bro what if we could just work for a living and be paid fair value for our work and decide what happens to our surplus labor value in a democratic process instead of having it decided for us by a cabal of senile pedophilic failsons

I hate this so much. No one wants policy created as a "gotcha" that no one will fall for. Medicare for all, nationalize the pharmaceutical companies, nationalize the hospitals. End the madness.

The documentary film "Cow" is by far the worst I have ever seen. I had never thought seriously about walking out of a theater until being 1 hr into watching cows do cow things.

WHOA! Nancy Pelosi says she will vote for Massie's amendment to withhold arms from Israel despite calling it "ill-conceived!" "The American people are rightly demanding an end to a perpetual cycle of war, and the Netanyahu government cannot maintain its current course. "
Washington, D.C. — Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement on Massie Amendment #8 to H.R. 8595, the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act of 2027:

 
“Today, the Massie Amendment presents an unfortunate choice to the House. As one who is committed to a strong U.S.-Israel relationship and supportive of a two-state solution, I respect Leader Jeffries’ decisive proposals to achieve a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. For the good of the Israeli people and the Palestinian people, it clear that U.S. policy must change to attain that goal.

“The United States must be a force for security and stability. The American people are rightly demanding an end to a perpetual cycle of war, and the Netanyahu government cannot maintain its current course. Therefore, while this amendment is ill-conceived, I vote yes for the message that it sends.”

Id take it further, I would argue that pain is the goal here. The more I think about it, the more I see the need to jail and institutionalize as a manifestation of the need to punish difference. The impulse to institutionalize disabled people overlaps and is born of the same anxiety/disgust/anger.

If people ask you to invoke the spirit of ‘76, to push authority, even “to rebel”, as some put it, push back on them right away. Because they almost *never* mean it. They really mean for you to lean into institutions, pressure with the permitted channels. Protest, yes. But be home for dinner.

Happy Fourth and happy 250th. I find myself re-reading FDR’s third inaugural address often these days. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/th...
Lives of Nations are determined not by the count of years, but by the lifetime of the human spirit. The life of a man is threescore years and ten: a little more, a little less. The life of a Nation is the fullness of the measure of its will to live.

There are men who doubt this. There are men who believe that democracy, as a form of government and a frame of life, is limited or measured by a kind of mystical and artificial fate that, for some unexplained reason, tyranny and slavery have become the surging wave of the future—and that freedom is an ebbing tide.

But we Americans know that this is not true.

Eight years ago, when the life of this Republic seemed frozen by a fatalistic terror, we proved that this is not true. We were in the midst of shock—but we acted. We acted quickly, boldly, decisively.

These later years have been living years—fruitful years for the people of this democracy. For they have brought to us greater security and, I hope, a better understanding that life's ideals are to be measured in other than material things.

Most vital to our present and to our future is this experience of a democracy which successfully survived crisis at home; put away many evil things; built new structures on enduring lines; and, through it all, maintained the fact of its democracy.For action has been taken within the three-way framework of the Constitution of the United States. The coordinate branches of the Government continue freely to function. The Bill of Rights remains inviolate. The freedom of elections is wholly maintained. Prophets of the downfall of American democracy have seen their dire predictions come to naught.

No, democracy is not dying.

We know it because we have seen it revive—and grow.

We know it cannot die—because it is built on the unhampered initiative of individual men and women joined together in a common enterprise—an enterprise undertaken and carried through by the free expression of a free majority.

We know it because democracy alone, of all forms of government, enlists the full force of men's enlightened will.

We know it because democracy alone has constructed an unlimited civilization capable of infinite progress in the improvement of human life.

We know it because, if we look below the surface, we sense it still spreading on every continent—for it is the most humane, the most advanced, and in the end the most unconquerable of all forms of human society.

Politics moves both fast and slow. The politics of just about everyone under 40 is watching the Democratic Party candidates get annihilated by the worst man in the world TWICE. There's no world in which that kind of political party can continue to function as before.

The thing about Anthony Fantano is that he is also bad at reviewing non-pop music as well. He fundamentally does not try to understand music in any meaningful way outside of the discussion of zeitgeist.

All of these things are true. What’s more, they offer a glimpse at a vision of pro-democracy structural change that could energize an effective American opposition. What’s also true is that Buttigieg has no intention of actually working towards any of it.

I hate the line that the Constitution is "colorblind." The reconstruction amendments gave the Constitution eyes with which to see discrimination, ears with which to hear the cries of the oppressed, and a mouth with which to speak the law against it. The Court made it a blind deaf mute for a century.
