if nearchus of elea has a million haters, then i am one of them. if he has ten haters, then i am one of them. if he has only one hater then that is me. if nearchus of elea has no haters, then that means i am no longer on earth. if the world loves nearchus of elea, then i am against the world.

Right now we are at the nadir - so far - of Trump’s second term, as his catastrophic authoritarianism boils into death and chaos in the streets and the wreckage of our institutions is all around. If you’re not able to say “You know, I’ll be voting Democrat in 2028,” we need to have a blunt chat.

they're calling it the most bluesky reply of all time (to the idea that it's baby-brained decadence to say a politician's job is to "delight" you before you're willing to vote for them)

What empire did Sparta have? Sparta's military existed mostly to keep their slave population under control. They hegemony after the Peloponnesian War lasted only 30 years. They then got obliterated by the Macedonians, turning their town into a tourist attraction for the Romans.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

The virulent opposition to Bidenomincs from the owner class is all right here.
The people shitting on it from other classes significantly helped owners reassert total dominance.

Let’s Make MAGA un-American, finally.
I wrote about the conflict over national identity, the need to reclaim patriotism from the Right, and the struggle between two traditions that are both authentically American:
White male supremacy vs. the egalitarian promise of democratic pluralism.

What is “Un-American”?
We must acknowledge America’s history of state authoritarianism and racial violence – but also dare to claim its aspirational tradition. Make MAGA un-American, finally.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Moxon is a fucking moron and his popularity will never fail to astound me. Great I’ll just get to the council of democrats who make these decisions and tell them to nix Newsom and also send you a box of chocolates and a card calling you the most handsome boy.
The reason people are concerned about lefties saying “I won’t vote for a moderate Dem” isn’t because they want Newsom. It’s because lefties keep not voting for moderate Dems!
I think all the scolding about it being years til the primary would hit a little harder if WE DIDN’T JUST GO THROUGH THIS

I hate the take I see periodically float around that "it would have been better for Trump to win re-election in 2020 so that Democrats could be in office now"
A) you do not know that and
B) Biden's administration did a lot of really, really good things

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.
