No pearl as perfectly round as the Venn diagram of “material conditions the right has directly created in the US” and “things the right has specifically fearmongered about ‘third-world’ ‘shithole’ countries”
Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.
How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

However poor an effort this, how laughably illegal: this is an attempt to criminalize journalism. That Black journalists were targeted to be painted as “criminals” is obvious.

I've seen fragments of this reported or mentioned elsewhere, but no one laying it out like this: newrepublic.com/article/2051...
The Oligarchs Pushing for Conquest in Greenland
Trump’s fixation on filching the island territory from Denmark may seem like the demented ravings of a mad king. But to a cohort of plutocrat weirdos, it makes perfect sense.

This is a straight-up #dungeonsynth song, like, I have heard these exact textures on dungeon synth albums. In 1986, Ray Lynch predicted the exact aesthetic that a certain type of indie game soundtrack would be going for, and he did it on an album called Deep Breakfast

Every time I look at this list of gross things Trump has said or done about or around underage girls I’m reminded of something I’d forgotten about. All of this was documented and known before the 2016 election. www.vox.com/identities/2...
Donald Trump has been making disturbing comments about young girls for years
A recently surfaced video features Trump saying of a young girl, “I am going to be dating her in 10 years.” That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

This is the book of my heart. It's a queer mother-daughter story about healing and forgiveness. It's got 18th century lit, riot grrls, and filthy weird magic.
