BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard has quietly enacted a policy downgrading swastikas and nooses from hate symbols to “potentially divisive.” The manual is now in effect, despite public outrage and warnings after the draft was revealed last month. (Washington Post)

I’m right here! I’m Antifa! Here I am, supporting any and all moral and democratic means to oust these fascist assholes!
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

kind of wild that speaking out loud the subtext of “a wealthy man’s money is equal to votes” is normalized to the extent that a popular democrat can say it without batting an eye
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Looking back in 3 years, we will tell ourselves how obvious it was that trumpers can’t leave office because of all the crimin’. It would be great for us all to acknowledge NOW that it is going to happen and create some paths on how we are going to deal with it all.
The good AND bad news is that Dems seem disinclined to do Merrick Garlandism all over again. But that means they’re going to have to prepare for a plot against America that’ll make the subversions of 2016, 2020, and 2024 seem quaint. www.offmessage.net/p/maga-disar...

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”

He will continue teaching.

For thirty years I worked in the post-Soviet successor states in Central Asia and observed over and over again precisely the cycle that Bill Kristol describes. Corruption leads to authoritarianism, directly. The path is utterly predictable.

When I was an organizer talking with folks about forming a union, a common refrain was people wanted management to respect them and their work. I would explain that we can’t change the bosses heart, but we could build enough power to force them to pretend.

These heinous criminals will do more crimes instead of giving up power and going to jail. They feel no shame or desire to repent. They’ll keep crimin’ until someone forces them to stop. Ultimately, the military. In a poor move, a bunch of idiots put the criminals in charge of the military.

My pitch to progressives would be that you need to think long and hard about how awful — racist, transphobic, a climate denier whatever else — you think I am and then assimilate the information that I’m a Clinton / Biden / Harris voter and Democrats need to win the votes of people way to my right!

I think Republican politicians are counting on conservative institutions like churches to feed conservative voters during the shutdown. The first time poor people come to get a meal, they will see smiles. But by the second or third they will see sneers and condescension.

Among many ways that we can predict there can't possibly be "reconstruction" at the end of this Civil War is, how the hell do you have anything resembling public health when a cult the size of Florida and Texas wants children to die of polio?
Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
