A major factor in rise of the right in Latin America is not the dismantling of USAID it’s the Trump admin’s open alliance with right wing drug traffickers. Pardon of Honduran ex-President Juan Orlando Hernández can be read that way. Drug money is fueling the victories

Take this is a subtweet of whatever you want it to be but:

A good rule, when trying to puzzle out who's more of an ally and who's more of an enemy of the Left, is that someone who's not sure whether it's good or bad that the Nazis lost World War II is probably the second thing.

Grad school is hard but I have never been more inspired to study in my life because this is what my university library looks like

@SorenAldaco Poor justification for bald-face lying, but whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night.

You just told on yourself. You just said you’ve never questioned the intentions of people who went on camera and bragged that they were engineering a neocon takeover of the Dem Party, after they spent decades deriding Dems & enacting the neocon policies that destroyed the country

As a journalist I’ve been pitched this kinda stuff and I’ve uniformly said no, this is not in the public interest they were a literal child. If you’re not old enough to vote I don’t give a shit about your bad tweets.

One of the many small but substantial measures Mexico’s wildly popular democratic socialist government is taking to materially improve the lives of citizens is to develop these tough little electric cars and trucks that people can buy directly from the state for about $50/month.

In this case “bold and decisive actions” means detaining the country’s attorney general under dubious circumstances in the midst of his drug trafficking investigation into Fernando Cerimedo, only days after photos of him alongside Trump Jr were published.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

This is why they are now physically coming after the Bolivian attorney general. The right in Latin America is heavily bound up in drug trafficking and Cerimedo’s arrest was/is threatening to expose it all. Don Trump Jr cameo extremely unsurprising.

In 2026, this is basically the equivalent to finding gold.

The only thing this guy does better than shaming victims is playing one.

[Caliban @rhetwork]

Absolutely crushing!

@j_paul_thomas @prockityrock @MattPolProf For whatever self-loathing reason I cannot summon, I read this thread. This and your subsequent post are a reasonable summary of the argument as it stands. Charitable even.

Libertarians, man.

You are not “much smarter” than anyone if you’re a Nazi. Being a Nazi means you’re stupid and incredibly gullible

Everyone who teaches humanities, depending on institution, will tell you that despite students even wanting to learn, the cognitive offloading from AI and inability to read and write has *already* cut us off at the knees. Loss of majors who want to be there would be catastrophic.

This is the man Tyler Cowen thinks is one of the most important philosophers of our time.

And he isn't even saying anything new. This is just a child's understanding of Nietzsche, which makes sense since Thiel is basically a college sophomore with arrested development.

The cure for student loans is making public universities public again, meaning low to no tuition.
