My take on why many (white) progressives say that Israel is making the US go to war is that they would very much prefer that to be the case than to have to examine their own culpability and participation in America's white supremacist militaristic reality.

So much easier if it's outsiders.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The first fun print for myself from the new 3d printer. Needs sanding, paint, and a pass with rub'n buff but I'm quite happy.

The appropriate response is "Fuck you. Cadia stands." It's every bit as serious as the "request."

Is Trump the president who will truly set a course for Mars? Proponents of going to Mars see peril and opportunity in Elon Musk's close relationship with Trump. Experts say just getting Americans back to the moon in the near future will be challenging enough.

I love soft snows. The world gets a little slower, a little quieter, the light is even soft. Getting out of my car at work was tough.

You've Persuaded Us Already When it comes to the idea that conservatism has embraced fascism and supremacy, nobody is more persuasive than conservatives themselves. An essay on bullies and the margins of permission in the USA.

"The people who persuaded me that Republicans are fascist are Republicans. What this tells me is that actions are persuasive in ways words are not. I mention this because a lot of people seem to think that what is needed in this moment is persuasion."
