Reporter: Will Stephen Miller be apologizing to the family of Alex Pretti for calling him an assassin?

A large paramilitary force where each member has a large financial incentive in ensuring that their political masters don't change through the 2028 election.
I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
ICE recruitment is going well.

So we have a rapist president, a murderer as Secretary of Defense, a psychopath at HHS, and a dog killer at DHS. Oh, and the child sex abuse enabler at the DOE.

I really appreciated this thoughtful piece about Ta-Nehisi Coates & Ezra Klein. Andrea Pitzer says “lost” folks like Klein “don’t have a clear idea how this moment fits into history and what it is exactly that they’re doing”. [degenerateart.beehiiv.com]
You don’t have to swallow frogs
Klein and Coates show that if you don’t know what your core beliefs are, you’re going to get played.

Everytime I've convinced myself to subscribe to @thebulwark.com (mostly for JVL content), they do something like host a fawning interview with Ezra Klein or pimp a Josh Shapiro candidacy. And so I get reset to zero.

Sorry, no beds for cancer patients, we’ve got to lock up this father of three who works as a roofer.

Just (8am) dropped off my car at the shop in Wilsonville and was planning to take the WES train to Beaverton and bus/MAX home, but the last WES left at 8:16am and Google let me know that I was screwed. So lets live tweet the way home.

Picking strawberries in the morning, farmer's market tamales for lunch, an afternoon spent telling Trump to go fuck himself... I get in a couple of IPAs this evening and I'll have an OR-gasm.

I think Brian points to something important: pop culture representations of Nazism showed it as something existing outside of history and politics, which did a massive disservice to understanding it as a political force that could emerge in other polities.
Not to be Zizek, lol, but I had the misfortune of watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier on a plane once, it makes me realize Americans have this imagination of fascism taking over institutions that turned out to be true but the grasp of fascism is curiously ideology-less
