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

The line “vote for us or you’ll get the far right” doesn’t really work when the policies you’re enacting are barely distinguishable from what the far right propose.

Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.

that our policies are expressly designed to avoid paying people more money so we can stash it away in a few psychos' bank accounts is just so aggravating when you consider how boneheaded this is. but no lets round up 30M immigrants and impose crippling consumption taxes and see if that helps
Was reminded that Costco is treated like a woke company but in the end it is simply a corporation, just one that actually understands the value of reputation and symbiotic relationships with other businesses and it pisses off righties for doing it correctly.

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.

Establishing an authoritarian state while simultaneously destroying state capacity was never going to work; it's just going to be massively unpleasant to live through, and for those of us who aren't young it will probably consume the remaining years we have.
I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country
but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

🧵 Excerpts from the 2006 report of Canada's SARS Commission. An inquiry into the mismanagement of SARS-CoV-1, it was the most essential read for any competent IPC / Public Health professional attempting to avoid mismanaging SARS-COV-2.
