In short, it is not that they want it done, only that they could care less if the detainees are mutilated. this is possible & it’s comforting to believe that this is a case of bureaucratic fraud gone awry but given the frequency with which “the cruelty is the point” explains the actions of this adm...

it’s only an election—or two at most—before it eats most of the party. because, as olson points out, it’s not about evidence; it’s about desired outcomes that qanon provides a justification for

That was amazing. I thought I’d just give it a skim, but it was pretty comprehensive. it's remarkable how good olson is at making videos that are equal in content & production quality to something produced by a much bigger studio. i feel like in search of a flat earth could easily have been a nova ...

high recommend dan olson's new video, in search of a flat earth, on qanon as an evangelical apocalyptic cult.

No Más Bebés tells the story of a little-known but landmark event in reproductive justice, when a small group of Mexican immigrant women sued county doctors, the state, and the U.S. government after they were sterilized while giving birth at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center during the late 196...

Wooten calls a gynecologist who works outside the facility “the uterus collector.” they're butchers, mengeles, what other kind of person is going to go to work in a concentration camp? this is all extremely likely and i think it is all extremely likely to be even worse.

“F*** the police!” slogan—a slogan that sounds more like something you’d hear at a Joe Biden – Kamala Harris rally

i wish

i hope someone kills the fucker

Theory: Q is a Russian invention. i think that's not impossible. certainly foreign adversaries meddle in our social media, it's just propaganda by another name. but if you don't think americans are capable of inventing these kinds of convoluted and hateful delusions, then your politics has a real b...

i get what they’re going for here & who they say their audience is, but this is a criticism of trump from the right . taken literally the idea that “Serving the nation is the epitome of American honor”—w the key words here being “epitome” & “nation”—is at best a species of imperial nationalism & at ...

His entire life, it's been about him and only him. He is incapable of feeling anything for anyone. I just can't figure out how so many are so blind to that. trump's only ever really promised two things, that he'll punish the people his supporters hate and reward the people his supporters like. and ...

good thing max cleland isn't running, rick wilson wouldn't know what to do with himself.

During the early stages of the Roman Empire under the Princep Augustus, certain events established a destructive pattern which made inevitable the decline and fall of the empire. I chose one salient nexus point, the accidental death of the superb general Nero Claudius Drusus in the summer of 9 BCE ...

Also on my list is David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest recently i saw on twitter where a woman had drilled thru a copy of jest and turned it into a bong. it seems like the best use to which one could put that book and maybe one which wallace would've approved of. right now i'm reading lit , by mar...

(Full disclosure, I actually own a lime green T with a big pink flamingo on it. I wear it around the house because the flamingo makes me smile. But never outside because it makes me look like I just crawled out of the Thriller video.) i occasionally wear a lime green tee with white overalls. it pro...

Porter Anderson@Porter_Anderson : "This is a #Trump rally on the South Lawn of the @WhiteHouse , no other way to describe it. I've never witnessed anything like this. Almost as if he's trolling people concerned about the #coronavirus." almost? what the hell else does he think he'd be doing? he's do...

That poolboy story is something else! We love poolboys and it sounds kinda hot, but then again we dont RUN A RELIGIOUS UNIVERSITY. given that he is a nearly 60 year old millionaire president of a university w connections in the highest reaches of government & the “pool boy” was some 20-something ho...

An unhinged Trump is a beautiful thing, if convention ratings don't improve by the third night, the fourth and final night of the convention he will go full Trump on America like a bull in a china shop. i confess that some part of me wants to see him have a full on meltdown and start foaming at the...

also every bit of it looked like a parody of every low budget fascist dystopia i've ever seen

Twitter is abuzz that Junior Trump seemed high tonight. on the other hand, i've never seen junior when he didn't look high as a kite, so that could just be his natural affect (or on the third hand, he could be high all of the time) one of my favorite tweeters tweeted that the general vibe was why d...

“He had Roy Cohn call Reagan about needing to appoint a woman as a federal judge in New Jersey,” Barry told Mary. “Because Reagan’s running for reelection, and he was desperate for the female vote.” Then, she said, “I had the nomination,” and Donald Trump never let Barry forget it.

To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost, almost all of the time — and in one's work. And part of the rage is this: It isn't only what is happening to you. But it's what's happening all around you and all of the time in the face of the most ext...

(3) this is just another cynical ploy by two craven opportunists to get started writing their book about their struggles during the Trump Administration on the way to both of them getting five-figures-a-night on the lecture circuit. whatever the family dramas going on, the whole thing looks like a ...
