i really, really don't think this is the right read of Vance. he's been closely tied to the Catholic integralists and Claremont for a while now, and all of his staff are within that orbit
True, but Vance also believes in nothing. He'll go whichever way the wind blows and only cares about impressing the powerful people or seeming cool to the in groups. So in one way he's more extreme, but he actually has no real ideology. If Romney was in power Vance'd be a mormon right now.

well this is a new level of blatantly unconstitutional bullshit.
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

That's, er, more on the nose than anything I think anyone could have invented.
The leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.
How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?
According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

But they're not "infiltrating" anymore. A super fashy loser bought it and made it Home for Fascists. There is no ground to hold anymore. Give it up.

My teen friends and I had absolutely no way to contact each other when we were out for the night.
I remember several nights basically dedicated to trying to find each other in the relatively small city of Berkeley.
Granted we weren’t entirely rational on this nights.

it is rational behavior once you realize that the marginal value of a billion and one dollars is actually zero relative to one billion dollars, whereas sexual access to one's subordinates is something they highly value
I also previously thought amoral but rational capitalists used rubes by cynically deploying vicious / silly right wing ideologies. But I now think I underestimated how many true believers there are, some of the previously rational got internet brain poison, and there's been change in who's in power.
i had sincerely thought that sexism was a dying prejudice because, in all honesty, up until 2025 i also sincerely believed on at least some level that powerful capitalists with rational but amoral priorities controlled everything and understood the value women bring to the workforce
