The Reactionary Right Mobilizes
 
The Right’s open embrace of the coercive power of the state, the rise of National Conservatism, and the role of the reactionary intellectual sphere in the broader rightwing assault on democracy.

Last night was a so-so night for photography. Pretty much clear, but the seeing and transparency were not ideal. But I got a few things in the earlier parts of the night. This is the bright star Mirach. At about 10:00 or 10:30 on its clock dial is a small, faint galaxy called Mirach's Ghost. It's hard to get a good image of a galaxy that's so close to such a bright star. But I like to try this object anyway. I just like it.

Due to corporate greed, not unemployment.

Kari Lake’s Lawyers RUTHLESSLY HUMILIATED at Evidentiary Hearing https://youtu.be/n8d--xvgnQ4

🤔 🙄 🤡 THE thing is they are so loud and so wrong about everything with respect to politics.

They didn't come to legislate, they came for self promotion.

I will STAKE MY LIFE ON IT, THEY HAVE NEVER READ THE CONSTITUTION.

WATCH: Lauren Boebert🤡 , Matt Gaetz🤡 Refuse to Stand for Volodymyr Zelensky
‘AN EMBARRASSMENT’

The pair both posted after the Ukraine president’s speech, criticizing U.S. plans to send aid in the fight against Russia.

I don’t ever post personal things, but I’m too excited not to share!
I have had an incredibly tough medical battle for the last two years.
Without getting into specifics, yesterday was a huge milestone for me!
My Hickman (tunneled central line) was removed. Although I still have some chronic med issues/pain, this marks a significant move in the right direction and a big improvement in my quality of life!
I’M SO THANKFUL! ☺️❤️‍🩹🎉

The IRS is an agency under the President's control

Under Trump, it was making decisions benefiting the President directly

Let’s say it was revealed Obama exempted himself from mandatory presidential audit the way Trump did:

Would republicans and the main stream media let it blow over the way they’re doing with Trump?

I’ve written about of a lot of weird folks in the GOP, but this guy may have set a new bar. Meet soon-to-be Rep. “George Santos.” I feel I have to put the name in quotes, because who knows what’s true with this guy.

Gunman impersonating police officer wanted in #shooting of boy and man in Washington, #D.C.

Fascinating that Zelensky extensively referenced American history, esp the American Revolution, to make his case that Americans should support Ukraine in their fight for independence.
I can’t remember the last time a US politician mentioned Saratoga in a speech, but it makes sense as a touchpoint for how foreign support can change the direction of a war
