Nexus X HumectressBy Damon Linker The Week Earlier this week, in Philadelphia, I went to my first concert since before the COVID-19 pandemic began. The Phoebe Bridgers show took place outdoors. Admittance required proof of vaccination. (A recent negative test result was insufficient.) Concertgoers were also required to wear masks. […]
Sean Gabb (22nd September 2021) I never buy newspapers, and I seldom look at them. But I did make a point of observing the collective blast of hot air from the political and media establishments when news was released of our latest entanglement with the Americans. Since we […]

By Eduardo Romanos Anarchism refers to a tradition of social and political thought that in the 1860s emerged as an organized political force. Since then, anarchism has inspired protests, organizations and movements, mainly in Europe, Russia and the Americas, but also in other parts of the world. While […]

The latest in massive US government spending on imperialist projects: a bill to fund Israel’s Iron Dome passed on Thursday, providing $1 billion in backing to the air defense system. Eight Democrats voted against the bill, with a final vote of 420 to 9 (2 representatives voting present). […]
By Eduardo Romanos and José Luis Ledesma ‘[May Day is celebrated] year after year, without interruption’, wrote the Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno (1907), ‘and this celebration seems to assume a ritual, a liturgical character.

Kyle breaks down the data which shows that Biden is more hawkish on immigration than Trump was. From the comments thread: I think Tulsi might be moving toward the Dave Rubin/Tim Pool approach—”I used to be ‘left’ and saw the error of my ways,” and she’ll woo right-wingers […]
Both Tulsi and Andrew Yang seem to have expired their utility at this point. Tulsi did a good deed by attacking Kamala and Mayor Peter in the primaries, and Yang did a good deed by bringing ideas like UBI, drug legalization, and automation into the mainstream. But they’re […]
Apparently, Joe is trying to be a standup comedian.
I disagree with Kyle here in the sense that I do think there is an effort to purge the military of conservatives and/or Trumpists because their loyalty to the Bidenist regime is questionable.

There is no one in Congress that even comes close to being a libertarian, whether left, right, anarchist, minarchist, libertarian socialist, or libertarian capitalist. Thomas Massie and Rand Paul specifically deny that they are libertarians and claim to be “constitutional conservatives” (paleocons). Justin Amash may have come close […]
Reuters WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The leader of the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee introduced legislation on Wednesday to provide $1 billion to Israel to replenish its “Iron Dome” missile-defense system, a day after the funding was removed from a broader spending bill. Some of the most liberal House Democrats had objected to the provision and said they would […]
