tweet from Lauren @NotaBigJerk "I'm not falling for that hot take. That's clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at. I refuse to participate in that kind of perversion"

i'm pretty sure i repressed the memory of these books

these days i'm haunted by this one from 2020
The cover of an adult coloring book titled "Hot Cup of Joe: A piping hot coloring book with America's sexiest moderate, Joe Biden." The cover features a lean, muscular, white-haired man in a tight-fitting polo, holding a cup of coffee in one hand while using the other to lean against the countertop of what appears to be a 1960s diner. The figure is intended to be identifiable as Joe Biden via his signature aviator sunglasses and side-swept haircut; however, their combination with the figure's rictus grin is more strongly reminiscent of The Corinthian of Gaiman's Sandman series.

(Jean-Pierre, who served for more than two years in her role, which consisted of defending the Administration to the press and explaining its policies, also blames the Democratic Party because it “couldn’t articulate the achievements of the Biden/Harris administration well enough.”)

It's a really bad joke considering she subsequently doubled down by calling concerns about Nazi tattoos "hall monitor liberalism"

Again, "Strasserism bad" is a good litmus test
Tweet from Emma Vigeland: "Censorious, hall monitor liberalism that refuses to accept growth in people -- unless you're a corporate centrist and all is forgiven, just ask Cuomo supporters -- is far more of a threat to the Democratic Party's chances in the future than anything dug up on Graham Platner."

i wish i still believed in hell, because that's where every ice agent belongs.
"They put her in hand shackles and in leg shackles, and around the waist as well, like she's some hardened criminal. She had tears streaming down her face, and she told me one of the ICE agents pulled out his cell phone, laughing, and took a selfie," May said. CBS News Los Angeles has reached out to both ICE and the Department of Homeland Security for further information on the incident. May said that they told his wife she was arrested for missing a court date regarding her status in 2019, something he says they were completely unaware of.

Doug's Substack is a wonderful case study in how important lying by omission is to reactionary centrism's fascist project.

Here, Doug is in such a hurry to sanitize CK as just a 1A debate bro that he skips over Kirk's role in vetting Trump staffers and... *checks notes*... ferrying people to Jan 6
(From ABC news) The shooting had rattled most everyone inside the White House. Shock, anger, sadness, disbelief were words used by multiple senior sources inside the West Wing, ABC News' Katherine Faulders said. Though Kirk was not a White House staffer, he was a constant and visible presence at the White House, she reported. Kirk, who was known as the "Trump whisperer," was deeply involved in vetting top positions for the administration since the election and was in constant communication with top advisers and the president himself. (From the Daily Dot) "The historic event will likely be one of the largest and most consequential in American history,” Kirk wrote. “The team at @TrumpStudents & Turning Point Action are honored to help make this happen, sending 80+ buses full of patriots to DC to fight for this president.” Screenshots of tweet from Mikael Thalen quote tweeting Charlie Kirk on Jan 9, 2021: "In the wake of the Capitol riot, Charlie Kirk has deleted a tweet in which he discussed sending '80+ buses full of patriots to DC to fight for this president'"

No one in their right mind ever expected Trump to stop the genocide, dolt. Biden and Harris had all the power and intel they needed to end it. Instead they spent more energy putting up a charade to *pretend* they were ending it, while actively giving Trump the power to escalate it.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And, Hala, I wanted to ask you — it wasn’t until earlier this month that Secretary of State Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin sent Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a letter threatening to cut off U.S. military assistance if Israel does not boost humanitarian aid to Gaza in the next 30 days. What’s your response? HALA RHARRIT: Thank you, Juan, for highlighting that. I can tell you, as someone that worked within the State Department PR machine, that this, unfortunately, is a public relations ploy. I am sad to say it, but it’s the truth. It is conveniently 30 days, marking the time after the election. Also, it was conveniently leaked. It’s not typical for a statement like this to be leaked to the press, but it was. The reality is that the State Department and the administration at this point is trying to give voters, especially those that are so concerned about the conflict in Gaza, some level of hope: “As long as you vote for us, after this 30 days, we’ll enforce the law, and we will make a change.” This is absolutely a deception for the voters and for the American people. We don’t need another 30 days. We have had ample evidence from within the United States government, not just the State Department, but a multitude of U.S. agencies, with proof that Israel is violating so many of our laws, is systematically withholding humanitarian assistance from going in. As was mentioned in the report, as well, Leahy vetting is being violated, with army units determined to have committed gross human rights violations. We need to take action, and we should have taken action months ago. This 30 days is only a PR ploy, and that is the only thing it really is.

"idk why you care about your brother's corpse" is a horrifying quote out of a diseased ideology embodied by an army of rapists

It is also the accidentally perfect articulation of the worldview of every liberal who spent the last two years insisting that opposition to genocide is "purity politics"
[Excerpt from The Guardian] Daniel Raab shows no hesitation as he watches footage of 19-year-old Salem Doghmosh crumpling to the ground beside his brother in a street in northern Gaza. “That was my first elimination,” he says. The video, shot by a drone, lasts just a few seconds. The Palestinian teenager appears to be unarmed when he is shot in the head. Raab, a former varsity basketball player from a Chicago suburb who became an Israeli sniper, concedes he knew that. He says he shot Salem simply because he tried to retrieve the body of his beloved older brother Mohammed. “It’s hard for me to understand why he [did that] and it also doesn’t really interest me,” Raab says in a video interview posted on X. “I mean, what was so important about that corpse?”

As a Teamster, I didn't think it was going to be possible to see a union president be a bigger embarrassment by way of open fascist collaboration, but here we fucking are I guess. Thanks for selling out every other worker under the sun.
Strasserism (German: Strasserismus) is an ideological strand of Nazism which adheres to revolutionary nationalism and to economic antisemitism, which conditions are to be achieved with radical, mass-action and worker-based politics that are more aggressive than the politics of the Hitlerite leaders of the Nazi Party. Named after brothers Gregor and Otto Strasser, the ideology of Strasserism is a type of Third Position, right-wing politics in opposition to Communism and to Hitlerite Nazism.

Never forget how Bush was so fixated on perpetrating collective punishment on Afghanistan that he turned down the chance to bag Osama a month after 9/11, just because he didn't want to be slowed down by things like "evidence of guilt."

So yeah, "bloodthirsty genocidal monster" is the right term
President George Bush rejected as "non-negotiable" an offer by the Taliban to discuss turning over Osama bin Laden if the United States ended the bombing in Afghanistan. Returning to the White House after a weekend at Camp David, the president said the bombing would not stop, unless the ruling Taliban "turn [bin Laden] over, turn his cohorts over, turn any hostages they hold over." He added, "There's no need to discuss innocence or guilt. We know he's guilty". In Jalalabad, deputy prime minister Haji Abdul Kabir - the third most powerful figure in the ruling Taliban regime - told reporters that the Taliban would require evidence that Bin Laden was behind the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US, but added: "we would be ready to hand him over to a third country".

By far my favorite reporting so far comes from Reuters' casually acknowledging that while there's no official motive identified yet, there's at least one extremely valid candidate hanging overhead
