MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension.

She got the joke.

“even if one proceeds based on a presupposition of humankind’s ceaselessly producing changes for the worse, with Augustine one must still admit that some residue of its original goodness has to remain in human nature continually, nonetheless.”

I assume that getting steak and lobster dinners with 20,000 calories of appetizers for your whole family delivered by personal chauffeur is inexpensive again now that Uncle Joe Brandon is out of the White House at least

1 Can't emphasize this enough. EU is home to multiple "second-tier" great powers — who are only "second-tier" because they chose not to make large investments in military capabilities — and is itself an economic & diplomatic great power. NATO is the most powerful security confederation in history.
It sure seems like Vance leads a faction that is enamored of 🇷🇺's cultivated cultural conservative "soft power", reflexively anti-Atlanticist, and stupid enough to think that wedging 🇷🇺-🇨🇳 is a) realistic and b) worth trashing our relationship with the world's third largest economy.

What’s with all of the “x-coded” shit?

Poker? Video games? Weight lifting? What’s next? Eating meat?

This shit is so stupid.

I’ve been reading Liberal Currents (LC) since it’s inception. LC’s importance for me is twofold.

First, LC publishes pieces that show the variety within the liberal tradition. And second, LC has been the vanguard for reclaiming liberalism as a fighting faith.

Please consider donating.
Several new 'liberal' publications have launched in recent years, sometimes raising millions before writing a word, sometimes getting glossy profiles, then often devolving into weakness.

None of that's true about us. Maybe we should go raise at least a half million: www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...

How can ordinary people come together to protect immigrants from unjust deportation?

Throughout the 1980s & early 90s, the Sanctuary Movement illustrated one way to do this.

In a newly published paper, Karla Segovia, Molly Rovinski & I analyze this movement. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

In the 1980s and early 1990s, civil wars contributed to significant waves of migration from Central American countries such as El Salvador and Guatemala. The United States federal government, specific...

[they will never admit to being misguided]
The fascist right will never drop its anti-Ukraine stance, because they want to see Russian aggression succeed.

But can the smaller yet quite vocal anti-anti-Russia left—Chomsky, Quincy Institute, Lula, etc—finally admit that blaming the war on the US and “they won’t even negotiate” were misguided?
