incredibly, bleakly funny that trump is going after christopher wray, who spent his entire tenure at the fbi with his head down desperately trying to avoid trump's attention and did nothing to protect the bureau from trump's attacks www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Other prosecutors are investigating former CIA director John Brennan, another prominent Trump critic, and former FBI director Christopher Wray, who was originally appointed by Trump but enraged conservatives who came to believe he had wielded the bureau’s powers against them. Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

it would be so easy for all of you who put money where your mouth is over kimmel to do the right thing for trans lives. trans expression is also freedom of speech. attacks on us are attacks on you too

No clearer indication of the right’s moral rot than the swift evolution from angrily denying any association with buffoonish bigots like like Posobiec and Fuentes, to “there’s no harm in having a conversation,” to openly praising and promoting them.

Not the least surprised by this. I’d hope it might finally wake up some mainstream libertarians to what Smith is really about. But it probably won’t.

US federal employees are being deprived of income in order that a world-famous pedophile can continue to cover up the fact that he raped multiple children over decades. The press and the media are choosing the degree to which they obfuscate this.

I'm reminded of this scene I wrote in Darth Vader, which is born of me pitching "Okay - the reason Droids don't generally beat humans in Star Wars is they don't have blood, as that's where midichlorians are. So, how about syringe-powered vampire robots?" and (rightfully) being told no, kieron, no.

Page from Darth Vader 19, drawn by Salva Larocca. Triple Zero makes a speech to scare the humans attacking teh robots, claiming all the robots are definitely NOT vampires.

The frustrating part about this lie is that mutual obligations and the low rate of payment have actually been proven several times to create material barriers to this, even if 100% employment was actually possible, and under capitalism it is simply not.

What you call 'deconstruction' I call facing the truth about our history like adults. The fact that you see that as 'being always the baddies' strongly suggests you are incapable of doing that and projecting your own feelings of discomfort onto working class people.
