1st book of the year- The Bombshell Manual of Style
It was fun! I've always been a big fan of satirical dives into a specific aesthetic (The Official Preppy Handbook is one of my all time favorites for a reason)
The Bombshell has always been a favorite of mine, a regressive treat

Chicago city councilor Byron Sigcho Lopez is also speaking to the crowd, calling for international solidarity against the Trump admin's actions.
He decries "these ludicrous justifications of war - the same that we saw in the Iraqi War, in the Afghanistan War."

Chilly night in Chicago, but protesters have shown up to confront Trump’s illegal war.

This is why military policy is too important to cede to the right. These people are idiots who can't wield the tools of defense with any more precision than an icepick lobotomy.
The left can offer a coherent ideal of civmil relations that respects human decency and republicanism or it can ignore it.

Trump just released a photo of Maduro blindfolded “on board the USS Iwo Jima.”

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

so uh, a US president just did an unprovoked military strike without the authorization of congress with ≈30% approval rating. The economy is running off of vibes, and this might actually break the Atlantic Order.
We are rapidly entering into what historians have termed "The Cool Zone"

this is a core belief of mine. Having ancestors who came over in such and such year is nothing more than interesting family trivia, not a claim to "True Americanism"
We are *all* Real America in the same way a naturalized citizen who took his oath five seconds ago is exactly as much of a citizen as someone whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower.
Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not

a thing I dont think older people realize is how completely mainstreamed Rhodesian support is amongst Young Republicans. Being online as a teen, a heavily propagandized version of it was pervasive across right wing social media spheres. Its sold as a bastion of anti-communism on the surface (1/2)
The slogan is also a likely callout to this recruitment poster for the Rhodesian Army, made popular among folks who enjoy remembering Rhodesia's history as a white supremacist ethnostate which spent its entire short existence in a civil war

I do have to wonder, do any republicans realize how completely untenable this is? That they can do whatever they want to our communities and we just have to take it while the government authorizes billion dollar bail outs to theirs? This isn't a union, it's a hostage situation
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration says it's freezing child care funds to Minnesota after a series of fraud schemes in recent years.

Not to call out this poster in particular, but it really is something that all trans people are fired from the military, the NSA is purged of trans staff, and trans prisoners are facing a government policy of sexual abuse and NONE of that is at all salient to the average person who reads the news
