Nexus X HumectressPence abandons the ship as it sinks. His function in the Trump administration was to triangulate the relationship between Trump, the neocons, and the Christian Zionists while facilitating the relationship between the two. The neocons are now pulling back one of their front men among the Trumpists. White […]
Are you fucking kidding me? Most shameful day? It barely scratches the surface. Read up on the history of massacres in the US. And that’s before we even get into actual genocide, slavery, war atrocities, ethnic and religious persecution, state repression, violent labor clashes, etc., etc., etc., etc. […]
Associated Press Four people died as supporters of President Donald Trump violently occupied the U.S. Capitol. Washington, D.C., Police Chief Robert Contee said the dead on Wednesday included a woman who was shot by the U.S. Capitol Police, as well as three others who died in “medical emergencies.” […]
Probably the most hilarious headline of the day. By Laurel Wamsley, National Public Radio Former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton condemned the violence in the nation’s capital on Wednesday — and the president who fueled it. Bush, the only living former Republican president, said he was […]
That doesn’t even begin to describe it. The USA has been organizing coups, state terrorism, mob violence, and civil wars all over the world for generations. By Nebojsa Malic, Russia Today A crowd of protesters stormed Congress protesting a presidential election they claimed had been fraudulent. When this […]
By Amelia Heymannm WRIC WASHINGTON, D.C. (WRIC) — Rioters have stormed the U.S. Capitol and entered the chamber floor. The building is now in lockdown and lawmakers have been asked to wear gas masks or leave their offices. The breach of the building occurred as Congress was debating […]
But 20% are in favor. By Matthew Smith, Jamie Ballard, Linley Sanders YouGov. Com Supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol earlier this afternoon to protest lawmakers certifying Joe Biden’s election victory. According to initial reports, one person was shot and killed and at least one explosive […]
By Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic Insurrection Day, 12:40 p.m.: A group of about 80 lumpen Trumpists were gathered outside the Commerce Department, near the White House. They organized themselves in a large circle, and stared at a boombox rigged to a megaphone. Their leader and, for some, savior—a […]
For decades, I always thought that in an actual revolutionary situation, it would be the urban lumpenproletariat that was taking down the muncipales and the rural suburban lumpenproletariat that was taking down the federales. Events of the past six months seem to have confirmed that suspicion, with some […]
We are a long way from an actual revolutionary situation. As long as the stock market is doing well, and as long as the military remains loyal to the state, there is no revolution. Those two things are the only two things the power elite care about. When […]
By Tristan Justice, The Federalist Two pipe bombs detonated in a controlled explosion at the Republican National Committee’s Washington, D.C., headquarters, a party official who is not authorized to go on record confirmed to The Federalist. The bombs were located in the back of the building, the official […]
Richmond.Com Protesters backing President Donald Trump massed outside statehouses from Georgia to New Mexico on Wednesday, leading some officials to evacuate while cheers rang out at several demonstrations as a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol. Hundreds of people gathered in state capitals nationwide to oppose President-elect Joe […]
By Aaron Feis and Larry Celona, New York Post Disturbing video captures the moment a woman was fatally shot in the chest inside the US Capitol Building on Wednesday, as President Trump supporters intent on disrupting the certification of the presidential election stormed in.
Of all the hills to die on.
Carlson is probably correct that this incident will be used as a pretext for a crackdown on “domestic terrorism.” This gives the system the pretext it needs.
Kyle Kulinski’s two cents worth.
David Pakman had a livestream going on.
Tim Pool’s commentary as the incident was happening.
The Little League Falange wannabes make their move. I generally favor anti-system violence regardless of where it comes from or what foolish cause it’s attached to. Decades ago, I predicted that while the struggle against the US state/ruling class/power elite would cut across ordinary ideological, cultural, and class […]
By Saphara Harrell – Salem Reporter A supporter of far-right group Patriot Prayer is facing several felony charges related to a protest at the Oregon Capitol on Dec. 21, where demonstrators pushed their way into the closed building and kicked in a door to protest Covid restrictions. Chandler […]
Ideally, the fragmentation of the Democraps would proceed at the same pace as the fragmentation of the Repugnicans. Good work, Jimmy Dore.
I love it. Fragment, fragment, fragment… Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the latest updates on President Trump’s “stop the steal” movement, ahead of the Electoral College confirmation to take place in Congress today.
