    Thinking about coming out of conference talk retirement to do one on career advice and I’m not sure what the interest level would be. Poll?

    If you’re burning your Nikes to “support veterans” instead of GIVING them to homeless veterans whose health care Trump degraded, then maybe it’s time to question what you’re REALLY so upset about.

    When did racism become something we need to “hear out”?

    It’s rich that Slate is blaming “Democratic base” for Kavanaugh’s confirmation going forward, rather than oh, say CHUCK SCHUMER. Schumer, Pelosi, Feinstein, etc have been absolutely complicit in moving *rump’s agenda forward, yet not a peep about their abysmal failure to oppose.

    JUST IN: Ronan Farrow speaks: "The suggestion to take the story to another outlet was first raised by NBC, not me, and I took them up on it only after it became clear that i was being blocked from further reporting."

    The real Labor Day is May 1st, May Day. They moved it away from May first in order to take all the class struggle and international solidarity along class lines out of it. If you already know this, this message isn't for you.

    Now is a good time to remember that on top of being a white nationalist who has dedicated his life to spreading fascism, Steve Bannon just last year sent a crew down to Alabama for the explicit purpose of launching a smear campaign against women accusing Roy Moore of sexual abuse

    It's done. I ran for Board president, got elected, and brought in a locally-owned ISP to get Comcast out of my entire condo building. New ISP provides increments of 100Mbps symmetric for $5 a tier; starts at $20. Low income (and all) residents are ecstatic.

    “Senator Flake and I can’t in good conscience allow this president, who understands our justice system so little, to install a Justice on the Supreme Court who hasn’t been fully vetted in keeping with our best traditions,” he failed to add.

    Either way, huge win for Bannon. Once invited, he’d get either attention and legitimization OR attention and claim to victimization. I’d guess he’d prefer the latter, which is what he now has been gifted.

    Breaking: has disinvited Steve Bannon from its annual festival. Here's part of David Remnick's note to the staff.

    The Remmick statement is a fine example that political positions which threaten the lives of society's most vulnerable--women, people of color, immigrants, the poor--can be viewed as "valuable" information to rich white men.

    Lol at all the right-wingers whining about 1st Amendment after Bannon’s appearance was cancelled. Is part of US government? Why are people who make the most noise about The Constitution always the most ignorant about it?

    So what you’re saying is that the FBI was engaged in a legitimate counterintelligence investigation into Russian influence long _before_ you were a candidate—such that the claim that the whole episode was a conspiracy to target (and weaken) your campaign is bollocks? Got it...

    According to the Failing New York Times, the FBI started a major effort to flip Putin loyalists in 2014-2016. “It wasn’t about Trump, he wasn’t even close to a candidate yet.” Rigged Witch Hunt!

    I volunteer to throw up in a bucket, for free, for 45 minutes as a replacement for Bannon.

    Our auditorium was rented for this outside event, and we’re just learning about the lineup ourselves. Rest assured we stand against everything Steve Bannon represents, and will issue a statement shortly.

    I've been thinking about the below statement from . Elections are coming is not a legitimate legal defense. Trump is thus corruptly endeavoring to influence two investigations by pressuring Jeff Sessions to not proceed with the cases. That's Obstruction of Justice

    Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......

    In any remotely healthy political system, a president openly saying this would be a major scandal provoking unanimous bipartisan condemnation. In 2018 it’ll be maybe a two day “Democrats criticize...” story.

    Ohr’s job in the Justice Department involved facing off against Russian crime boss Semion Mogilevich whose operatives have been using Trump branded properties to launder millions of dollars for more than three decades.

    Fascism is not an idea. It's an assertion of power for power's sake. You can't argue with it. What sounds like ideas in fascism is (explicitly!) deliberate bullshit meant to keep you idiotically talking while they plot. To normalize it as "opposition" is to give in to it.

    Replying to @rmc031 @JessicaValenti
    I’m with Remnick. In a free society, you argue with the opposition. That’s how you defeat it. Especially the most odious opposition. I like arguments—nobody ever really goes away when you block. My instinct is not to object to platforms, but to push back with better arguments.

    So fucking sick of being right. For once I would like someone to surprise me and surpass my extremely low expectations
