Eat the rich. Then charge a 99% stomach residency tax. Unbadged aggressors will be treated as civilian aggressors.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Unbelievably vile 1920s-style scientific racism coming from the pinnacle of US government
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.
chat I don’t think doubling down on this ad is working out real well for vivek

America is currently on the soft side of The Baddies in Ukraine, which sucks so much and as an American, embarrasses me to my core Luckily, we have an election in like 8 days, and another one in 2 years and between the two we can turn this ship around, even if we cant undo the damage
According to Zelenskyy, for nearly a month Pete Hegseth has not been signing off on the delivery of vital Patriot and NASAMS interceptor missiles for Ukraine that European allies have already paid for. Here is a video of Hegseth cynically wishing Ukraine “success” a week ago:

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

I think Garland perceived his job as being the responsible adult in the room whose role was to resist pressure to lock Trump up. But when Trump was guilty of multifarious offenses ranging from treason to fraud to child predation, this turned Garland into Trump’s de facto protector.

An overwhelming and never-to-be-repeated factor in Trump’s success is that sober professionals fully believed that he was *obviously* about to be ushered offstage, and their job was to keep things running “as usual” until that happened. Which required pretending no POTUS would do what he was doing.

It's like everyone decided "If the president was plausibly accused of child sex trafficking, it would be the biggest scandal of all time" and went from there to "It's not the biggest scandal of all time, so I guess he's not plausibly accused of child sex trafficking." But he is.

House Democrats looked into it and it really feels like they were just tripping over allegations against Trump - including allegations no one had heard before! - everywhere they looked. It's bizarre that this remains such a low-burn scandal. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Trump and Co. will try to steal the midterms. They're already trying. Gerrymandering, bad faith lawsuits, voter intimidation, and a whole lot of lies. But they don't have a genius secret plan. They're already doing whatever they can think of. And it's beatable. Shouldn't have to, but here we are.

Hungary's recent election was less free and more unfair than the upcoming US midterms, and pro-democracy forces still won. Similar point about Serbia's election this weekend. In normal democracy terms, America is in bad shape. But in consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're looking pretty good.
Gutt “EPSTEIN” Levy reposted
The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."
It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising
