There are a lot of people who are confidently proclaiming the “end of the backpack” without considering that strapping things to your back is a convenient way to move them from one place to another

It’s a way for elites to displace responsibility for their own failure to act onto the unwashed masses (who have in fact consistently acted with far more bravery and integrity than university presidents, CEOs, politicians, etc)
The idea that Americans are unusually quiescent is a weirdly load-bearing and ideologically widespread position, one that has survived multiple massive protest waves and visible community organizing in the face of violent state repression with nary a ripple. It's really odd
I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history.
The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

They think it excites people, which is all they care about.
So an officer has his phone out recording obviously distracted, shoots a woman and calls her a “f’ing Bitch” and they think that HELPS the case?!?

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.
