[Dr. Medulla]

Ron Johnson was apparently visited by the ghost of Joseph Kennedy: https://www.newsweek.com/ron-johnson-uk ... ar-1869386

You can't make this stuff up...

Republican lawmaker claims her white father was a slave.

Ms Decker later told the Courier Journal that her father was essentially the same as a slave because he was born poor and worked on someone else's land.

She later admitted that calling her father a slave was "probably" too much, noting that her father did not experience the same abuses that enslaved Black people endured. Ms Decker also admitted that her family hadn't been kidnapped from their homes and shipped across the ocean to do their work.

Someone should tell her that she's nearing a Marxist interpretation of labour under capitalism, where meaningful freedom is illusory.

Maybe I'll send her some of Bob Black's writing.

It is, I should say, kinda neat how so many on the right are turning against the free market because producers don’t find them as valuable as those closer to the middle of the spectrum. Sure, their reasoning is dumblefuck—wokeness, Soros manipulation, etc—but it’s still fun to hear from that side after growing up in the neoliberal ascendency and faith that free markets would solve all our problems.

Not related to Desmond then.

Are you reading that the right are offering any post-free market solutions for themselves, or is it just impotent wailing?

I think you know full well that it’s impotent wailing.

Which is why, despite all their many, many, many faults, it's irresponsible not to support the Democrats: https://newrepublic.com/post/179247/jac ... -cpac-2024

Democrats should be incorporating this asshole's speech into ads this year.

The supporters of these fucks aren't going to learn anything until they find out what it's really like to live under authoritarianism. They ain't going to get any special treatment.

See the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party joke. But that is the playbook of authoritarianism/totalitarianism—follow us and you'll finally be the winners of life.

I refuse to give into pessimism because (a) I don't think the worst case is preordained (or even probable) and (b) there's no benefit in it.
