The emergence of the post-literacy world is accompanied by the rise of Medieval Peasant Brain, a mental soup of superstition and magical thinking... We see this most clearly in the mainstreaming of xenophobia, conspiracies, quack medicines, and naked fascism.

One of the telling sidebars of 2024 was Walz getting the VP nod and House Rs instantly launching investigations into his "ties to the CCP" and fraud in Minnesota.

This is what I meant w my NYPost take. This is how they cover Dems they don't like: Just pound him for anything and wreck his image. Stuff like de Blasio's chronic lateness became nationally famous (repeated by Dems!) bc the Post made it famous.
But he didn't have shooters like Mamdani does.

But step back and look at the machinery and you see how sturdy this media/WH infrastructure is. If they want to make a humiliating Democratic scandal the biggest story in the country, they can do it. Dems who think it'll go away if they "win" with local media are going to lose.

This conversation goes to familiar territory. Soon, influencers ask whether Melissa Hortman, the Democrat assassinated earlier this year, was killed to cover up the fraud. This is an insane allegation. At least one MN GOP senator says: Knock this off.

To me, this is impressive. This is what we should be doing here EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
I feel we are worth it - you, me, our children, everyone as well as our planet that they are destroying.
Who would commit to this?

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

Bernie is spot on with this. Most people have no idea what these data centers impact. It is HUGE and negative all around (with exception to the oligarchs wallets)
All of you who needed to “research” at election time, THIS is what you need to research right now.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.

The case that phrase comes from wasn't about yelling fire in a theater. The defendant was advocating against the WW1 draft. Court decided that the govt's national security interest exceeded his right to speak his mind. Also that the national security interest was whatever govt says it is.
