is better at communist name-calling--to see how the horseshoe theory is real when anti-democratic, dictatorial rule is the common denominator between far-left and far-right?

They could say stuff like:

"Didn't know he'd turn into a Bond villain when I bought it"

"Can't afford to ditch it for an Ioniq 6 yet, but I'm working on it"

I actually know someone in this situation. They'd love to pull a Sheryl Crow, but they can't afford to...yet.

Thoughts?

I replied on Threads but will here, too. I know you can't call out the obvious pattern we're watching play out in real time, but plenty of us see it. Can we PROVE it? Nope. (See @adamserwer.bsky.social's recent mention of "plausible deniability.") But that's why it's so pernicious. I am so sorry.

This part is genius:
"What its advocates want is not a restoration of explicit Jim Crow segregation...They want an arrangement that perpetuates racial inequality indefinitely while retaining some plausible deniability, a rigged system that maintains a mirage of equal opportunity...

This was so informative! If I can mention one point of disagreement, though, it's your comment that the DEI stuff is a distraction. I think it's anything but. It's core to the agenda. Pls read @adamserwer.bsky.social's article yesterday in @theatlantic.com: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Great Resegregation
The Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are aimed at reversing the civil-rights movement.

Oh, no! Please don't, @whitehouse.senate.gov! I so admire you and your work exposing corporate capture of the courts and our political system. But I believe this would be such an error in judgment!

Am just listening to this on delay. My heart is with you, @libradunn1.bsky.social (and Officer Fanone, and @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social, and all your colleagues). I'm so, so sorry.

Thank you, @mjsdc.bsky.social. I so value your opinion and your work at @slate.bsky.social (together with @dahlialithwick.bsky.social!). I hope you're right. I'm curious to know what you think the actual breakdown will be, though. 9-0? 7-2?
