No wonder Ryan spends his days uploading clips of Tucker Carlson to the Drop Site News feed and defending Marjorie Taylor Greene and her “sacrifices” and complaining that white men have it rough out here and defending men with Nazi tattoos who post racist and misogynistic comments and

Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy

I'm heartbroken to share that Marvin (known to readers of There Is No Place for Us as Maurice) died earlier today in a workplace accident. He was 43. Natasha (Natalia in the book) asked me to share this news because she is too devastated to do so herself. We are all in shock.
At the very least this is a narrow minded, blasphemous view. Not to mention Selfish as Hell.
In a recent HUD webinar detailing the Trump Administration's shifting priorities for federal funding for homelessness services away from Housing-First programs & toward faith-based programs, Dave Donaldson, a member of the White House Faith Office, proclaimed that taxpayer money is "GOD'S MONEY!"
Try to imagine people with *authority* taking the few things you have left that you need to survive and throwing them away just to hurt you and drive you away so fewer people will see the national disgrace of how you've been forced to exist. This is damned inhuman.
After killing Cornelius Taylor in an encampment sweep, Atlanta is again treating human beings like garbage and throwing their essential items in the trash, clearing areas where World Cup fans may be disrupted by seeing America's devastating poverty in the streets. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
The compromise I'm willing to make here is calling them Strasserites: but that requires understanding that this is a disease specific *to* the left: hating liberals more than fascists, obsessed with defeating liberalism, while believing an alliance with "working-class" fascist fans is possible.
I don't know what to call the specific political tendency represented by Ryan Grim, Ken Klippenstein, Matt Stoller, Michael Tracey, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, and Zaid Jilani, mostly because words sort of fail, but it isn't "the Left."
Trump Official: TAXPAYER MONEY IS GOD’S MONEY! While attacking Housing First & permanent supportive housing, Trump officials argued “God’s money” should instead fund faith-based orgs offering temporary shelter with strict requirements, including church attendance, to promote “self-sufficiency.”

Folks, no one has a RIGHT to higher office. OK? You aren't "canceling" anyone when you decide NOT TO SUPPORT THEIR QUEST FOR MORE POWER. Please let's be SERIOUS. This is not what is meant by "no one is disposable." I'm begging people to focus and use your brains. That man can still make a LIVING.
THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY
BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.
