“But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government.”
I don’t want to sound like some pie in the sky utopian dreamer, but what if the Democrats leaned heavily into economic justice and didn’t jettison their commitment to basic human rights for all? What if they ran on BOTH?

Just as a reminder, being chummy to the new darling face of the left for half an hour doesn’t excuse or reverse the fascism and ethnic cleansing.

This is true.
You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

To be clear, a nation (other than maybe India) that allows swastikas in its armed forces is functionally a Nazi nation.
My country's "swastikas are cool" policy has people asking a lot of questions about my country already answered by that policy.

Coast Guard set to change policy to call swastikas and nooses 'potentially divisive'
The U.S. Coast Guard is poised to change some of its language and policies surrounding the display of hate symbols like swastikas and nooses as well as how personnel report hate incidents.

Before they get the spin machine going, he meant every word of it. Just like Musk’s Nazi salute was a Nazi fucking salute. He wants his loyalists to start killing the opposition. And there are plenty of them willing to do it.

This man wasn’t “found dead.” He was murdered by ICE.
A Chinese immigrant named
Chaofeng Ge died in ICE custody.
He was found hanging with his hands and feet tied behind him in the “hog tie” position.
Deaths within these camps continue to rise, with more people dying in the last nine months than in the entire previous four years.
Abolish ICE

Man detained by ICE found dead, hanging with hands and feet tied—attorney

This is not a “robot dog.” This is a military grade surveillance drone deployed domestically as part of the police state run amok.
“One of the things about the so-called robot dogs that we are a little wary of is this normalization and this sort of affectionate framing of calling it a dog,” EFF’s Beryl Lipton told @bloomberg.com. “It’s another piece of police technology.” www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...
A $100,000 Robot Dog Is Becoming Standard in Policing — and Raising Ethical Alarms
Spot, the four-legged robot from Boston Dynamics Inc., is perhaps best known for its viral dance routines to songs like “Uptown Funk.” But beyond its playful antics, Spot’s ability to climb stairs and open doors signals a potentially controversial role as a policing tool.

I don’t really comment on the NBA here, but I’m pretty sure Trae Young is best deployed as this team’s Lou Williams.

I’m unclear on why people are upset about #MLS switching to an internationally aligned schedule. Currently play starts in February. The playoffs extend through the end of November. They’re off December and January. Those are the same months of the new schedule. They just moved the “start date.”

This is an outstanding article about John Darnielle and @themountaingoats.bsky.social. It's long but it's absolutely worth your time. It's particularly good if you're a 50-something writer, but you certainly don't have to be one of those wretches to enjoy it. www.gq.com/story/john-d...
The Story John Darnielle Lived to Tell
When he was a teenager, the Mountain Goats founder never expected to live to 21. He has since become one of this century’s best songwriters. The lessons of his survival, life, and work feel endless.

Why would Senate Dems cave now rather than before?
Air traffic delays impact them. SNAP funding and access to ACA healthcare plans don’t.

I don’t know the background of this footage, but what I do know is there was a time not so long ago that footage like this would be national news.
Now footage like this is normal. It’s just another day under the Trump regime.
