Here’s a link. His friend is serving an 11 year prison sentence for trafficking a minor, and Gaetz almost certainly paid someone for sex using this guy’s venmo account. “For some reason” the House dropped its ethics investigation into Gaetz after getting a ton of statements and documents.
Gaetz also has admitted to living with a young Cuban immigrant named Nestor since Nestor was 12 years old, who is supposedly the brother of one of Gaetz’s exes, and considers him his “son”, which is a little strange regardless, but is a lot more suspect given the above.

Some Targets in the US have a small selection of sex toys for sale. I know it’s pissed some chuds off, which is fun

They practically claimed DeJoy was going to help Trump steal the 2020 election by destroying the USPS capacity to deliver mail-in ballots, and as SOON as the election was called it’s been radio silence about him ever since. That struck me out of the blue one day in like 2022 and I felt insane

Sometimes, after a life-altering, traumatic, global pandemic, the masses just dislike their current leaders. It just, like, happens I guess.

I just poke around on google earth and street view when I can’t sleep. Helpful for general geography knowledge and for reminding you how big and beautiful the world is

I’ve been on a “political imagination” kick lately. We gotta start trying new shit on smaller scales, to demonstrate to the people watching that we (collectively, individually, locally, and nationally) are competent and trustworthy and can accomplish things. Then we can build up from there

Yeah, I appreciate the occasional dunk, but I’m basically only going to use the news mega anymore. Big fat unforced L from the admins/mods

Bring out Young Dro at the DNC and they both do the shoulder lean

I’m sure you’ve seen it, but this always kills me.
Black metal minus distortion

Tossing around big numbers to estimate things like this is so fun, thanks for the write up!

If you’re into extreme metal at all, Red Nebula is a cool collective of communist and communist-adjacent music. Periodeater is the band on their label I’ve listened to most.

In Blackshirts and Reds, Parenti also talks about how East German officials who prosecuted collaborators were, after reuinfication, held liable to West German laws that made their earlier rulings illegal.
From the footnote on page 83:

Helene Heymann, who had been imprisoned during the Hitler regime for her anti-Nazi activities, later was a judge in the GDR, where she presided over anti-sabotage trials. She was put on trial in 1996. When her conviction was read out, it was pointed out by the judge that an additional factor against her was that she was trained by a Jewish lawyer who had been a defense attorney for the Communists and Social Democrats.

It’ll only take a few minutes (for real, it’s less than 1000 words)! Link

Some days I kinda wish I were this stupid. Life would be a lot simpler if it obeyed baby-brain lib logic

Need to get around to finishing Liberalism, but Losurdo has been a big influence on my worldview the past couple years. Reading his works is like a breath of fresh air. I hope Henry and Salvatore (or others!) can do some more translation work, because more people need to read his stuff.

Alabama caught in the crossfire

Gonna see them for the second time next month!! So fucking hyped
