I love it when a bunch of people get fired for saying “Charlie Kirk might have been stoking the kind of hate that gets people killed” and the Kill Tony guys are like “I have free speech, I can use most of the slurs”

The lyric that has stuck in my head for decades and decades and seems to suit all the more about now:
"Forget all that you're told
You are young, they are old
CONTROL is all they've got to GIVE!
Just live how you want to live!"

Is it possible that the best song about the papal conclave is from Jamaica? Is it also possible that it is the best song ever recorded? You bet it is:

Just to be clear, this means Trump’s U.S. Attorney for D.C. has fired almost every domestic violence prosecutor in the office.
And because we’re not a state, D.C.’s attorney general can’t bring felony charges against domestic abusers. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

there is a 24/7 right-wing propaganda apparatus that operates across multiple mediums and it designed to do exactly this: smother any kind of local, material concern with cultural war signifiers and cultivate a “political affiliation as team sport” ethos
Montana is the clearest place to see the nationalization of US politics. Whole Dem ticket was multigenerational MT hunters & farmers in bolo ties. Dem gov candidate owned a gun manufacturer. GOP slate was outta state tech.
Whole race was dominated by natl culture war & southern border, GOP sweep
