“I am not I in myself alone, but only in all others. If, then, anyone is in hell, I too am partly in hell…To see the good truly is to desire it insatiably; not to desire it is not to have known it, and so never to have been free to choose it.”-DBH

So far, no indication of wrongdoing like “knowing about the girls” or being “the only dog that hasn’t barked” but it doesn’t look good, I’ll be the first to say. As the old saying goes-“never meet your heroes”.

I’ll remember “that wasn’t real conservatism” when this BS is over. That said, my heart does go out to folks who don’t perceive how money and a scapegoat can sidestep otherwise reasonable ideas.
Ron Paul is 100% spot on.

Verification from the vaccine-denying, round earth-questioning, rejected of “the cult of science”? From a documented serial liar and fraudster?
Another normal day for the American right.
Looks like it’s going to be another perfectly normal day from the American right-wing.

Very interesting. I knew that amygdala size and response was greater amongst those on the right, which is correlated with increased threat-perception, making their immigration response a doom loop. Question is, how do we break that loop?

Remember when some hacks were saying this was all just "vibes"?

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

NOBODY talks about how alot of people survived 08 by doing so.
They're evergreen. They survive everything.

Also, with the dismantling of the DoE, ppl won't even be able to dodge the recession by going back to school.

Great Know Your Enemy interview with @lkatfield.bsky.social on her new book.

Really captures the idealism of so many MAGA intellectuals. The love of high falutin critiques of liberal rights while rarely addressing just whose rights are getting chopped.

If the Milei bailout has proven anything, it’s that Anarcho-capitalism doesn’t really exist and that markets have always needed regulation to allocate resources in a remotely desirable fashion.

The overlap between Catholicism and extreme punk is regular acts of altruism and self-flagellation…and I’m just observant enough to know that’s how I got to be the way I am 🤣😅

It’s one of many children’s books that appears heartwarming and sweet but is actually serious and subversive. Charlotte’s Web is a book about how friends can work together to protect each other from a more powerful oppressor who plans to destroy them for the money.
