Weekend reading: The Triumph of Weaponized Nostalgia
 
Past eras of stable white Christian patriarchal dominance are widely sanitized and mythologized in our political discourse. The result is white male elite fan fiction that provides cover for reactionary politics.

The Triumph of Weaponized Nostalgia

Past eras of stable white Christian patriarchal dominance are widely sanitized and mythologized in our political discourse

Democracy Americana
It's appalling that journalists and their news organizations never stand back in self-reflection to ask why the public is ill-informed on a topic when it is the supposed job of news to inform them. Why is the public ill-informed about the economy? It ain't Biden's fault, folks.

1,174 mile (1,020 NM) flight from CLE to AUS

~ 1,224 gallons (4,632 liters).
~ 8,201 lbs (3,720 kg) of jet fuel used.
~ $6,852 cost of fuel.
~ 13 tons of CO2 emissions.

I have often wondered why Putin's attack on #Ukraine angers me so deeply.

Walking on the beaches of Lillebælt, I realized it is because of this:

To this day, we Danes still see the concrete fortifications left by the Nazis on our shores, because 1 fascist leader got the insane idea, he had the right to topple our democracy.

He had no right. All he had was the delusion he was somehow supreme to everyone else.

We stopped the fascist in 1945.

We will stop the fascist now.

Everyone on that stage except for Chris Christie and Ada Hutchinson said they’d vote for trump if he’s the nominee, even if he’s found guilty of the various felony charges. When Christie criticized Trump’s attack on the constitution, the GOP debate crowd booed him. Is there really anything more to discuss?
@stux He literally just surrendered.

We always win when we actually show up. You’d think we’d have showed up a bit more reliably before things got this bad. Now we have to show up like this. A lot. Because this ain’t over. It’s barely begun.
