"The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends, 'T is not too late to seek a newer world." We need not always mourn what is dying. Fairly erudite. More than fairly iconoclastic. I adore Jade.

To all who watch America from afar,

Please learn from this.

Please root out your evil and do not coddle or celebrate it.
Please rein in your rich and please lift your poor.
Please remember that hate is a drug, and to guard against both its suppliers and addicts.

Please be free while we are not.

They can't not be.

The whole impetus for their destruction of all things good and holy is that there's a black hole of needy self-loathing where their souls ought to be.

Me, sitting back and opening a candy bar: "Okay. What's working?"

Dear Donald Trump,

No matter how many masked thugs you send into American cities, I promise that your teeny peen will never grow a single millimeter.

again, it’s an open secret in DC that basically all of the GOP staff class are unabashed (literal swastika flags in their cubicles!) Nazis

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

"You can't stop us from oppressing you without discriminating against us" is a helluva white supremacist catch-22.

Listen to how casually Justice Gorsuch presents as fact the idea that remedying racial gerrymandering requires racial discrimination.

The federal government steals from you, jacks up prices on everything you have to purchase, sends masked thugs into your streets to kidnap your neighbors, and then gifts $40 billion of your tax dollars to Argentina to bolster their dictator's collapsing right-wing economy.

Fuck all these bastards.

Soooooo... why did the Federal Government need to launch an assault on supposedly antisemitic university kids?

Oh, that's right. Because they were brown and didn't like that the fascistic Netanyahu regime was committing a genocide.

THESE kids that Vance DOES like are white. So no harm, no foul.

Old enough to remember when kids being anti-semitic was the basis for a federal government assault on higher education

Every once in a while, I'll run across some media of little Ben Shapiro trying to act tough, and it never ceases to make me laugh and laugh and laugh.

The fight here with Gorsuch and Kav vs Nelson is whether the "use" of race automatically means "discrimination" on the basis of race.

That's interesting to me, because it's basically the white folks telling on themselves. They cannot see a "use" of race that isn't synonymous with discrimination.

Nelson: "Section 2 requires neither a confession, nor an accusation of racism. It looks only at results."

This should be the winning point, but it won't, because Republicans.
