Lots of ink spilled over the years about conservative white resentment and how much we need to pay attention to it, and understand it better, and accommodate it more.

About time attention was paid to the resentment the rest of us feel, forced to live in a country that accommodates resentful white conservative as a 1st priority, no matter what they do, no matter how wrong they are, no matter how destructive they become.

I'm looking for an infrastructure engineer (AWS, Docker, Linux) for a leftist project to benefit the community. 1-2 months of paid consulting work. DMs open.

Senators have unlimited paid sick days. They might work less than anybody you know. More recess than a kindergarten class. But GOP Senators and Joe Manchin voted against giving rail workers just one week of sick days. They are waging war on the working class. Manchin most of all. One huge reason why Warnock must win.

The US Department of Justice Tried to Hide a Report Warning That a Private Border Wall in Texas Could Collapse. The report confirms a ProPublica and Texas Tribune investigation that found the privately built fencing could collapse during major flooding. The federal government resisted making the findings public for more than a year.

I’m seeing a fair amount of chatter online that Kanye shouldn’t be de-platformed, that his bad ideas should have to battle it out with better ones in an open marketplace of ideas.

This is a category error.

Advocacy for Nazism isn’t a discussion of ideas, it’s a credible threat of violence. Genocide is intrinsic to the heart of it, and it’s not a proposition that is amenable to vigorous debate: it’s a gun held at one’s temple. It left “ideas” abandoned down the road a long ways back.