The best thing about the “Stop the Steal” scam is the exacerbated division between Trumpists and neocons it has caused, the pig vs right-winger street clashes that have resulted, and the mockery of the state that is taking place. Keep up the good work, Donald and friends. Krystal […]
McGovern’s revenge marches on. The relegation of the GOP to permanent minority status and the creation of a de facto one party state like Mexico’s PRI in the 20th century or Sweden’s Social Democrat would have disadvantages (like a less divided government) but we anti-systemists would be less […]
By Peter R. Quinones I’ve been contacted by many people who have heard me talk about Machiavellianism but have no clear understanding of what I’m trying to communicate. As we weren’t taught this in government schools, that’s understandable. This is information that “the powers that be” benefit from […]
Why stop at the Senate? Why not the whole fucking government? Once again, social democrats display their appalling lack of vision. By Daniel Lazare, The Jacobin With Republican Senate victories in Montana, South Dakota, Iowa, Arkansas, Colorado, North Carolina, and West Virginia, Democrats are reeling from their worst […]
It looks like China is conducting a purge of the disfavored sectors of its ruling class. China functions in roughly the same way as a traditional royalist/feudal society. An absolute monarch, Xi Jinping, is the head of state, and occasionally offs royal ministers, aristocrats, capitalists, or clerics that […]
The New York Times is and always has been, as Abbie Hoffman said, “the voice of the ruling class,” particularly the northeastern based financial elites who have always been the dominant sector of the US ruling class (and which has now merged with the tech elite). The WaPo […]
By Grace Hauck, USA TODAY CHICAGO – Bodycam videos released by a local activist Tuesday show how a Chicago police officer drove into a woman more than a year ago, knocking her to the ground and crushing her leg beneath the SUV for more than eight minutes as she bled in the […]
Excellent. I generally have a favorable view of all who fight pigs in the street, irrespective of who they are or how idiotic their cause is. By Sinead Baker, Business Insider Supporters of President Trump clashed with police and at least six were arrested on Tuesday night. The […]
A new turn in the rookie league gang wars?
Hahahaha. Good one.
The historical overview of US “progressivism” Kim outlines in this is fairly accurate. It’s true there used to be plenty of Republican progressives. They were around when I was a kid. Although as an anarchist, I obviously have zero regard for Teddy Roosevelt.
This “Force the Vote” dustup among progressoids arguing about how to go about begging the ruling class for more crumbs has been a hilarious site to behold.
Tulsi has got to be planning something with these moves. I think if she defected to the Republicans she might actually develop a larger following there. She is one of the few liberals that conservatives tend to respect.
LOL. I disagree with all of these guys are certain things but I also respect all of them. I view all of them a distant cousins from the same collection of ancestral tribes.
Here we go again. When the pandemic started, I was sure it was going to last for years, with multiple waves, and subsequent waves being worse than the ones before. Sometimes it sucks to be right. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the latest coronavirus luckdowns enforced in […]
The worst thing about Trump has been his complete fealty to Israel and Saudi Arabia. But the declining prestige of Saudi Arabia and to a lesser degree Israel in the US is welcome news. DC Bureau Chief at The Intercept, Ryan Grim, discusses the current tensions in the […]
Thank goodness. I was beginning to be concerning that riots are going out of style. “Oh, rioting is so 2020…” Right now, businesses are boarding up and roads are being blocked ahead of expected protests that are set to occur tomorrow in Washington, D.C.
LOL. Team Rising discusses Vice President Elect Kamala Harris allegedly plagiarizing a story from Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in an interview with Elle Magazine in October of 2020.
I wish AOC luck on this one. Team Rising discusses the possibility of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez running against Sen. Chuck Schumer in the New York Senate primary.
Duh? Krystal Ball describes what’s at stake for Democratic Party in the Georgia Senate elections, particularly $2000 stimulus checks. She analyzes the likelihood that President Elect Biden will push for more checks if Democrats have a majority in the Senate.
Saagar Enjeti analyzes the real motivations of the congressmen supporting the “stop the steal” movement, by objecting to the certification of the Electoral College vote.
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti give an overview on the Georgia Senate elections taking place today. They analyze the impact of President Trump’s public criticism of election security.
By Angela Chen, The Atlantic David Jay is the oldest of 12 cousins on one side of his family and the third-oldest of 24 cousins on the other. As a kid, family to Jay meant having a lot of people around, a feeling of community, and crucially, a […]
By James Lindsay, New Discourses As unlikely as it seems, a highly obscure academic theory known as Critical Race Theory has completely mainstreamed in society, and now everyone is discussing it. While Critical Race Theory has the noble goal of pointing out problems that can be hard to […]
