Things feel weird and compressed now. This quantity of overreaches and major news events begins to take on a quality of its own. It manifests as a vague but intense feeling that something somewhere has just got to give.

Tbf what he is proposing here is more than an appropriate monument to what this country has become: a ballroom for the mega rich that looms over and dwarfs all else.
REPORTER: The Capital Planning Commission is concerned the 89,000 square foot ballroom is going to dwarf the rest of the rest of the WH. Do you worry about that?
TRUMP: No no. People love the ballroom. We need it. If we would've had the ballroom today, we could've had all the oil companies there.

I think one of the great realizations folks need to have is that today the cause of liberty and the cause of tyranny are both global. We rise and fall together.
I hope the Iranians achieve their liberty. I hope we defend ours.

Last night in Tehran. We don’t need that many nights like this for the regime to fall. One or two could finish the job.

Truly same. But I also have a recurring image in my mind of a lost young man being told “read a book!” as if it’s a neutral good and blindly reaching out only to grab Mein Kampf or Beyond Good and Evil.

Looking around I’m often struck by how wildly successful the 9/11 attacks were. We continue to live in the era that they inaugurated, their consequences enshroud us even now.

We’re supposed to absorb obviously fictitious images like this as something approaching real, while also accepting as self-evident that they do not manifest in any logic of real gun violence.
As I do understand the reality of gun violence, I have long despised Rep @realannapaulina and consider her to be someone who makes America less safe. Listening to her comments today blaming Democrats for the shooting just confirms how awful she is. Anna, perhaps photos like this were a bad idea.

Like the assassinations in Minnesota, for example. It’s already on, just hard to tell how advanced it is. Our perception, as usual, is lagging behind the material reality.
i do wonder at what point this ratcheting of rhetoric about the democratic party ends up having real life effects

Yep. It’s fun reading the British historians who without all the baggage wrote a lot about the war and had zero trouble answering this question in ways that feel almost harsh to the America reader.
“was Lee or Grant a better general” is a question with an obviously correct answer that a whole lot of people get wrong
People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.

I suppose this is what seeking the Rogan of the left looks like: secretly paying a bunch of cynical influencers to be silent about a genocide.
Yo if you’re making a secret $100K a year to be silent about a genocide you’re not only not “independent” in any meaningful way, you’re also a piece of shit and should lose your audience.

The rule of law is a social construct and what many people have not understood yet is that the fascist will to power is a steamroller against“democratic norms” because they understand it’s just a construction and they are doing what they want because they are building new social reality around us.

Respectful debate: The kind that happens in an ivory tower among powerful people who don’t have to concern themselves with the opinions or well-being of the peasants.
What they want is to be respected no matter what sort of inhumane nonsense they feel compelled to defend.

I will never understand how American elites managed to convince themselves that uncivil debate — not fascism, not impunity and not widespread indifference to facts — is the defining problem of our time.

This is an honestly garbage mess age in light of their campaign’s support for the genocide in Gaza. There’s no indication that we wouldn’t still be waking up to daily headlines about children being starved with our tax dollars. Walz should be ashamed to be repeating this “we would be at brunch” BS.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

And then they’ll do it during elections when these same cities are outraged at being disenfranchised. This is gearing up for the sort of social upheaval they intend to provoke and then use as an excuse for an authoritarian crackdown.
Trump on DC: "We haven't had to bring in the regular military, which we're willing to do if we have to. And after we do this, we'll go to another location and we'll make it safe also ... Chicago is a mess. And we'll straighten that one out probably next"
