The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

The connection between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is no accident, but reveals a deep logic at the heart of reactionary politics.

It's white supremacy and eugenics all the way down
It’s not even “are these people racist?” It’s “do these people have any beliefs at all besides white supremacy?”

Much-needed analysis of the uses of moral panics by conservatives: to undermine collective efforts for investments in social services. The latest is to provide cover to disinvest in childcare (forcing women back into the home) and push racist narratives (fueling their anti-immigrant hysteria)
"These attacks are baseless, racist, and despicable. And yet, they’re taking a page out of the same moral panic playbook the GOP has been running for decades to undermine public investment in childcare and achieve its broader (and often misogynistic) policy aims."

The Trump administration paused child care payments to multiple Minnesota day cares following allegations that they improperly collected millions of federal dollars, the latest federal action against the state as it grapples with investigations into fraud in its social welfare system.

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.
Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

there is no moral universe in which someone who ran on QAnon and supported a coup is pro-democracy, and if there is, it’s worse than worthless
The pro-democracy movement needs to include factions which we disagree with vehemently on all other matters.
That’s the point of a pro-democracy movement—we aren’t aligned on the direction of our society, but we all agree we should have a right to contest it freely and fairly.

The “fun” thing about the kennedy center freakout is that conservatives have been carving out “creative” exceptions to anti discrimination laws so they can be bigots to ordinary people just trying to make a purchase, but if actual artists don’t want to perform for the god king they must be punished

And as @quinnslobodian.com shows, the conservative movement has tried to naturalize this inequality to make it appear that policy can't fix it. Non-white people just aren't biologically capable of achieving wealth, status, and power.
Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

They really are just making sh*t up to ensure past, present, and future white people aren't asked to account for or remedy the impacts of racial discrimination. They're just trying to apply orginalism to people's actions now
Once you’re an American citizen, you are in fact free to spew venom or shower praise on your American ancestors, no matter how much the pathetic legal hacks rationalizing the MAGA madness might contort themselves.
There’s no two-tiered citizenship here and anyone who insists otherwise can get bent

Originalism but applying it to people
They're desperate to rationalize "heritage American" as if it's some serious intellectual theory and not a white nationalist twitter meme. Which doesn't work because it is, in fact, just a white nationalist twitter meme.
