I dunno my guy, if β€œnormality” is gone, maybe the critiques you’ve been making of β€œthe political class” for years now aren’t still relevant?

It’s amazing how one white man can speak so confidently on so many topics. πŸ™„

W.E.B. Dubois, Angela Davis, Kwame Ture, the Black Panthers and others were always careful to mention that socialism without antiracism means nothing for Black people in a country built on white supremacy. There was literally racism in the labor movement.

Having the author of this timeless classic spark the stupidest β€œwar crime” discourse in 2026 is a helluva callback.

Screenshot from the Texas tribune that says Rep. Dan Crenshaw says culture of misinformation fueled his primary loss:

Oh suddenly this Republican cares about β€œthe truth”?

Another exemplar of the Republican motto: I care not when it happens to thee, but I care greatly when it happens to me.

This is only interesting because #IL09 hasn’t had a competitive primary since 1998 and no one knows better.

The slurs somehow have more agency than the Republicans.

The β€œNYT actually assigns agency to the people doing the thing” headline challenge remains unwon.

Well the first New Deal required throwing Black people under the bus to get things through the Senate, while Nuremberg required literal foreign armies overthrowing the government, sooooo
