A lot of my boys write for Liberal Currents, and if you're going to give your money to something besides Ukrainian Military units so they can kill Russians—you should actually give them money.
It's very much worth having a liberalism that's confident in itself.

Larger media outlets have wavered since the first Trump term, but we've remained steadfast in our categorical rejection of MAGA in all its aspects and our affirmation of liberal democracy and the principles that it rests on.

We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)
I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.

Just want to remind everyone that Mike Flynn told a crowd of rabid QAnon troglodytes in no uncertain terms that the military should conduct a coup in order to reinstall Trump as an unelected dictator, and he never once was subject to the penalties that the UCMJ demands for that sort of thing

I think often about how we fought in Afghanistan for 20 years and most Americans don’t have the foggiest idea that a defining part of the challenge for those who served was a culture that enables the widespread systemic rape of young boys.
My infantry Bn had a really hard time parsing the gender and sexuality issues of Southern Helmand.
When people say, "you wouldn't want a 'purple haired gender studies major' in the Marines" I reply "YES we desperately needed them!" We had teams of anthropologists who published studies for us.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

I think Deng Xiaoping's real ideological commitments were made manifest in 1989, when he sidelined the liberals within the CCP and crushed the student and workers' movement, bringing to a final, definitive conclusion the "Long Chinese Revolution" which began with Xinhai Revolution (1911)
So very much unlike Lee Kwan Yew - another favorite of these types - I think Deng Xiaoping gets a lot less credit for "Dengism"

it's wild to think that about one CEO ago ago, people were looking at Google and Apple as brands they wore in their personal lives as badges of honour and in the space of less time than it takes a cicada to mature the consensus is now that they are the enemy of public safety
it is absolutely the tech companies fault that people now assume they’re doing something evil and sneaky even when they actually aren’t (regarding the latest Google kerfuffle)
like, no kidding that people have zero willingness to cut big tech the benefit of the doubt anymore

I've been soft-estranged from my dad ever since I overheard him saying I was a naive fool for calling USAID's destruction a horrible sin, because natural selection needs to do its job or something.

I also block anyone disphitted enough to blanket condemn USAID - no, you do not have to hand it to mass-murdering ghoul Elon Musk, actually
I have heard this a lot whenever anyone posts about USAID, and I’ve just decided that anyone who badmouths USAID gets blocked on sight. Life is too short.

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.
We came to LA as refugees from the USSR in 1991. Life wasn’t easy, but we persevered and, I dare say, came to contribute something of worth to this nation.

Posts like this are instructive, because regardless of what you think of Biden, if you're using "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as an insult in 2025 as a person nominally on the left, it is pretty clear your disagreement with Trump is based on aesthetics and not anything he's doing or has done
The most damaging article about Bidens mental health was the sub downing piece in 2020, as it showed this was already there.
Bidens debate performance was so damning anyone trying to sell the idea there was a path to victory for him is blinded by TDS.
He was on track to risk NJ before the debate.

Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!
