Charlie Kirk’s assassination, far-right accelerationism, and the “Years of Lead” in post-WWII Italy. History is rhyming once again, but we won’t be fooled by far-right false flags.

I wonder if a single conservative in this country is rethinking the wisdom of creating a cultural identity out of militarizing their own children.

Don’t have the MA yet but know enough history to say the Vietnam War was hugely unpopular and the American left broke with the Democratic Party because they did not want to support a racist anti-communist slaughter. Nixon won and shit got worse. Who had more power, the DNC or SDS? Smart to delete

Oh man, did anyone ever see this objectively weirdass movie? It’s from 2003 and I think I need to rewatch just to be sure it was the strange steaming pile I remember.

Despite this massive dip in profitability for the News-Press, the paper continued publishing McCaws trash narrative for years. Only now has the paper gone bankrupt, but it’s all a write off for the rightwing billionaire. She has companies that own the building and other assets.

Reporting was abysmal, slanted, and there were several examples of racist and bigoted language making the headlines, spurring protests. (Pic shows reporting done by Noozhawk, an online outlet started by the newsroom staff that left eh masse in 2006)

What Elon Musk has done to Twitter—tank it’s revenue while boosting rightwing and far-right accounts—isnt hard to understand when you look at some recent news local to me: the bankruptcy and shuttering of the once-respected newspaper the Santa Barbara News-Press…
