Some thoughts on the persistence of indigenous resistance in the PNW, viral imperialism, Biden pumping billions to cops and the Pentagon, how Eisenstein almost ended up in Stalin's gulag, Miles' Lambourghini, & the legacy of the great Marshall Sahlins... counterpunch.org/2021/04/09/…

Roaming Charges: Just a Shot Away

I spent a few days last week at the mouth of the Columbia River, talking with members of the Chinook tribal people, whose ties to these tidal flats, rivers and coastal rainforests date back at least...

Wittgenstein, who was apparently the Benny Goodman of philosophers on the clarinet, even though he detested any music composed after Brahms as "too mechanized"...

This is a lie. Protesters did not storm Iowa’s Capitol...they had a permit, they went through security, the building is open to the public. Per Des Moines Register, the one arrest was of a high school student an officer claimed “pushed my arm in an attempt to gain my attention."

Reviewing another attorney's contract with my client - $15,000 to apply for a U visa if paid in full. $17,500 if paid through a predatory lender the attorney recommends. So, the attorney makes $2,500 more just because you're poor, not bc they're doing $2,500 more worth of work.

"Saw eDeadhead sticker on a Cadillac" was one of the few true lines Don Henley ever wrote, without appearing to realize he was singing about himself.

For many US liberals, there's no hideous crime that can't be beautified with a few well-placed rainbow stickers.

Prince Philip to European aristocracy was what Donald Trump is to American "liberal democracy": an embarrassment—the men who flaunt the ugly truth from under the thin veneer of their bourgeois etiquette. aljazeera.com/opinions/2017/…

The priceless racism of the Duke of Edinburgh

Prince Philip has done the world an extraordinary service by exposing the racist hypocrisy of "Western civilisation".

2 of ?/ So I just went for a bike ride, when I do some of my best thinking, and this came back to me for some reason. Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 had come out. Was it agitprop to some extent? Yes, it was, but it was also a great piece of anti-war filmmaking and saved lives...

President Biden wants $715 billion for the Dept. of Defense, a 1.5% increase over last year. The already inflated Pentagon budget did nothing to protect us from a global pandemic, an economic recession, or the climate crisis. Increasing that budget now would be a grave mistake.

It's hard to get more elite (frozen food heir) or dogmatic than Tucker Carlson...
JD Vance
@JDVance9 Apr 2021
Tucker Carlson is the only powerful figure who consistently challenges elite dogma—on both cultural and economic questions. That is why they try to destroy him. Don’t fall for it this time, or any other.
