Democrats are fawning over this guy who also thinks more cops are the solution.

California is getting safer.

Homicides down 20%
Robberies down 19%
All within this year.

And we're deploying CHP officers to more regions across the state to keep this momentum going.

These are not mental health issues. They are political and social issues and this kind of thinking is the opposite side of the bad apple theory of police violence or the bone theory of racism.

This argument already bugs me. Racism, misogyny, homophobia, hate - which are behind a lot of mass shootings - are not recognized as mental illnesses. Maybe, maybe, a willing person, with a great therapist, can grow from those issues in therapy, but these shooters are not going to do that.

American liberals don't understand fascism because they can't imagine anything worse than communism. So they acede to every part of fascism except the corporatism.

Always cutting at the expense of people who need it, never at the expense of new cars or guns for the state police though.

Does anyone have a pdf of Joshua Clover's introduction to the new edition of Mark Bray's Antifa?

Thank you in advance.

This is the situation in the US too, which explains the simultaneous rise of Mamdani and Newsome.

This about face in the aftermath of November 2024 is one of the least expected I've ever seen. (His politics are still terrible, but at least he's thinking for himself now.)

If you’re mad about Dems avoiding talking about DC, you can blame the Democratic quants, as demonstrated in this memo from David Shor’s Blue Rose Research

Read a history book!!!! For fuck's sake! Learn what communism is/was! Shut the duck up about Putin and the USSR!
stevenbeschloss.bsky.social
I’m sure Trump doesn’t want to be called Comrade Trump, even though he’s assisting Putin’s desire to rebuild the USSR and he’s demanding governing ownership of the means of production. Is Comrade Trump now one of the communist lunatics he decries?

Jeffries, fascism light.
atrupar.com
Jeffries on Trump planning a military crackdown in Chicago: "We should continue to support local law enforcement and not simply allow Donald Trump to play games with the lives of the American people as part of his effort to manufacture a crisis and create a distraction because he's deeply unpopular"

What, pray tell, is an "academic hothouse"? And how do I get a job there?
radiofreetom.bsky.social
It would be a huge step forward for Democrats and for general clarity in political writing if these terms went away. These came mostly from academic hothouses.
podsekalnikov.bsky.social
The irony is that many people think academic writing is too "obscure." The reality is that journal norms have instead made the writing too formulaic and so the age of the long-form essay that explores an idea is long over and we just have boring formulaic writing without narrative.
katie-did.bsky.social
Maybe academic writing shouldn't be villainized or feared. Maybe education should be supported and promoted. Maybe- just maybe- people should be supported and helped to understand why certain language is more appropriate to be used and that it's okay to be learning and open to new ideas. Ffs.

Republicans support a Marxist pedophile. No seriously.

Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year.

Y'all this isn't sustainable.
La. regulators approve Entergy power plants for Meta’s AI data center
Louisiana Public Service Commissioners voted four to one to approve Entergy’s three new gas plants to power Meta’s largest-ever data center.

I want a presidential candidate who promises to construct Union memorials and statues all over the country.

And yeah, North and South. Blanket Virginia with statues of Thomas, who actually chose the right side.

Hell, put one of Sherman in the middle of Peachtree Park.

The algorithm doesn't know what to do with all the woman-fronted bands I listen to so it's started putting them all together, Bikini Kill and X-Ray Spex with Lauren Hill and Tierra Whack with Dolly Parton, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and Lucinda Williams.

Some people just don't know when to say "hey sorry, I phrased that weird and it was fucking stupid" and take a lump instead of doubling down. My God.

Pure exhaustion at this point. And it's only going to get worse.
