What’s Up With the Terror Indictment Against Alleged Antifa Members?
The Justice Department’s tacked-on charges are just for show. The larger plan is not.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

“The taxes were illegal but it’s just too much money for the government to give back” sounds like something you would have been tarred and feathered for saying in 1773.

Democratic elected officials & pundits LOVE to tell voters to put "X, Y, Z" behind them and "move on." This means that they never, ever, ever address X, Y, Z. This is a significant reason the country is where it is. For ex, Obama came in saying "we're not looking back" and man was that wrong.

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

I'm introduced on page 10 to a new term, metaeugenics. Williams quotes one of their earlier papers to define and then contrast this concept with necropolitics, as this is an internalized collection of beliefs while necropolitics is an external regime/power structure (see Mbembé and Meintjes 2003).

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.
