If that sounds a little weak to you, you could swap out the pickups for some EMGs (European Manufactured Guns)

If Antifa gets designated a terrorist organization, activists should just organize under a different anti-fascist banner - say, Patriots Against Fascism or PAF. Further, they could adopt other American symbols like pickup trucks. People will say “Everyone loves a PAF pickup”

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

It’s obviously a sympathetic audience on here, but everything about this makes no sense to me. Deciding this is the asset class where you’ll make a fortune, and then once you have 10x an enormous fortune, continuing to bet huge — what’s the thought process? You trying to buy a hockey team?

These are the lowest cost insurance options for a 62 year old Georgian making $65k.

2025: $228
2026: $1142

She will lose $704/month in credits because of GOP cuts to health care.

This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

A quick note about money and comedy and power.

www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s “a lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. “I also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about ‘airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”

heggseth's weird podcast rant (delivered to 800 generals and admirals for some reason) is just another sign of how this is a tv presidency. they don't really know how to do policy. their instinct is theater. encounter a problem? put on a spectacle

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

All my best to this FEMA employee, and may they succeed in their mission:

"I'M THE TYPE of person where, like, if you push me I'll push back. I don't like to live in a mindset of despair and negativity. When these people do this shit, it just lights my fire. It makes me more fucking mad. This used to be the best job I've ever had, the best environment I've ever had, the best culture I've ever had-and they fucking ruined it. I will never ever forget how much they ruined it. I'm like, fuck these people. They can't get me scared. I will not give them what they want. I will not just leave. I'm going to make it as difficult as possible for these fuckheads." -FEMA employee

The flattening of political conflict into "people I like" vs "everybody else" elides that the far-right option ("authoritarian nihilism") is actually materially worse for a lot of people than neoliberalism

I half think that even if a billionaire tax leads ultra-wealthy people to flee the country, it's probably still good on net. leaves them less able to buy the political system
