. Thus far, the publication has refused to do so.

I remember that. I can tell you exactly when that ended. The second when all essential workers asked for a livable wage. Some base protections/PPE. To be seen as people and not expendable pawns. That wrapped up fast. The sentiment was hold up society, don't complain, and be grateful to do that.

"Medicaid work requirements" are above water with the American electorate (net +18). Calling the same policy "Medicaid eligibility cuts" meaningfully decreases support (net -11). I do not understand the insistence on adopting the framing of those trying to destroy Medicaid
Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress.
Title: Voters Support the Same Medicaid Rules When Called "Work Requirements" and Oppose Them When Called "Eligibility Cuts".
Description: Under new rules, some adults can get or keep Medicaid only if the state confirms that they meet work, school, or volunteer rules. [Split A n=613] Do you support or oppose these Medicaid work requirements? [Split B n=598] Do you support or oppose these Medicaid eligibility cuts?
[Split A] Medicaid work requirements — Support: 57%, Oppose: 39%
[Split B] Medicaid eligibility cuts — Support: 42%, Oppose: 55%

assisted dying clinics in the USA can't get pentobarbital for medical reasons because overseas manufacturers won't distribute in USA precisely bc they use it for non-voluntary deaths. Instead, USA clinics rely on a 3-drug regimen that takes up to an hour to work. Americans fuck themselves daily.

Statement from Christa Pike's attorneys Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason from the TN
Office of the Post Conviction Defender, and Stephen Ferrell and Luke Ihnen from Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee
Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. We take no pleasure in being right, but the concerns raised by Ms. Pike proved to be true: difficult vein access, blown veins, degraded pentobarbital, no emergency medical care available when things inevitably go wrong, all under a protocol that remains veiled in secrecy.
Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no
