"The New York I loved was vanishing. It was destroyed not in a day by the 9/11 attacks, but over years by post-9/11 greed: the soaring costs of rent, public services, entertainment, and more."

Our tax dollars should fund #SnapBenefits, not ballrooms for pedophiles. Reskeet if you agree.

which is just to say that there is nothing inherently reasonable or intrinsically "incremental" about centering corporate profits in social policy packages. that is part of the invention of centrism as a disguise for corporate violence

Ending snap forever? That is clearly laid out as a goal of project 2025 and heritage they have enacted that goal and succeeded. Snap and ebt are de facto over and done with. The fascist were not lying when they said the goal was to end the ability for people to rely on government for anything.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Hey so you know the White House and Mike Johnson have essentially dissolved Congress and their is only one functioning branch of the government, the executive, and it’s parallel fascist, militarized police force right?

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:
newrepublic.com/article/2014...
Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule
He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Very few leaders worthy of the name. Very few journalists doing journalism. Whole lot of influencers and pundits who talk a big game turned out to be studio gangsters.

Bullies thrive around cowardice and man do we have a surplus of cowards.

I suggest that Sarah Kendzior's books are a must read.

These 10 articles are a good introduction.

Article # 2 - Servants of the Mafia State
Merrick Garland, Jamie Gorelick, and the truth.

Merrick Garland was never going to do what needed to be done.
Looks like some Dem voters woke up to the fact that the party has long betraying Americans and enabling Trump. Here are some articles on why: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/ten-articl...

“They advocate the removal of almost all public officials and services, increasing the numbers of the armed forces and police, building up the capacity for repression by the powers that be, no longer public, but corporate and business. [DOGE and militia-style police (ICE)] is a trial run of this.”

There is not one marginalized, racialized, or oppressed group whose oppression or destruction is an acceptable cost for saving "democracy." Not one.

If saving democracy requires leaving marginalized people behind, that's not a democracy worth saving.

Either we all get saved or none of us do.
