as a white liberal with Southern roots, quite frankly, I think other white liberals from the South need to get the fuck over their oddly defensive attitude about what should be pretty blindingly obvious.
I understand why some white liberals from the Deep South want to insist that there isn't something distinct (and bad) about Southern political culture but the problem with this is that we wouldn't even have this idea of "The South" as distinct from the rest of the US if there wasn't a there there

hilarious to get a package stolen off your porch when that package was a copy of the English translation of Marie de France's Travels of St Patrick. Some porch pirate is trying to figure out what the hell to do with this medieval lit they took

I think the paywall has been a disaster by now
83% of US adults haven't paid for news in the last year.
About half (49%) say their main reason is they can find plenty of free news elsewhere.

There is a type of guy who commits crimes like this, and that type is almost never "orthodox marxist-leninist attempting to be the vanguard of a revolutionary movement". Much more common for it to be a "looked at computer too much" guy
its funny to be ruled by internet-brained idiots like this, when anyone with a passing familiarity of this internet political moment knew instinctively this was going to be an incoherent brain rotted gamer white boy who sees politics and violence as entertainment

Just saw a video of Bill Maher calling Mamdani a “straight up communist” and I continue to be struck by the depiction of policies associated with the New Deal Order as far-left extremism, which goes along with a refusal to depict Trump’s unprecedented authoritarian actions as far-right extremism.

I would have loved to see ian chew on some gilroy dialogue
Emperor Palpatine would have featured in ANDOR if the show had ran for 5 seasons as initially planned, says Dan Gilroy
“I can’t imagine over five years we wouldn’t have shown the Emperor at that point. I think we would have got closer to [Palpatine’s] world”

A hugely underdiscussed effect of the creeping fascism of ICE is that debt collectors and landlords are filing more cases against immigrants, even when they're inflated or outright falsified, because they know immigrants are too fearful of deportation to show up to court to fight them.

my favorite part about self described centrists is that in polls they consistently like bernie sanders more than any other politician even though he’s left wing. they genuinely think beint centrist is all about being anti-establishment and is all vibes

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

this is the most one-sided two-option poll i can remember seeing. you could probably get 10 percent of americans to respond that installing your air conditioner backwards so that cold air blows outside will fix the environment
"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?"
No: 85%
Yes: 5%
