110,100 men gave their lives in battle fighting for the Union and to defeat the Southern Oligarchs. Don’t let their deaths be in vain 160 years later. #Resist #History #USCivilWar #MartyrsForFreedom #USA

The US federal government is openly warring against its own nonwhite population in a way no one alive has ever experienced. It’s not even getting to hide it. The overt bigotry is comparable to Jim Crow. And our pathetic, cowed, putrid political class just keeps pretending it isn’t even happening.

There is no constitutionally legitimate scenario in which we are being de facto governed by the White House Deputy Chief of Staff using a half-dead president as his sock puppet. We went out of our way to amend the Constitution on precisely this point.

Reading Sedgwick's book on Traditionalism recently has confirmed for me that arguing with reactionaries about material conditions is pointless, they fundamentally do not care.

They will straight up tell you that dying of a preventable disease at 25 is better than the 'spiritual death' of modernity

That time, ~400 years ago, when Jesuits dragged a new world turkey nearly 2,000 kilometers from Goa to northern India.

Fun, but also reflective of premodern India's integration in global networks of trade and travel.

WOW!

Now they don’t want us to find out where we can get vaccinated: CDC Quietly Turned Off Its Vaccine Search Tool. It’s Not Clear When It’s Coming Back.

CDC Quietly Turned Off Its Vaccine Search Tool. It’s Not Clear When It’s Coming Back.
“I have heard that they are planning to ‘update it’ and shudder to think what that will mean,” Demetre Daskalakis, a former member of CDC leadership, told NOTUS.

The National Guard is not a law enforcement agency. It is untrained in a policing agency's standards, techniques, tactics and mission in any nation of laws. Only in a police state do officials equate military units with policing.
Did anyone ask why Trump is blaming Biden when his folks vetted and approved his asylum this year?

She was flying DOMESTICALLY. Holy effin crap.

This has the vibes of Argentina and Chile in the 1970s and I’m very serious when I say that.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.

Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.

There is talk going around that DHS is now arresting people who fly *domestically* if they have final orders of removal.

Undocumented youth should consider consulting a lawyer to find out what their record is -- especially those whose parents had prior interactions with immigration.

I keep hearing about how Dems are the party of "identity politics" and yet it's Republicans who always reach to identity for everything.

God forbid we talk about guns. There have been 452 mass shootings this year; this shooting doesn't even make the list because fewer than 4 people were shot.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

I’m mindful today of those for whom this is their first Thanksgiving without a loved one. I’m praying for a measure of peace and the comfort of beautiful memories.

It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

Russia wrote that it would not attack Ukraine in the Budapest Memorandum. We see how that went.

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

Praying for the two soldiers attacked yesterday in DC and for calm and compassion toward the tens of thousands of Afghan refugees making this country better each day.

Let us not react in a way that causes them to live in fear.

"Come one come all. Free and Equal." America was much greater when Republicans spoke like this about their fellow humans.

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.
