Lurking usually but family man, music-making at Edens, art-making sometimes, architecture, and Chicago music history when I get the chance.

More and more it appears the ultimate freedom for these freedom-loving patriots is the freedom to commit sex crimes against children.

We should try electing some kind of deliberative body that makes decisions about levying taxes.

ICE has completely broken our social contract.

They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

there was nothing unusual about it at all, we were simply travelimg via boat through the caribbean with our multiple nannies when we stopped off for lunch on a private island with a billionaire registered sex offender. completely innocuous and normal. an all-american family vacation

"If we impeach Trump, we're still stuck with Vance."

Yes! But do you appreciate the MASSIVE L they'll have to eat as a result of their guy at the top being taken down? It also pierces the aura of invincibility.

It makes them WEAKER.

So this confirms that the federal government faked a grand jury indictment against a political opponent in order to create the conditions for a fascist show trial.

Americans have no understanding of how far into the machinery of fascist governance we are.

When you assemble a squad of thugs and tell them they're above the law, don't be shocked if they start behaving as if they're above the law.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

They are literally canceling all the comedians because the far-right regime doesn’t like them

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah took down X posts Tuesday making an apparent connection between Gov. Tim Walz and the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, and blaming β€œMarxists” for the murders. The change comes after blowback from Sen. Tina Smith and her staffers as well as Minnesota Democratic and Republican lawmakers.

One X post said β€œNightmare on Waltz Street,” with pictures of Boelter, who is accused of killing Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in the early morning hours of June 14. Boelter also went to the homes of two other state lawmakers that night; one house was empty, and at the other, a police officer pulled up to the house shortly after Boelter arrived, so Boelter left.

Another Lee post read, β€œThis is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” with a picture of Boelter.

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

one of the most important technological revolutions in modern history and you're likely not hearing anything about it because it's making the oligarchs who control our information environment poorer instead of richer

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Have we not already been living through years of mass political violence?

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Imagine 20 years ago telling someone a notoriously shady buffoon would somehow con his way into the White House, get charged with a bunch of crimes and face possible jail time, the only way out to get elected again, and he does it.

Former Labor secretary will be interviewed in House Epstein probe Alex Acosta brokered a deal with the sex offender as US attorney in Miami.

Does anyone need a reminder that Alex Acosta, who gave Jeffrey Epstein the notorious "sweetheart deal" the first time his crimes were exposed became Trump's first labor secretary (until he was forced to resign when Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald exposed the whole thing in 2018).

Maxwell Interview

I hope that history records just how bizarre it was that the president sent DOJ's top deputy down to interview a notorious child sex trafficker with nothing new to say for two days just to ask her about her relationship with the president and then publish the results

This represents Displays of Power As Weakness. An over-armed strike force sent to arrest a paralegal who threw a sandwich. Pathetic and deeply insecure.

How Much Is Trump Profiting Off the Presidency? A comprehensive estimate of how much Trump and his family are making, from hotel mega-deals to crypto schemes, has been elusiveβ€”until now.

πŸ’° The New Yorker puts a number on itβ€”

$3.4 billion

That’s how much Trump & his family have profited from his presidency, estimates David Kirkpatrick.
