I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

This is literally it.
I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon

This implies that the only real “everyday Americans” are those who aren’t affected by identity issues - white men. Also, all politics are identity politics, fight me
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25

I'll never forget @stephenshapiro.bsky.social's land acknowledgment in Heidelberg, stating that the University is housed (in part) in buildings stolen from Jews. Obviously not the same thing, but seeing the form deployed in a new context reinforced its original function (at least for me).
my wokest opinion is that land acknowledgements are fine. people knowing a little bit about the land you're on, even if one isn't invested in a land back project, is not particularly worse than the status quo, even if one comes by this info in a way that is somewhat cringe and forced
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

This is the main problem with vulgar Marxist materialism tbh. You get too caught up in looking behind the curtain for the man in the top hat when it comes to like racism or nationalism. Sometimes things just are what they are.

100%. It's one thing that becomes crystal clear in every masters of universe email dumps. there is no access to better information. rumors, wild ideas from people popular in their social circles, absurdities. to be all powerful, even for evil, you need access to good information. they mostly don't.
Ironically you can see this very dynamic in the Epstein emails themselves, where the power elite all email each other absurd rumors and semi-literate political scuttlebutt and theorizing. The boys’ club exposed in those messages is the same one that controls the brains of the top Times editors.

So the next time you read a hit piece on a Democrat who called them out or see some self-righteous bullshit about how they seek the truth without fear or favor, pull out this email and ask: What did the NY Times know and when did they know it?

The filibuster has become a fascinating litmus test of the chasm separating D senators from their voters. It's not just a disagreement. Ending the filibuster is now close to an article of faith among D voters; for the Senators it's like abolishing habeas or trial by jury. Unthinkable, unamerican.

Jeffrey Epstein [jeevacation@gmail.com]
He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
Anyway, for what its worth...

the strategic use of masking and unmasking (e.g. the always mask-less Greg Bovino) is part of a game, it's dress-up, it's trolling. the KKK did the same -- they wore costumes as part of a troll.

For that, you've got to look to the Senate's century long commitment to ensuring that Black Americans could be legally lynched. I am not being hyperbolic. Because in 1922, the House passed legislation to make lynching a federal crime. naacp.org/find-resourc...

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks.
So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.
It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.
