Debbie Wasserman Schultz called Maduro's capture "welcome news" but criticized Trump for "apparently failing to notify Congress beforehand".

This is the neoliberal position in a nutshell: Substantively fine with regime change and imperial power projection, just mad about process.
House Democrat calls Trump's Maduro capture 'welcome news' as left labels it 'illegal'
Most Democrats are blasting the Trump administration after the U.S. conducted an operation to capture Venezuela's leader, Nicolás Maduro.

Literally yes, in the sense that the Roman senatorial class owned or invested in the commercial farms and industrial processing and shipping operations that produced and distributed olive oil.
Were the Senators also de facto employees of like Big Olive Oil i wonder

there is a true nap and a false nap. the false nap is scheduled. a true nap must be taken when necessary. the false nap is timed. a true nap must be unfettered. the false nap's goal is to return to work. a true nap's goal is to play within the mind

Because auto dependence is the main interface between ordinary people and the carceral state, this rolls back policing. It is part of a series of steps to take traffic enforcement away from them and replace it with something less carceral. But the social ideology of the motorcar is strong.

I read a book on making money in ancient Athens recently (by Michael Leese, it's great), and the Greeks absolutely believed that the endless pursuit of wealth was a serious moral defect and personality issue no different than being a drunk or sexual deviant.
If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

I've lived in the suburbs for about five years now and I'm increasingly convinced that it's the most culturally pathological category of American life - full of addiction issues, white-collar crime, and above all, mediocrity masquerading as accomplishment and virtue. That last part is what I hate.

We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society formed upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution.

Mamdani went to a small college similar to the one where I work and majored in Africana Studies. From now on my answer to the microaggressive question of “what can one (even) do with a Black Studies degree from a liberal arts college?” is “You can run New York.”

Thinking about this Deleuze meme as I measure my support for Graham Platner. I still think he the correct choice, because of what he can do - not because of his identity

NEW: Graham Platner Soldiers On

From my vantage on the ground here in Maine, rumors of Platner's demise have been greatly exaggerated. I've seen many campaigns implode in my 15 years covering national politics — none looked like this. www.midcoastvillager.com/news/politic...
