Actually read and be open to having your priors challenged rather than arrogantly lecturing people from a place of anti-intellectualism.

trump won two elections because he convinced a shitload of people to vote for him.

believing anything else is willful ignorance that will only hurt you.

We care a lot about the worlds we get to celebrate, and Secret Lair x Monster Hunter didn’t quite come together the way it should have. We hear you, so we’re heading back to the drawing board to rework this Superdrop. More to come.

I'm realizing how much the American Revolution was a war of conquest.

American builds it's "Noble Lie" on the idea we are not conquerors like the decedent Euro powers... and while it is obvious that is not true in the 19th century; I had never considered that it was invalid from the start. #HATM

I fear that liberals may be deeply misunderstanding fascism and its goals and strategy
Trump appointed Harmeet Dhillon to the Justice Department so she could own the libs and sue DEI out of existence. But she is a bad lawyer! And her utter incompetence is the main reason why a conservative Trump judge just struck down the racist Texas gerrymander. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Incidentally, there’s no such thing as ‘ebhebephilia’ in the sense of a paraphilia. That’s just normal human sexuality.

It’s 2025 and American liberals are staking out the rational centre claim that 15 year olds having sex is the same as 5 year olds having sex

The Supreme Court applied the Charter. Politicians answered with fear mongering, Charter-bashing, and even calls for vigilante murders. These politicians care more about scoring political points and undermining the rule of law than protecting kids:

Mutual aid should be a threat to the state, not a substitute for its “failures.” It is saying “the state does not do this & will not do this because it is built to oppress & exploit.” Mutual aid is a radical act of caring for each other outside of those systems of oppression.

If I had a time machine I would go back to Germany in the 1930s so I could smugly chastise the people celebrating Hitler's death, from being killed by the other time travelers.

Sorry, but a march that made no demands and attempted no disruption of standard business can't under any reasonable measure be called "push(ing) back"
Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Why would they respond to people in frog suits who were doing nothing material to obstruct the fascists’ goals?

Within two years of winning freedom from the King, Americans would engage in a war of expansion to impose themselves like monarchs upon the lands of Native peoples in the Midwest.

They were opposed to the King not because they were against oppression but because they wanted greater freedom to oppress Native and Black peoples themselves.

Patriots in 1776:
"[The King is] raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands [...] and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."

The Daily is committed to sanitizing Vought and ignoring what they regard as unsavory ideology. Because engaging with what is actually animating Vought would make it very hard to uphold the “normal politics” framework that defines much of mainstream political journalism.

Conor Gearty died a month ago yesterday. He was deeply committed to human rights law without idealising it. He recognised its power & value while acknowledging its limitations (& those of the people engaging with it). He was also an exceptional lawyer. This is a fitting final piece in the @lrb.co.uk
