they spent 4 years studiously avoiding confrontations with the supreme court because they have no interest in court reform. they’re quiet about ICE because they do not want to a single thing about it when they have power. it’s a shitty reality to confront but it is the reality.

the democrats do not have a secret agenda that you’d love that actually would do a lot to roll back fascism’s gains that also by all indications is quite popular but are for some reason saving for after the election to sneak on the public. that is not how they’ve ever operated.

I find this pretty striking - we're not even offered the standard "here's why Mamdani's victory is actually trouble for the left" kind of gymnastics, the strategy really seems to be to hope no one notices
it is wild that Labour is doing exactly what the reactionary centrists recommend and is absolutely destroying its base of support as a result, and yet reactionary centrists in the US are just utterly silent about the complete failure of their program.

Of course that's not really the full story because crypto is more powerful than ever before and controls all of Washington.
But it is certainly a scandal I've been thinking about a lot these days.

Look the last scandal I remember where everyone was implicated in all the crimes was Sam Bankman Fried and the ruling class took care of it extremely quickly by indicting him within a week and making him solely responsible for all the crimes they let him commit.

Last night about a dozen of us at NWSA gathered in Alice’s memory & it was good to be in community—to remember her as the sassy perverted bad bitch she was. Seeing the many posts about her makes her death all too real, but seeing how loved, respected & valued she was by so many has helped my heart.

I hope Alice’s memory is never sanitized. She supported free Palestine. She believed in deep pleasure for disabled people, sexual, aesthetic & otherwise. She was unflinching in calling out people’s bullshit. Don’t let the mainstream turn her into some desexualized defanged inspiration porn!!!

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

The thing about elon going to epstein island in 2014 is that Epstein very publicly became a registered convicted sex offender in 2008, 6 years earlier.
Note: Epstein set up Elon's brother Kimbal with a girlfriend in 2011, 3 years after Epstein became a registered convicted sex offender.

The US loves the John Newton story because it's fiction, it offers the comforting fantasy that evil people can become good people, overnight.
And it does not like thinking about the implications of John Brown's story.

In the popular imagining, John Newton experienced a damascene moment and wrote Amazing Grace in that instant, instantly redeeming himself. Spent the rest of his life fighting slavery, etc.
Meanwhile they don't know who John Brown is.

John Brown's story doesn't have a redemption arc. He was 100% anti-slave from the go, being a slaver wasn't on his resume.
He *didn't need* a tearful moment of mystical revelation to see that slavery was evil, or feel the need to write a song about it.
