Look, it's one thing to believe in "sovereign nations" and "borders" as a child, but eventually you're supposed to grow up and become an anarchist.

Antebellum politics is fascinating, the South kept getting policy concessions and whipped themselves up into a paranoid rage anyway, essentially because they couldn't stand being culturally judged for having slaves

Do AI people know how to defend their tech without implying that anyone who doesn't like it is an illiterate God-fearing peasant? No one wants to fight a war with their imagination. Just straw man after straw man

Every single senator has killed more people than any random guy from your city doing 25 to life, they just get to do it in a way we have all agreed makes it not real for some reason. We're governed by serial killers!! www.welcometohellworld.com/the-rube-gol...
No matter what you say about a senator, no matter how rude it is, it will never match the violence they very calmly and cordially enact on millions of people as a matter of course. Sinema’s goofy thumbs down was a distraction, but it’s not really the salient issue here. It’s her and her colleagues' indifference to so many of our lives.

Every single senator has killed more people than any random guy from your city doing 25 to life, they just get to do it in a way we have all agreed makes it not real for some reason. We're governed by serial killers!!

Here’s an honest question: Who do you think has been the cause of more deaths, Joe Manchin, or Ted Bundy?

if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

"There are valid concerns and criticisms to be had about immigration." No there aren't. Fuck you. Don't concede that absurd shit. Abolish every border. Let hundreds of millions in. Why are you justifying violence to keep folks out? Why are you pretending like nations aren't moral atrocities?

Looks like more than one person involved in the murders of Pretti and Good were the "best trained" that DHS has to offer. And at least two are actual gun trainers themselves. So when someone says DHS needs "better training", don't debate. Just slap them. More training just means more lethal.

we don't have a representative government and we never did. the sooner people accept this the sooner we can figure out what to do about it, but pretending that the ceremony of an election means we somehow control our rulers is a farcical delusion that allows them to rule us in the first place

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

The reason that "respectable" and "intellectual" conservative and centrist pundits have spent the last decade arguing that social pressure and public opinion are morally equivalent to state coercion is to lay the groundwork for justifying the latter.

i consider it a sign of the reactionary shift in the overton window that it is difficult to criticize one of the most hegemonic and powerful institutions on earth without getting piled on by "progressive" defenders, even if you add the caveat/hedge of "extremism"

I'm sorry, I don't buy this. David Graeber and David Wengrow effectively demonstrated the myriad ways societies could organise in early human history. The point about autocrats is not that we are hardwired to follow them but they employ systems of coercion. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Are we hardwired to fall for autocrats?
It’s human nature to trust strongmen, but we’ve also evolved the tools to resist them

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

Keep in mind. Trump isn’t giving all these ICE Agents directions individually. They are choosing to do this. Stealing money. Making girls stand in the rain in their underwear. That’s their choice. Because people who chose to be ICE Agents chose it for pain it causes.

you often see partisan political cheerleading compared to sports, but most sports fans i've met usually have some opinions about the tactics of their favorite team, or are even willing to criticize the management when they make bad calls. political cheerleaders are less sophisticated than that

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]
