Update #2. Got a new computer, and getting the old files transferred thanks to tech help.
Update! I managed to kill my computer. Which is great since my manuscript is due back to the press on Sept 30. Fortunately my partner has a work computer and a personal computer, so I can use the latter. And I managed to get my files transferred to drive before death!.

She says from the US where she simply cosplays at being a genocidaire. The Jews who fight back are the inheritors of the tradition of the Jews who were Marxists, socialists, communists, and anarchists. This woman would have been a Kapo.
Sorry, but after thousands of years we are the Jews who fight back. You killed the ones who didn’t . You’re left with us.

That's right. He's a fascist in centrist clothing. An opportunist to the core.
I’m not a Gavin Newsom guy and don’t want him to be the nominee in 2028, but if you think he’s a centrist you need to log off and talk to some normal people.

This is a lot of words and self-aggrandizement for someone who claims to know something that they clearly have no fucking idea about at all.
We can clearly identify the "twitter far-left" as the Faux-Left for many reasons, including: they not only demand total ideological conformity, they also reject any tactical discussion or disagreements over theories of change. This is not in line w/ the broader Leftist tradition.

RT @katewillett: Gavin Newsom has a -15 net approval rating. He’s deeply unpopular. He will lose. The “Abundance” think tank ghouls promot….

Alex is right, the US has moved from Reason to Rationalization.
As far as I can tell, US society, but not only, has been evacuated of its reasoning faculties until further notice. It was already a flickering candle, but it seems to have blown out entirely.

Well, this sucks.
News: Zack Wheeler will miss the rest of the season. Wheeler was diagnosed with venous thoracic outlet syndrome and the recommendation is to undergo thoracic outlet decompression surgery in the coming weeks. The timeline of recovery from the surgery is generally 6-8 months.

This is a fucking joke right?.
#BREAKING.@GavinNewsom has achieved the impossible — he has united a very divided America. THEREFORE, when we return to Washington, D.C. in September I will be NOMINATING him for the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇.

3) leftists reading Schmitt is absolutely not what led to fascists re-reading Schmitt. Instead it was his right-wing fanboys like Ellen Kennedy and George Ullman translating his work. 4) it's more like 30 years, since Agamben started the revival in 1994.

1) it wasn't rehabilitation, it was the "war on terror" and John Yoo that made leftists interested. Attempts to understand staatslogik. 2) people like Habermas and Arendt had already done that work (neither are leftist) in the realm of theory of the state.
Oh, you guys notice NOW that twenty years of leftists trying to rehabilitate Carl Schmitt may not have been a good idea, huh.

Every time I hear that Trump "hates law enforcement because he pardoned Jan 6 rioters," I reach for the safety on my gun.

Democrats should stop listening to Republicans.
Scoop: Third Way is circulating a memo, shared first with @playbookdc, featuring a new black list of words Dems shouldn’t use.
