Look at fast food and all you see is burgers. Look through fast food and you see the world. Sometimes I publish things, lately in Jacobin, the Conversationalist, elsewhere. More: www.alexcpark.com

The odds of a nuke going off so that Trump can feel powerful are just too high right now

There’s no way he gives himself the power to just selectively screw a large segment of the population and not use it to go after groups he doesn’t like as though it’s a strategic end in itself.

I have this weird inkling that if Trump reinstated the draft, instead of a deferment, being in college or having a degree would put people at the front of the line.

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

No, I do not want to be a β€œcreator journalist” or β€œinfluencer” or run a newsletter by myself

I want health insurance and a decent editor to work under and a team of comrades to work with, attend union meetings with, do good with

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Hey look at that … the NYT actually covered a protest

It's not debatable that a mentally disturbed person has the nuclear codes. The Republicans know they're endangering us all by leaving him in office. This is a betrayal of every person on Earth. It is a crime against humanity.

Go to a rally tomorrow. You will feel better.

Going out to stand up to federal agents a day after they killed a person for doing just that and the president lied about the circumstances … that’s courage

@jonathancapehart.bsky.social remember when this Greenland business was first popping off and you said that we shouldn’t pay attention to what Trump says, only what he does? I still can’t get over how stupid that comment was.

While the Senate is asking Trump why they started a war to kidnap a foreign leader perhaps they might also ask why Trump freed a former foreign leader convicted of the same kind of crimes.

This isn’t an escalation from β€œdestroying drug boats.” There was no evidence ever that the boats carried drugs. Just because there’s a lot more lies to come doesn’t mean the last round gets a pass.

Please, Bari Weiss, tell us how you love America and won’t apologize for it again while we bomb Caracas for no reason at all

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Members of Congress need to go on the record about whether a) that’s a joke when it’s clearly a policy pronouncement m, b) it’s good and right, or c) it’s bad.

Washington press corps, you’re up:

That was in Oakland, actually. The island is part of alameda (which is why NBC 11 reported it as such) but the demonstration was on the other side of the bridge in Oakland.

Trump threatens to deploy the military 'guns-a-blazing' to Nigeria It comes a day after the president declared the African nation a "country of particular concern” for religious freedom.

So I guess we’ll be changing the refugee quotas now? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

After the autocracy / democracy fight, there will be the complacency / constant, unmitigated pressure on the people we elected to do what they said they would fight
