A despot’s humiliation cannot be contained; it humiliates us all.
The usual contemptuous Dem posture is “can you believe these guys?” while Ossoff has taken on the much more appropriate “I believe these guys are scoundrels and deserve hell for it.”

And we’ll get further still when we fully absorb the fact that Republicans are keepers of the slavery and segregation flame, that their political exile is imperative, and that only a new foundation built upon reparations for the sins of white supremacy will carry us past American fascism.
LunchCounterPunch@theultrasecret.bsky.social · 4w agoWe might get somewhere as a nation if we realize that each new calamitous Republican administration is an extension of, and not a departure from, the prior one.
Why the rush to declare Claude sentient? It’s so white nationalists can then deem it superior, cognitively and morally, to non-white people, and continue to attack and erode their civil rights.
No taste, no style, no morals, no imagination, no soul, no spirit. The modern day Republican is a ghastly thing indeed; a sour, childish abuser, jumping from one pitiful tantrum to the next, putting all that is worth cherishing out of business. Get them the hell out of here.
The energies of a slave state disperse, but do not disappear, after its destruction, especially in the absence of robust truth and reconciliation projects. And so we have the continuing assault on the health of Black people by private and public sectors, fulfilling the desire to see them suffer.
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 2mo agoThe fact that it’s poisoning Black people is not seen as a negative to these folks.
If you find yourself living your normal life today, whatever that entails, instead of being sick, or sheltering in place, or dead, it’s because of vaccines. If you can’t grasp that basic fact and chafe against it, you are a fool.

An organic, righteous, and just movement to address the avalanche of harms that generation after generation of white supremacist ideology has inflicted on the world (quite literally destroying the earth) was met with revulsion by those who benefit from its existence and want to keep its contours...
Larry Glickman@larryglickman.bsky.social · 3d agoThe assertion that "powerful cultural institutions" and the Democratic Party "treated more tradition-minded Americans as evil or backward" has become such a cliche in the punditry that people who say this feel no need to offer examples (or a single example) and journalists rarely ask them to do so.
Ossoff being laser focused on illuminating the white nationalist ties of his opponent is extremely important and demands to be replicated by the party more broadly.
Whoever hasn’t already will need to disabuse themselves of the notion that the fascists with weapons of war known as the police are going to save us from the fascists with weapons of war known as ICE.
I Scare You Like Sound Dog@chadstanton.blacksky.app · 21h agoNYPD delivering a shooting victim to ICE and then escorting them so they can spirit him out of the state is y'know bad.

When Trump says “fight back” he means attack, and it’s important to know this. He’s inciting violence, and that has to matter.

We can primarily thank Republicans for this; it is their collective character that has diminished us all, and I’m happy to see Democrats at last illuminating this.
LunchCounterPunch@theultrasecret.bsky.social · last wk.We are indebted and inured to sadism, and I don't think it's because most of us are, but because money and power have been flowing and pooling into the worst among us. We can change that.
If you call a Republican a Nazi to their face, they won’t even refute it. They know it’s true, and they’re dying to be more publicly proud about it.
Nothing good is fixed, until the Supreme Court is. Leaders may not want to go there, because court expansion is not easy to deliver, but they have to understand, and get the public to understand, that this is one of those things that you just have to keep trying and failing at until the job is done.

The US SecDef is a sadistic, bloodthirsty bigot with juvenile (at best) delusions of grandeur, who thinks all Iranians (at least) should die. This is a nightmare that Republicans, of equally debased character, insist on foisting upon the world. Jail or exile for the entire lot.
White nationalism has to become a kitchen table issue as well (sorry).
LunchCounterPunch@theultrasecret.bsky.social · 5mo agoNote to Democrats: theft of the public's money is what you would call a "kitchen table" issue. If someone broke into my house, took my money, and then gave it to people convicted of crimes, I would not only talk about that at the kitchen table, it would alter the very fabric of my existence.
Accepting anything less than the abolition of ICE is tacit support for the idea that at least some number of our fellow residents warrant being patrolled, harassed, kidnapped, or murdered, a morally heinous position unworthy of a decent people and party.
Momentum is on the side of SCOTUS expansion, a once in a generation opportunity for Democrats to veer America off of its fascist track.
