Dear West:

It was a great five-hundred year run.

Luv alwayz,

Beneath Trumpism is a uniquely American alchemy that turned a multi-generational crime into a “way of life."
Her example of Baltimore is both bizarre and offensive. The city was ground zero for blockbusting, the ever-so-helpful practice of selling a home to a black family for peanuts, which then led to a cascade of whites out of the area. Presto. You now buy white homes for peanuts and sell dear.

One goal of the U.S. Constitution was to allow the gum'mint to reach citizens directly, with no need to proceed through the states. Hence, selective service and federal taxes.

Of course, there is always the doctrine of "interposition" to fall back upon. John C. Calhoun would approve. Maybe.

Decided to Washington Post/NYT your threads, eh? Bezos will never love you, though.

It's been a while since I've been there, but the Prairie Path (converted from old rail lines) goes pretty close to that section of DuPage. Parts of it are quite beautiful.

The strange career of Leo Strauss from "classical" academic political philosopher to the engine of a "smash the state" ideology that he expressly disavowed. Echoes of Rushdoony.

Life is easier when you don't remember why you did what you did, when you did it, or who it affected.

1. Numerousity: There are numerous people that ticked plaintiff off and should pay through the nose.
2. Commonality: Plaintiff was consistently hurt by the defendants and ticked him off really, really consistently.
3. Typicality: See #2.
4. Representative: Plaintiff is great at representing himself

The Libertarian Party exists to help well educated, wealthy elites express the language of the Neo-Confederacy in the idiom of the Chicago school of economics. Jim Crow for Chardonnay sippers.

Or maybe we're at the cynical stage in the life of a republic: "All institutions are about power; 'Law' is merely a rhetorical tool the elites use to hide that fact; now I am here to represent us/our interests by playing their game when useful to our movement and dispensing with it when it is not."

Allan Bloom, or maybe it's Harold Bloom, is rolling in his sepulcher.

Literally the 19th c. argument against labor unions (resuscitated like a vampire for the post-Reagan Age): they are criminal "combinations" that prevent capital from using the moral dread of starving dependents against the working class.

The Gilded Age gifts us again.

Is putting a giant "X" on top of a building in a city that 42% of the country would love to bomb a good idea?
