Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

I hope Zohran Mamdani thanked Benjamin Netanyahu for his UN speech, which only made Mamdani more likable. Even a gift basket would be nice.

First, the famed Rosie the Riveter image that is a feminist icon is in fact an anti-union image created by Westinghouse during the war. All discussions of memories of women and the war should start with knowing this fact. thesocietypages.org/socimages/20...

Just saw a narcissistic, womanizing president and his clueless advisers mired in a war based on nothing more than his ego. Also: I watched Leo McCarey's DUCK SOUP (1933) w/ the Marx Bros tonight. It’s like writers Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, Arthur Sheekman and Nat Perrin had a crystal ball. #FilmSky

If you want to understand how the American Catholic Church was co-opted by right-wing politics and wealthy donors. Read two books. 👇 Read The Neo-Catholics first. This was written before Trump even ran. Then read Playing God. You’ll understand the connections.

Haaretz: A week and a half before October 7, 2023 UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Abu Dhabi and spoke with him for 45 minutes.

In that conversation, bin Zayed warned that Hamas’ leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was planning a major operation against Israel.

Bin Zayed urged Netanyahu to take the situation seriously. To his surprise, however, the prime minister reacted with relative calm. Netanyahu said that, in his assessment, Hamas intended to operate in the West Bank area, and he reassured bin Zayed that Israel was prepared for any scenario.

Noticing that so many stories of "nice communities" disrupted by massive AI data centers seem to be about white people. Wonder how many of them have been quick to dismiss research and activism about environmental racism since the 1980s, considering that field largely centered on people of color?

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!

60 years ago today in Raleigh, North Carolina, the largest-ever political gathering in the state was held in support of Grand Dragon Bob Jones and the leaders of the United Klans of America, the largest Klan organization in history, which was then under federal investigation. Thus the roots of MAGA.
