You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

Everyone one of these people has been asked to leave their home, their family, and their job to work without pay bc of the shutdown. We're better off thinking of ways to make this backfire on Abbott than to treat them poorly.

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

This is the Dark Shark Nebula (LDN 1235). This is another great object in Beverly Turner Lynd's Catalogue of Dark Nebulae.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social Democrats need progressives. Supreme Court says ok to racially profile. Hopefully, because of your privilege, ICE won't come for you. Your middle of the road-ism is killing our nation.

@lakshya.splitticket.org What do you not understand about what means something to Democrats? Get the effing gestapo gone! Supreme Court just said it's ok to racially profile. This is not America. I'm 75 and the Democrats need to fight the fucking evil. No decorum arguments!

Stephen Miller is truly one of the most craven, awful, horrifying people I have reported on in my life. It is a blight on our nation so long as he has any power.

The cool thing is once you’re registered they’ll want to keep track of who you are and make it easy for enforcement officials to single you out at a glance, so you’ll get a fancy looking armband that goes great with a wide variety of fashion choices.
