They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

My thing with the art censorship situation is that it all needs to be able to exist. Especially the weirdo fucked up stuff that's horrible and makes you feel bad. Even the daft edgy shit you don't feel has a purpose. I trust no one to decide which art is morally ok! Certainly not corporations!

the abandonment of public education to conservative interests has been disastrous. i went to high school in texas in the 2000s, and maybe one teacher out of five wasn't a proud bigot of some stripe or other. of course it has only gotten worse.

A persistent myth is that US teachers are a left-wing monolith. It's a destructive myth.

it must be said that this is not capitalism gone wrong, this is capitalism working as intended. free markets are a policy of economic auto-cannibalism. the objective impossibility of eternal growth demands false realities to compensate, and that is a center which simply cannot hold for long.

it's been so astonishing to watch our economy abandon material reality to exclusively reflect the unfounded dreamscapes of a few rich know-nothing cultists. in a pure economic sense there literally is no future to these people. it's next quarter, next fiscal year. nothing else exists!
