Reminder that we didn't win the similar long fight over seatbelt usage by gently persuading skeptical anti seatbelt people with empathetic outreach, or by having cops write tickets, but by having manufacturers make cars do a little annoying beep if you didn't wear it.

The key to understanding all the nonsensical pro-tariff arguments from billionaires is that they're not supposed to make sense. They're just noise to cover yet another round of huge tax cuts for billionaires. (Same's true of "DOGE," it's just noise for cutting social services.) Standard Reaganism.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care. One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be chea...

Right-wing support was increasingly framed in terms of anticommunism rather than overt white supremacy by the mid-1980s. Reagan used that framework when he vetoed sanctions against South Africa in 1986; the House overrode the veto with plenty of Republican votes.

But when it came to Africa, especially the apartheid regimes in Rhodesia and South Africa, the argument for whites supremacy remained: apartheid must remain in those countries because, as Russell Kirk wrote in 1965, only the white race was “civilized.”

The "ritualistic liberal" of Britain or America thinks of the policy of South Africa's Nationalist government as "racialist." But at heart, the policy of "apartheid," or "separate development," is not concerned with dogmas about innate racial superiority and inferiority. The real question is prudential: how to govern tolerably a society composed of several races, among which only a minority is civilized. So far as the doctrine of "one man, one vote" is workable at all, it can be applied only to a society in which the great mass of men share one culture, are reasonably literate, enjoy comparative economie equality, and are separated by no profound distinctions. Such is America; but such is not South Africa.

National Review, for instance, published openly racist articles about the US South in the 1950s, arguing that white rule was necessary because white people were “the advanced race.” In subsequent years, they swapped openly white supremacist arguments for the coded language of states’ rights.

The central question that emerges—and it is not a parliamentary question or a question that is answered by merely consulting a catalogue of the rights of American citizens, born Equal-is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not predominate numerically? The sobering answer is Yes—the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race.

Excellent thread on the long tradition of American rightwing leaders supporting apartheid in South Africa as the manifestation of a “natural” racial hierarchy - a way for them to affirm and communicate their preferred vision of societal order at home and abroad.

Ahh right, this homicide was committed on Instagram

In 2017, Tom Morello posted a picture of himself wearing a shirt reading "mother, should I trust the government" and the words "FUCK TRUMP" on the back of his guitar, to which user @davez67, who I can only assume immediately deleted himself from the internet, replied "Another succesful musician instantly becomes a political expert"

Tom's response: "One does not have to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University to recognize the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University so I can confirm that for you."
