Yeah I bet Trump is so mad that a woman who opposes communism and chavism, promotes capitalism and privatizations, and agrees with sanctions on Venezuela and wants her country to be invaded by the US, just won. He's gotta be so mad

If an opinion disclaimer falls in a forest full of news and gets a ton of engagement clicks, does it make a sound

Idk this seems circular. Professional conservative journalism and unhinged conservative journalism seek the same destination eventually, one just stops at lights and the other mows down pedestrians on the sidewalk

I've also started to notice (to a degree I havent before) how often online print outlets, notably New York Times and The Hill, run right wing opinion articles in a way that allow them to appear on aggregates as if they are headline stories, with opinion disclaimers increasingly harder to find

Trump has unleashed ICE, but the foundations of what's happening has had the full-throated endorsement of Democrats. We are less than a year away for a Democratic campaign that argued Trump wasn't serious enough about deporting people. Why would we expect this party to act?

A fascist gestapo of mediocre white males, the longest song in history

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

this is interesting. 15 years ago the Hawks were the best team in the NHL, last year when I went they were the 2nd worst

went to my first blackhawks game last year and was mesmerized by the silence actually. no huge music, dumb sponsored prize shots, no tshirt cannon. A very non-invasive PA announcer but that was it

reminder to whomever needs to hear it/see it, medical offices and especially pediatric care locations are routinely and coolly racist spaces

I read your comment as "age: white" and I laughed so hard before realizing I misread, but I'm going to still use that

Seems like this is maybe the most unsung variable about the current job market. New grads in the pool with fully endowed professors looking to jump ship and even take paycuts

‘Fear and hopelessness’: study finds one in four professors consider leaving US south

Survey by American Association of Professors shows nearly quarter of respondents are switching due to states’s politics

also, easy to feel like Hall is looking directly at me with contempt when I read the line "there are SOME who still argue that 'worse means better-- i.e. a sharpening of the contradictions"

Quiz: Did Stuart Hall write "The Great Moving Right Show" in 1979, or did he write it yesterday?

I intend to!

I thought people were exaggerating, but no, it really is the case that liberal politicians posting platitudes about the Nazi Youth youtuber never posted anything about Melissa Hortman
