The United States is the first and only country in history that has made discriminating against, marginalizing, and ultimately replacing its core demographic a deliberate policy goal and you're not allowed to talk about this except to celebrate it
That should generate... more discussion
Also unique in that it has convinced a good portion of the people this affects that it's a good thing or somehow not an unusual goal
It has been brought to my attention that my last name is, in fact, Gonzalez and that I am, indeed, brown. Thank you

I'm still right

In theory, journalism serves as a check on the regime by interrogating it and exposing it in defense the people

In practice, journalism serves the interests of power by justifying the regime and manufacturing consensus on its behalf
The professionalization and credentialization of journalism was a mistake
Pretty ironic: journalism is supposed to be a check on institutional corruption so what happens when it becomes an institution in its own right, just as susceptible to corruption and interests?

The GOP in Texas has created the conditions that will ensure the Democratic Party's rise to power in the state. And much of that Texas GOP mindset has transferred into the official MAGA movement via Brooke Rollins' Texas Public Policy Foundation-America First Policy Institute
Which is why breaking the Texas GOP and pusting Greg Abbott is so important nytimes.com/2021/10/05/opi…
Everything that Texas Republicans are doing now is a rear guard action, an attempt to shore up in response to a time bomb they created. How else did the Democratic Party's electoral power sneak into the state? Republicans allowed it to happen

A lot of what conservatives perceive as Biden's "failures" are actually Biden and his wing getting what they want, i.e. the border. Biden hasn't failed there, Democrats are steadily increasing their electorate
Biden has "failed" at handling the pandemic in the sense that the economy is slower to recover but he has successfully convinced his supporters that the unvaccinated and the non-compliant are kulaks, thus empowering the federal government to treat them like domestic terrorists
Conservatives think in dollar signs, the other side thinks in terms of transforming institutions

Exclusive: Sources reveal South Dakota governor and potential 2024 VP candidate Kristi Noem is having an extramarital affair with former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. amgreatness.com/2021/09/28/kri…
This follows the AP report that Noem held a meeting with her daughter and officials the same day the daughter got a letter from a state agency rejecting her application for a real estate credential. South Dakota’s attorney general has announced that he’s looking into the matter.
Before that, Noem excused caving to the transgender lobby and corporate vaccine mandates by saying it was not in keeping with conservative principles to use "big government" to do anything her supporters wanted.

Trump has placed Susie Wiles, a managing partner at Ballard Partners, in charge of overseeing fundraising and endorsements. Problem is, Ballard has deep ties to the GOP establishment and has made its fortunes lobbying on behalf of state-owned Chinese businesses and interests 1/
Ballard himself was a top fundraiser for John McCain and Mitt Romey, also backed Jeb Bush. Ballard and Susie Wiles have latched onto the Trump movement to continue their grift, and Trump has told people, "Susie is in charge" 2/ rumble.com/vmu4i7-exclusi…
Susie, of course, works closely with Kushner confidant Bill Stepien. There's a lot more and I'm going to be writing an article about this and how it ties into the broader Trump grift that threatens to kill a genuine anti-establishment movement from the right 3/

"Twitter isn't real life," quips the conservative intellectual living in a reality that had once only existed in virtual spaces like Tumblr
One side is visionary, the other is perpetually smug and confident in its supremacy although it has literally nothing to show for that
