A republic, if you can keep it.

If nothing else good comes of the Trump era, at least the total moral bankruptcy of white American Christianity has been laid bare for all to see. Their moralistic high horse has been exposed as a fraud, and I don't see them ever regaining a reputation for decency or integrity.

Trump is turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System, or BDS. He's creating many new avenues for media companies, law firms, universities, etc to channel tribute payments as he directs. Feeding the BDS is the cost of doing business in Trump's America.

"It won't interfere with the current building. It won't be. It'll be near it but not touching it - and pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. "It's my favorite place. I love it."

Ten months to completely dismantle the US government. Who would have believed it possible. 250 years of democracy gone, burned to the ground in ten months, all in honour of a man who half the country believes is a living orange god. It's actually quite astonishing.

I got rid of my Atlantic subscription the first time they wrote a hit piece on Kamala. Watching Sally Jenkins pumping up Caitlyn Flanagan pumping up Bari Weiss reassures me my instincts were right.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."
This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.
Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

One should assume, if one had not already, that every single thing the GOP has to say about pretty much anything is a lie or fabrication.
“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Delighted that Cory is having a moment with "Enshittification," because it's an accurate word for what's happening in tech and he's the right person to describe it.

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enough— and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

The sheer amount of time and effort Trump and the entire GOP are going through to prevent the files from ever seeing the light of day is simply incredible. Whatever is in them, is bad on a catastrophic level and must involve more than Trump or even this gang of misfits would have given up long ago.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.
