163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history.
I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people.

We need to tax wealth, raise income taxes on the top 10%, tax all transactions, and distribute universal basic income that is indexed to 25% of GDP per capita so that it operates as a productivity growth dividend. We'd surpass Nordic levels of equality if we did this mix.

The source of Mr. Hopfer’s “information” about Jimmy Carter was almost certainly The Spotlight, a “conservative” newsletter whose circulation dwarfed that of the National Review. It was run by this neo-Nazi. bsky.app/profile/seth...
A significant number of Congressmen and their staffs have been identified as having friendly relations with a straight up neo-Nazi outfit called the Liberty Lobby, run by a man named Willis Carto who has busts of Hitler in his office. Strangely, it seems few are all that concerned. The year is 1967.

The U.S. sank the alleged narco-terrorists’ boat — and let them go
In blowing up the vessel, destroying evidence and repatriating the survivors, the U.S. cut short a process that’s helped bring down traffickers.

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos.
You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.
