White America imposes existential threats on "others" without ever having to deal with that type of pervasive, 24-7, state-sanctioned oppression. But with MAGA types in charge, many white folks will also feel the sting. Note: chronic blood pressure and compromised life spans are part of the deal.

Racism is at the core of the vituperative, pathological sense of grievance from the right wing, but it's diffused throughout the US as well. Genocide against Native Americans, slavery, Jim Crow, lynchings, voter suppression, wealth theft ... one long, unbroken chain of cruelty against "the others."

The framing of the central issue was skewed from the outset. The SC answered a much broader question than was actually at bar. They've granted absolute immunity. The limitations placed on evidence that could actually prove nefarious conduct was the "fuck you" period at the end of the sentence.

If Trump who has run businesses into the ground numerous times over his life, who was such a bad student that he keeps university transcripts under lock and key, and who is so dumb and arrogant that he continues to admit publicly to felony conduct --if he can be president, then literally anyone can.

Harris a radical leftist? Seen that way by whom? Not Californians or anyone with half a brain. She became Biden's Veep because she's a centrist insider. She would not have been my first choice, but Biden chose her. The hysteria against her resides in the nodal intersection of racism and misogyny.

It's dystopian. Gorsuch has always emitted a somewhat reptilian vibe. You'd think that one of the baseline traits of a SC Justice should be compassion toward others, especially the downtrodden. But he seems to relish being an asshole. I can't believe mainstream commentators once vouched for him.

Has Biden been trying to win over the right? More than any other president in recent memory many of his policy initiatives, with a few glaring exceptions -- Israel-- are closer to progressive causes than not. It's no accident that the hysteria to dump him comes from outlets owned by economic elites.

beyond the absurd decision to publish the piece at all, and the inequity in asking one guy to drop out when the other is a freshly convicted felon who is just as old, it’s that they just presume it’s not even worth the ink to ask the other guy to be selfless

The coup insurgency from the Far Right is on-going. The current locus of kinetic action is the judiciary. Hopefully, people will now realize that their entreaties to Roberts to "fix" the corruption of his fellow conservative Justices were laughingly naive. They will have to de dragged out of power.

A BITTERSWEET LIFE: Its theme sneaks up on you. Unlike most revenge pics centered around death, what you feel most strongly at film's end is the spiritual re-birth of the protagonist, masterfully played by Lee Byung-hun, who seems to be channeling Alain Delon in LE SAMOURAI.

X-Men 107 (Oct 1977) cover by Dave Cockrum. This was Cockrum’s last issue doing interior art (for now, he’d be back in a few years), plus features the first appearance of the Imperial Guard, and the first full appearance of the Starjammers. Cockrum would stay on as cover artist.

The MSM media is acting like the midwife to fascism. This is what is most worrisome: too many Americans still have residual faith in institutions like the SC and the press (which has simply given up) that out of sheer habit they will be led over the edge of the constitutional cliff.

In alluding the dubiousness of "Radical Constitutionalism" the Post uses hedge language (the old "some say") instead of ripping this lawless tripe in the harshest imaginable terms. This is not about policy disagreements but rather one side seeking to destroy a constitutional order by fiat.
