The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."
So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

All my coworkers live in Virginia and ask me the most ridiculous questions about living in DC
“Is it bad in your neighborhood?”
“Is it weird on the metro?”
“Can you even go out at night?”
The number of nights I have staggered half cockeyed across this city
the misinformation is very real

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't.
We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

American right-wingers are mostly brain-melted freaks that desperately need to believe they belong to the dominant culture to keep the cognitive dissonance at bay.
Pointing out how far away their beliefs from the average person is incredibly powerful.

one thing about the genuinely liberal media is that it’s too focused on serious stuff. we need a media ecosystem that covers this the way Fox covers Sydney Sweeney ad hysteria

Way too many people in media are more worried about being perceived as biased against corporations than being biased in their favor.

As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.

Not a huge surprise that LLMs are making people stupider but I have to admit I'm a little shocked at how quickly it's happening

We are seven months in, and the speed with which vital civic institutions are capitulating to authoritarian demands we once would have regarded as inconceivable in an established liberal democracy is jawdropping. I hadn't thought I was polyannaish about America, but it's really stunning.

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

I've thought about this a ton over the years. It's become clear that the *primary rhetorical strategy* of reactionaries is to manipulate liberals by appealing to liberal values (free speech, good faith) that they do not share. It works, again & again & again & again.
