I had to do a double take when I was watching masked ICE agents smash windows and tackle Charlotte residents to the ground because the scenes looked so similar to the videos I’ve been watching of IOF soldiers smashing windows and tackling Palestinians to the ground in the West Bank.

The edition that appears Nov. 24 is dominated by stories about interfaith cooperation and charitable doings, and includes a cartoon showing the dragon of intolerance being slain. (The usual diet of hard news, including crime and accidents, is still there, just played down.) 2/2

The end of dollar hegemony will transform U.S. debt from a fiscal drag into a high-yield fusion bomb.
For decades dollarization has generated structural demand for U.S. treasuries, depressing the interest rates the U.S. needs to offer to service its debt.

one thing that I think we really don't think about is if Trump fucks up America's macro privileges or role in the international system and Americans are forced to end up dealing with a economic system that doesn't allow for the same old fiscal fixes as before
god I remember the fandom Russian zoomers on Twitter during the start of the war who were either "what can I do, I can't be held responsible" or "wow it's so mean that the West sanctioned us from our favourite fandoms"

The modern GOP coalition is largely possible only because of Trump’s weird charisma. I used to think, and still on balance do, that the fundamental problem for them is that they can’t “routinize” it — transfer it to a successor or the party itself. Now in think he might destroy it before he dies.
I really think we are seeing an MTG/Funetes/Carlson alliance forming.
I love what that spells for MAGA right now, and also I have deep misgivings for what that is going to mean in the longer term

We've gone from going to war for a reason people disagree with to going to war for reasons nobody fucking knows and somehow that's possible within the same generation. Goddamnit. Fuck.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.
