To the extent there are problems with The System, they’re largely (1) poor people suffer, (2) women suffer, and (3) people of color suffer. These are all things RFK likes about The System. To give him credit for “shaking things up” is to out yourself as either a eugenicist or a dumbfuck. Or both.

You actually don't have to do the "well, you know, I disagree with MAHA but they're right that there are real problems with The System" thing. That's a concession you absolutely do not have to make.

Remember a major reason for the hatred against Haitian immigrants in Ohio was that they were actually doing the manufacturing jobs and showing up to work consistently unlike the local white trash who quit as soon as they get some beer money. www.salon.com/2024/09/30/s...

Almost *everything* you see in this format, whether infinite power cubes or solar powered houses for the homeless that fold out of suitcases or French "bread libraries" for the poor is liberal catnip bullshit by content farms. Stop being idiots. Thank you.

This is such a good feeling. I just sent in a review of a manuscript to a scholarly press noting that I'd be disappointed if they did NOT publish it.

I read an advance copy of a book so good that I’m just going to scan the printout with my marginalia for the publisher. They sent this to me because THICK is a reference text and let me just say, the die has been CAST. Whew. Phenomenal. Love when this happens. This rarely happens.

LOL. Cause it's true.

This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.

"We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots" is a great campaign slogan for the GOP. It's both accurate, and catchy. I can already picture the red, white and blue bumper sticker and lawn signs.

so many people still have their head stuck in the sand about a post-Trump GOP every Republican under the age of 30 has only ever known Trump-era politics, there is no possibility of a "return to normalcy"

Kinda what makes the *visual* stuff you can see all the more surreal tbh. See, Trump’s right sided facial droop and how it’s showed up in public last September and reappears most prominently when he’s tired or stressed. Nothing To See Here

I find interesting but not surprising that Trump's actual health is a black box in his inner circle. There's maybe like 5 people who know what's actually going on, and none of them are talking.

I hope Trump spends $10 billion coating Washington DC in gold everywhere. Streets gold. Statues gold. Gold stop lights. Gold everywhere.

The guy who campaigned on grocery prices is gold-plating horse statues on our dime. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference between Washington, DC and the Las Vegas Strip in a minute.

The anti-data center movement is like "I don't want to pay more money for a thing that will not benefit me at all and will actively make my life measurably worse in a bunch of ways" and the pro-data center movement is like "We want it to be illegal for you to not like us."

After spending a week in DC, I am convinced that Trump's arch will be built. It's appalling, but so many of you seem to think that it will be easy to remove down the road. It is not. It is extremely difficult to remove these structures once completed. I said goodbye to these views last week.

Musk came across as profoundly ignorant and driven only by hate, a man who professes to know all about the future but knows zero about the present.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Donald Trump still has absolutely no idea what he was trying to do, how he was going to do it, why he wasn't able to do it, or what he's going to do next to try to fix what he has no idea he broke. He's a delusional, crackbrained, and deranged moron. It's just that simple.

When you hear people say "I Stand with Israel. Period." They are telling you they support the genocide in Gaza, the brutal attacks by the Israeli settlers to drive Christians and Muslims from the West Bank--backed by Netanyahu regime--to make it all Jewish only like the settlements currently are.

Dean Obeidallah@deanobeidallah.bsky.social · 2w ago

We all see the footage of Israeli settlers attacking Christians and Muslims. From The videos of the brutal attack on Christian nuns by Jewish extremists to killing Palestinians in West Bank. The right wing pro-Israel activists see that as well but hey are silent. That's because they agree with it.

I think the Board is right in this 🧵 and my only worry is how badly will the GOP wreck everything before they can be voted out? As Lincoln said to their ideological ancestors: “…you will rule or ruin in all events.” It’s a Confederate mindset; and as such it’s capable of crimes against humanity.

Book Review: In The Anatomy of Fascism by Robert Paxton, the author suggests that previous attempts to define fascism have focused too narrowly on ideology and not enough on political strategies and broader social circumstances. This book is excellent. Let's summarize🧵
