As a Muslim who has been accused of dual loyalty and asked to denounce everything from ISIS to the Iranian state, I breathed a sigh of relief that I think I’d been holding in for like two decades watching this.
This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

I've been wondering what's actually up here for a while + you're not going to believe this but the answer is, once again, private equity. www.avclub.com/shout-factor...
Not shocked that the guy who covered up the police murdering a kid during his term as mayor is anti-accountability.
Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel calls on Democratic lawmakers to set aside plans to impeach President Trump if they win a majority in the House, pushing them instead to pass an ethics reform package.
He and Fetterman can't both be "Oafish moron trying to switch sides for a Republican presidential run". Gonna need a cage match to settle this.
"Gov Gavin Newsom over the weekend vetoed legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state." He was "worried about constraints on the governor's power to approve extraditions". www.ebar.com/story/170505...

Honestly, it's fitting with what an embarrassment the Cap and Avengers run this revamp is connected to has been. But having extremely regressive takes on Iraq and the War on Terror is a bit different from just trying to out-Doomsday Clock the way DC has treated Alan Moore's body of work.
Make mine Miracleman….but which one? Miracleman - yes Miracleman - is back with a new identity and origin in Avengers Armageddon #4, beginning a new chapter of comics's strangest publishing saga

We are well beyond the “Dog-Whistle” Racism of Nixon and Reagan’s Republican Party. I would offer “Clown Horn” Racism for how cartoonishly Trump’s GOP broadcasts White Supremacist racial theory in public and policy to cheers from actual Nazis, homegrown and abroad.
I get that Erick Erickson has never been a big MAGA guy, but to see this bit from him about what American conservatism is in 2026 was genuinely shocking to me.

The fact that he views public assets as belonging to the government is the problem. They don't belong to the government. They belong to the public. They belong to us. Not the Liberals, not Parliament, not him. Us. He's a caretaker, not an owner.
PM Carney on the privatization of federal assets: "What we're looking to do with all the tools we have is to catalyze building of this economy. If there are some assets that the federal government has that can help with that process, we'll look at it as part of a comprehensive approach."

Tonight, Richmond Hill: interfaith vigil for post 9/11 hate crime victims, on the 25th anniversary of the first such death: www.instagram.com/p/DdQIkXkumq...
Started reading Air by @gwillow.me and M.K. Perker on a whim. A couple issues in and it really is the antidote I needed to counteract 25 years of bad feelings about the world after 9/11.

To be blunt this is the problem going back to the first arc of this Cap run. It's a white guy with zero awareness and real interest in the topics he's writing about jamming them into a situation he's not equipped for. It just comes off as thoughtless as Millar/Hitch Ultimates or any Dixon comic.
