“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Что делать? read Jaspers, read Arendt, read Popper, read Hayek.

People forget that “peak woke” was not some obscure, unpleasant thing that happened online affecting 0.01% of the population, but the 2012 GOP presidential candidate marching in the middle of DC protesting George Floyd’s death and saying Black Lives Matter.

Jobs and Trade
Trade deals, like NAFTA, have been a disaster for American manufacturing and have rotted out our
towns and destroyed communities. I believe in bringing dignified, well-paying jobs to Michigan.

Every time this junkie flaps his gums, the Biden legacy becomes less

lol this is savage. just found out about this beef.

Be Canadian. Be zany. Be moody. Be relatable.
Write about your mother. Write about desire.
Write about trauma. Write about loneliness.
Write about grief. Write about nature. Write about the body. Invoke universals. Make it mythic. Tell it slant. Do not use rhyme. Do not use meter. Use short lines. Leave a lot of space on the page. Juxtapose your words with quivery line drawings in ink or paint or collage.

If you want to produce poetry that a large subset of American teenagers and twentysomethings will adore with a passion verging on religious devotion, these simple rules provide your best hope.

screaming.

Hyperpolitics
Heaping money on America's misfiring machine—$8 trillion under Trump I, another $6 trillion under Biden —combined with proxy wars and reshoring ("a foreign policy for the middle class"), produced a hectic spurt that saw real wages fall far behind prices for food, fuel, and housing, the gains in headline GDP growth going disproportionately to the top 20 percent. Two-thirds of American households reported living paycheck to paycheck, while 57 percent found the higher borrowing costs under Biden especially hard.4

Postliberals will really be like "you believe in
GDP growth? that pales in comparison to my strategy, robust communities with real human flourishing" and then not create robust communities but everyone gets poorer thanks to bad economic policy.

Mr. Platner's insistence that he did not know that his tattoo was a Nazi symbol until it became a campaign issue last fall was simply not true, Ms. Fifield said. After all, she said, he had taught her the word for it years earlier, referring to it as "my Totenkopf."

THIS IS WHAT RIGHT WING EVANGELICALS ACTUALLY BELIEVE — "personal relationship with Jesus" translates to an unlimited and unqualified indulgence for wickedness, at least if you're a powerful white man who serves their cult.

The whining from Republicans here is just preposterous. Democrats remain willing to prohibit gerrymandering nationally.
Republicans thought they were better off fighting this battle state-by-state and are sore that that wasn't true.

Anyway since the Virginia-resident class of conservative journalists and operatives have personally come out on the short end of the stick on this redistricting fight, perhaps they can push their party to negotiate a national gerrymandering ban.
Dems are ready to take the call.

God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. - Ephesians 1:20

Democrats desperately need more straight men working in communications, especially for politicians who are themselves straight men, because it's weird how so many Dem offices try to speak in some form of "caustic gay wit" nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/...
The posts were meant to bait the right, his aides said, and were written by gay staff members. A spokesman for the governor, Izzy Garuon, said in a statement that the posts were aimed at "exposing the putrid behavior from the right wing through ridicule and mocking"
