yeah, back when Glenn Beck was the biggest thing on fox news they were really hyping up, from what I remember, a really silly conspiratorial version of it. It was Obama's super secret plan

Really nice of dems to give them the time and space they needed to do this
At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

Am I misunderstanding this or is this just like how private equity buys controlling interest in a company, then forces the company to pay management fees/rent for equipment and facilities? Is open ai just sams's personal vehicle for semi legal scams?

My take on all the Trump genuflection:
Once you have convinced yourself you can stay silent on a genocide unfolding live on your phone, you can stay silent/make peace with pretty much anything.
Israel has blown a massive hole in our moral universe and now pretty anything can drive through it.

For @theguardian.com I wrote about how Gaza has split the academic field of genocide studies.
As one scholar put it, “Where can the field stand if scholars from within and around it are unwilling to call the behaviour out?”
My latest.

Defining genocide: how a rift over Gaza sparked a crisis among scholars
New reports by human rights groups use the term to describe Israel’s offensive. The debate has fueled a brutal division among those who study mass violence

I love how the only successes this administration has is these few bits of legislation that pundits talk about as if they were passed in their original form, and not the hacked apart mess of tax cuts and giveaways they became

There is no such thing as "bidenomics," it's just a marketing term used to put a positive spin on thin gruel his admin thought we deserve.

Bidenomics Was Wildly Successful
The president’s domestic record wasn’t just extraordinary. It might put Democrats back in power in four years.

How long did it take for trump to get rid of bannon? I think musk has less self control and is less socially adept than him. I bet musk will be gone in less time, or there will at least be some sort of blow up and reconciliation

This should be considered part of biden's disastrous legacy - an bipartisan consensus around the repression of and retaliation against organized dissent.
Columbia University staff are being suspended and terminated for participating in last Spring's Gaza Solidarity Encampment, even if they were off the clock at the time. Similar cases are being seen across the country.

All working-class people know that we are getting fucked - and the recent spotlight on healthcare has allowed just a small bit of this anger to explode into the open.
The response from Democrats? To chastise their own base while Trump rallies to slash social programs + roll back basic rights.

d electeds have done a great job of normalizing the sort of stuff trump likes (fascist border panics, censorship, brutalizing protestors) so it's not much of a surprise that people are looking forward to the pure stuff, undiluted by democrats lifeless salesmanship

He is uniquely terrible at political analysis which is really funny when you consider he works at some kind of think tank. He must have some serious guard rails imposed on his work by some manager because when left to his own devices ...

If we had this conversation a couple of months ago rupar and his ilk would have written us off as trump supporters. Now is never the right time for people like him
all i'm saying is it would've been nice to have this healthcare policy discussion *before* we gave a trifecta to the party that tried to strip coverage from tens of millions of people last time they were in power
