For a hot minute I was a libertarian. Far before (almost) anyone I know here knew me. This entire thread tracks.
this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart
1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks
2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

I've said it a million times. Conservatives love America but hate Americans.
To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

This is why I think @profmsinha.bsky.social's framing around the Second American Republic (read the book, ok) is so important. If we're lucky, we'll soon begin a third Reconstruction and Fourth (by my reckoning) republic.
I feel like the illusion of continuity through the civil war, reconstruction, jim crow, and the civil rights struggle is a weird kind of American exceptionalism. we are *not* in many deep and fundamental ways, the nation of the founders bsky.app/profile/amun...

I am increasingly convinced that of all the sci-fi visions of the future I've read that Jonathan Lethem's "Gun With Occasional Music" is the most prophetic.
There's a ChatGPT ad about a family farm where the owner says her family has been doing this for a hundred years and she doesn't want to be the one to screw it up and that's why she's getting advice from ChatGPT and, my God, can you people hear yourselves?

Maryland. Hands-down.
Massholes about to sweep this event until weโve poured enough money into Boston transit that nobody in the city is allowed to own a car
coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

Islam came to British America, and the United States, on slave ships. He the Congresscritter should show some damn respect. Muslims helped win our independence. They helped build the damn country.
This kind of blatant Islamophobia from members of Congress is so normalized that it barely attracts notice. It should not be acceptable to any of us.
