Tbc, I'm blocking all fake leftists who refuse to grapple with our country's well established racism & misogyny & hide behind "economic anxiety," which it was never about, not in the 1930s, 2016, or 2024, & I'm not putting up with anyone who pretends otherwise. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

It's also incredibly de-humanizing. It turns everyone into pawns with zero agency of their own.

I've just accepted that a lot of people simply want to see the world burn down because they're resentful that life sucks. It's why they hate reformists with such a passion.

The common belief that everything boils down to class is so fucking infuriating. So many sexist and racist "leftists" hide behind "no war, but class war." And think that makes them better than everyone else.

This is because the left treats feminism—and particularly feminist critiques of sexuality and sexual exploitation—with contempt, not as a serious and necessary intervention but ad a bourgeois affectation at best and as a betrayal at worst. But you’re not ready for that conversation!!!
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

In Kenner, Louisiana, ICE was captured on video kidnapping and vanishing two children who were walking to school. Additionally, the area reported that 40% of its Hispanic students were missing from schools. (December 12, 2025)

A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

I thought I lost what faith I had in traditional academia long ago, but seeing an institution let the most brilliant, generous, and passionate teacher I've ever met go after twelve years of dedication is both infuriating and devastating. so yeah folks, hire my wife @counterfactual.bsky.social please

@dieworkwear.bsky.social this seems like a gift for you.
This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
Here he is taking the photo.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Dictators like Trump depend upon fear to enforce loyalty. Once defections start, it can be hard to get people back into line.

In the last month or so, we’ve seen defections from MTG, all of Congress on Epstein and leaders on Venezuela, and Indiana on gerrymandering.

That’s a sea change.

The regime can still do an incredible amount of harm while they’re in power. And, they are in some ways at their most dangerous when they’re at their weakest.

But, we should all take courage from their failures and the many cracks in their coalition. If we keep pushing, we will win.

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked.

They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them.

They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.
