Ukraine Invasion Day 21: both sides have 90% of combat power available in a violent 'pause'

The war continues with Russian troops hiding among hospital facilities in the south using staff as cover or shields.

Opinion: Republicans Don’t Hate Government; They Hate Democracy

Republicans have proved to be masters at soundbite manipulation. The GOP has gotten, mainly, poor white people in the Red States to oppose Medicare expansion, happily believing that rich people trickling on them will eventually improve their lot. Truth in schools is being portrayed as a threat to whiteness, and...

“‘I Answered the Call of My President’: Rioters Say Trump Urged Them On” …debunking the Big Lie

The Big Lie must be thoroughly erased. This delusion is unfortunately the trope deployed as a grand commodity for a national grift that could last until 2024. In the more immediate instance, actions still have consequences, even if Trump implies that he will give pardons in the case of the insurrections....

Trump discussed the possibility of a military coup to change the outcome of the election he lost.

Contradictions and false consciousness inhabit many Trumpists and Trump voters, demanding a crypto-fascist election outcome, a sad commentary on the times.

Anti-Capitalist MeetUp Open Thread

I recently came across a typical Twitter argument about the CIA promoting modern art as propaganda.

They really didn’t, as much as they supported US propaganda in general. The argument about CIA and Art evolved...

previewing Trump's Saturday Nuremberg Rally

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump holds up a copy of the Bible he said his mother gave him as a youth during a campaign rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Dec. 29, 2015.

A loser’s victory rally, what a message. In his Valdosta, Georgia speech on Saturday Trump will essentially repeat his 46 minute Facebook rant from Wednesday with a few local references and additional stupid ad libs.
