People writing about politics during Bush II noticed the EXPLICIT influence of Strauss and Schmitt - fascists - on the politics of the GOP and the president. Shops like the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation and Focus On The Family were in full swing. Were people asleep or something

Uninterested in retcon for idiots to memory hole torture memos and extraordinary rendition and open segregationists and gleefully lying our way into a war that killed a million or so

Remember: You can't force a site or service to treat minors differently than adults without requiring EVERY USER to establish whether they're an adult. Which is, inherently, a deanonymization mandate, because to verify age, you must verify identity.

if federal and state governments can find the time and funding to build alligator alcatraz in 8 days—they can do the same to build adequate emergency shelter for our country’s first indigenous climate change refugees in western alaska

DARVO by proxy. fuck.

Great news! We have built the Blackmail Machine from the classic sci-fi short story, "Help, The Blackmail Machine Is Selling My Sex Dreams to Stephen Miller"

The servicemembers who are conducting these strikes need to be told, explicitly, by Dems in Congress that they have criminal liability, because they do

One thing that I’ve come around on in comics is it used to seem corny and childish that a bunch of guys would call themselves the Legion of Doom and meet in an old castle where they’d be like ”hiss let us defeat the ideas of hope and love hiss” but that’s what they’re actually doing in real life lol

I did a back-of-the-napkin analysis of my no car vs with-car life. Investing my net savings I could retire 15 years earlier (50 instead of 65) and live 5 years longer (based on a conservative mortality rates for a no-car lifestyle). This brought it home why I became a Planner—fix this mess.

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.
