Sometimes they hang on to the dead ideas of their ideological anchor even harder when they never really talk to the person anymore. Or worse yet, the anchor is dead.

But some sense of guilt, some desire to keep that link alive causes a kind of emotional transference.

By standing up for the nonsense, or worse yet the violence and bigotry of this person they are "keeping their memory alive"

It can be very frustrating.

"What everyone misses is that while we are sure in a democratic crisis, this is also a rare moment of clarity. By refusing to cave, Democrats forced America to see the tradeoff for what it is: families paying more so billionaires can become richer."

One of the delights of working for the Voice of America in the Cohen Federal Building was the New Deal era frescoes and murals. Along with VOA and its staff, it now appears these treasured American works of art are to be a DOGE casualty. newrepublic.com/article/201204 #SaveVOA

I love history. Fucking love it. It's one of my favorite subjects.

But history is what we make of it. It's no good to say that we have to write things down so they won't be forgotten. We have to fight like hell so the things we've written down won't be burned. There are forces in the world which actively seek to cause things to be forgotten. History is not truth, it's just the stuff that survived the fire.

We are always living in a crucial time of history. There is no time which isn't crucial. And the judgment of history is fickle and governed by the powerful.

Brilliant point well made by David Osland.

We're told pensions are 'unsustainable’, the Post Office is ‘unsustainable’ and now that the NHS is 'unsustainable'. They were all entirely sustainable before the private sector starting looting the public sector.

Reading the shocked reactions that Apple and Google removed ICE warning apps from their stores, I think that more should probably read about the role of IBM during the holocaust. Can we please finally get rid of the fairytale of social corporate responsibility in big tech?

The problem isn’t that DHH finally said the quiet part out loud.

The problem is that you’re still pretending it’s shocking, still refusing to connect the dots, and still showing the world that whiteness matters more to you than justice.

Know what would be great counterprotesting on Thursday when Kash wants a perp walk? Adelita Grijalva and some Epstein survivors talking about the lengths Trump is going to cover up the Epstein files.
