Quote from Our Mutual Friend. In 1865, two years before Das Kapital, Dickens, in his own way, grasped that the point of finance was to uncouple the accumulation of wealth, land and power by the ruling class from anything of substance in the material world.
Well, I got that wrong and confused Harris and Clinton and also how Trump won with less than 50% of the vote and one of the smallest margins & smallest percentages of registered voters in recent history.
His victory wasn't a mandate & only his supporters are responsible.

Harris actually lost the popular vote, but I guess that’s my fault too

Q: The demand was to get ICE and CBP out. To replace Bovino with Tom Homan...do you think that's a satisfactory change?
TIM WALZ: "I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt. ...My hope is that Tom Homan is different...that he is a true law enforcement professional."

NEW: The Illinois Supreme Court removed Cook County Circuit Judge James R. Brown from the bench. The justices said Brown’s comments in a September blog post “clearly violate” a rule requiring judges to act in ways that “promote public confidence” in the judiciary. buff.ly/VephHAA

Ray Lopez has been gleefully MAGA - going on fascist podcasts and offering to help ICE arrest the mayor, posting a mocking comment about Good's death. And, as Kyle points out - Dems refuse to hold him accountable.
And for those who are not Chicagoans, let me be clear: this man is a Democrat. Registered Democrat, and the Democratic committeeman for his ward.
This is how he always is, and the party has done *nothing* to hold him accountable ever.

Ray Lopez is a snitch and a jagoff.
And as a reminder, THIS is what Raymond had to say about the murder of Renee Goode.
Just an absolutely rotten, vile man.

Sort of a bright spot: my timeline hasn't mentioned that one celeb's pathetic bid for redemption, either cause they haven't noticed, didn't give a shit or talked about it so briefly I didn't see it.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

On the keyboard warrior types goofy and melodramatic framing of the current protests being the same as insurgencies abroad.
In one way they are being amusingly hyperbolic, but in another most insurgencies & guerrilla wars began as regular people who wanted to live normal lives being fucked with by an intruding force until they organized out of necessity. Folkz are just finally seeing it from the side as America's victims

Funny, but hope this gets at least one particpants to rethink our antagonists in colonial wars over t 70 or so years - including Cuba - and realize they were also regular, relatable people tired of violent military assholes & willing to stand up for their neighborhoods.

To be fair those other insurgencies also began as locals protecting themselves against a malicious occupying force using BS excuses for violence.

The casual way east coast based media whitewashes Rahm's reputation is a clear argument for why the coasts should not be home to so much major media.
"And the marquee entry on his résumé is his eight years, from 2011 to 2019, as mayor of Chicago, a city that eats politicians alive. He made mistakes and enemies. They’ll come back to haunt him."

In this specific struggle will work with all on the correct side, especially those who do so out of basic decency, knowing this does not require larger alliances or trust, but maybe they will learn to change on other things.

"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
