Some thoughts on the persistence of indigenous resistance in the PNW, viral imperialism, Biden pumping billions to cops and the Pentagon, how Eisenstein almost ended up in Stalin's gulag, Miles' Lambourghini, & the legacy of the great Marshall Sahlins...

Seems appropriate. Are they aiming at Ireland, the Malvinas or Meghan and Harry's palazzo in Ojai?

Wittgenstein, who was apparently the Benny Goodman of philosophers on the clarinet, even though he detested any music composed after Brahms as "too mechanized"...

[Stuart Newman @sanewman1]

Also a major visual artist. Any other philosophers like this?

This is a lie. Protesters did not storm Iowa’s Capitol...they had a permit, they went through security, the building is open to the public. Per Des Moines Register, the one arrest was of a high school student an officer claimed “pushed my arm in an attempt to gain my attention."

Reviewing another attorney's contract with my client - $15,000 to apply for a U visa if paid in full. $17,500 if paid through a predatory lender the attorney recommends.

So, the attorney makes $2,500 more just because you're poor, not bc they're doing $2,500 more worth of work.

"Saw eDeadhead sticker on a Cadillac" was one of the few true lines Don Henley ever wrote, without appearing to realize he was singing about himself.

For many US liberals, there's no hideous crime that can't be beautified with a few well-placed rainbow stickers.

@JSCCounterPunch Singularity: Never was there a presidential initiative with the sole purpose of de-mobilizing a Left #movement.
Having watched #grapeboycott & #antiApartheid struggles, Clinton called in many chits to strangle the #antisweatshop rabble in their cradle.

Prince Philip to European aristocracy was what Donald Trump is to American "liberal democracy": an embarrassment—the men who flaunt the ugly truth from under the thin veneer of their bourgeois etiquette. https://t.co/I4ut6wVDE9

Yeah. If Peter Thiel really wants to live to 100, maybe he should have been drinking his blood...

Silent? You're some of the biggest loudmouths on the friggin' planet.

2 of ?/ So I just went for a bike ride, when I do some of my best thinking, and this came back to me for some reason. Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 had come out. Was it agitprop to some extent? Yes, it was, but it was also a great piece of anti-war filmmaking and saved lives...

Imagine what Milton the Regicide would have been said, if he'd learned the UK still had such a ridiculous consort at the head of the state 350 after his death...

Surest sign yet, AOC thinks she's going places. It's a box she thinks she has to check as a "passport" to higher office...

[Electronic Intifada @intifada]

Why is @AOC pandering to an Israel lobby group that smeared her very own @NYCDSA as anti-Semitic? https://t.co/2PL70SxrNs

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

President Biden wants $715 billion for the Dept. of Defense, a 1.5% increase over last year. The already inflated Pentagon budget did nothing to protect us from a global pandemic, an economic recession, or the climate crisis. Increasing that budget now would be a grave mistake.

It's hard to get more elite (frozen food heir) or dogmatic than Tucker Carlson...

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Tucker Carlson is the only powerful figure who consistently challenges elite dogma—on both cultural and economic questions. That is why they try to destroy him. Don’t fall for it this time, or any other.
