"You're being a little hard on the Ivy League corporate neo-nazis aren't you?"

haha as if that is a thing. Like "you picked up that baseball bat and swung it at the vile rapey posh prick who was trying to murder you and everyone you love a little too swingily, no?"

Yeah, no. Happy to adjudicate that notion as "not existing."

Shame upon every single person who celebrated mass murderers today.

Dox: Basecamp delenda est.

Regular readers may recall my year-long attempt to find a replacement for Basecamp (in the interest of not paying monthly rent to a fascist) and the plenitude of terrible suggestions that resulted.

Well, last week I just white-knuckled it and wrote my own from scratch. I call it "Dox"...

They actually think that if they remove the name AIPAC and just tell their billionaire donors who to contribute to, they will get the desired result. I think the American public has woken up to their tactics. People have begun to despise that money is ruling and ruining our lives.

We don't share your military pride whatsoever. Unless your military pride involved putting your own job at risk for fighting against your own shitty government decisions - fuck right off trying to tell me why military should be respected. I don't respect any mass murderers or any of their enablers. Straight up.

The environmental disaster of oil and war
"The effects of large-scale oil pollution remain detectable for decades."

"Since the US war on Iran began in February, there have been hundreds of oil spills, posing a ‘generational’ threat to wildlife."

"The vast, dark slicks in the strait of Hormuz are visible from space. Throughout October, oil tankers were struck by missiles or sea mines in the waterway and spilled crude into the sea. The pollution has spread across the Gulf, contaminating coastlines and threatening to cause lasting damage to marine ecosystems that are home to dolphins, sea turtles and countless species of fish."

"Eight months into the war between the US and Iran, one of the world’s busiest oil shipping routes has become a battlefield and the centre of a growing environmental disaster. Since the war began on 28 February, Greenpeace has identified more than 500 instances of oil spills through satellite monitoring across the Gulf, the strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Sea" >>.

"McCarthyism Lives On," Says Author Kai Bird

We speak with historian Kai Bird about
"American Scoundrel",
a new biography of the notorious political fixer Roy Cohn,

who rose to fame as chief counsel to Joe McCarthy during the senator’s anti-communist campaign,
served as a lawyer for the New York mob,
and was an influential voice in Republican circles until his death from AIDS-related complications in 1986.

His most impactful relationship, however, would prove to be with a young Donald Trump,
whom he mentored in business and politics during the 1970s and ’80s.

Facing political setbacks during his first term as president,
Trump reportedly asked,
“Where’s my Roy Cohn?”

Bird, who co-authored American Scoundrel with his wife Susan Goldmark, says
Trump may have found his Cohn in Stephen Miller,
the architect of the administration’s mass deportation policies whom Trump just elevated to chief of staff.

“It’s not really a surprise that,
cornered and wounded by the recent election results,
he reaches out and pulls up Stephen Miller,
who’s very similar in his willingness to go on the offensive and never back down,
and to say outrageous things to try to change the narrative,” says Bird.
