Your top priority as a Democratic officeholder or candidate is to outline specific consequences for every simpering fascist functionary or you're guaranteed more of this and worse

Russia gave Iran the coordinates. Six Americans died. Today Trump's reward for Putin: lifted oil sanctions. Either he's a traitor or the most useful idiot in American history. At this point the distinction barely matters.

The Submarine of Czechia: Or, The Life of a Spy at Mar-a-Lago A version of this short story was originally published in Flaming Hydra, an art collective I'm proud to be a part of. This is most definitely a work of...

Never Remember Reflection & remembrance on the 22nd anniversary of a grim hinge in history. What we never remember, what we never forget

The last couple weeks of war have put me in mind of this remembrance I wrote a few years back.

"I'd like a bit more contemplation about what exactly it is we should Never Forget, and also what it is that we seem to want to Never Remember."

The problem of pathocracy | BPS Do psychologists have a responsibility to help prevent ruthless, amoral people attaining positions of power? Steve Taylor considers the arguments.

"...pathocracy is a system of government 'wherein a small pathological minority takes control over a society of normal people'."

Counterterrorism Measures: Pretext for Closing the Space for Civil Society Last week, the White House released its FY 2018 budget blueprint, adding $54 billion in defense and national security spending, while proposing massive cuts to foreign assistance and multilateral fund...

This is a fruit of 9/11. Civil society groups have long warned that the US's sweeping and poorly defined concept of terrorism effectively empowers the government to criminalize legitimate activism or dissent and to brand almost anyone a terrorist. www.csis.org/analysis/cou...

I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them.

A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.

Imagine being such a chuddite imbecile that you manage to commit a war crime on national TV through your habit of talking entirely in stock phrases.

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.

It might be helpful in fact for the head of our country's most prominent antisemitism watchdog to not imply that the Jewish people are the Jewish state as we are trying to explain that attacking Jewish institutions in response to Israel's actions is wrong.

The thing about this fascist take over is it has been telegraphed, planned out, on the surface, barely even dogwhistled, for a decade. A decade. And liberals (and a fair number of leftists) have spent the decade telling us to calm down, stop being hysterical, stop exaggerating

Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.
