De Santi's culture wars ape government overreach in an attempt to avoid real interventions against gun violence, and health care with distracting nonsense that is crafted to mobilize his base. "I don't like government," as they drive on roads created by the government, get trash hauled away by the government, deposit their social security checks in the FDIC protected bank accounts. "I don't like government" as they meddle with Disney, tell teachers what they can teach.
Luckily Ohio didn't fall for Ohio's nonsense attempt to try and block democracy. (twitter)
I'm going to deadname X because while it's wrong to deadname for individuals, and it's wrong for Elon Musk to do it against his own child, I think it is deserved for a corporation that has basically wrecked the best method for following soccer news, and spreading information. That is why he's wrecking it and opened it up to far right wingnuts. He's suing a watch group the puts a mirror to his actions--he's going to not win like Trump has never won a lawsuit, always quickly dismissed without merit. The law is about truth, and their nonsense doesn't fly in court.
Musk also like stochastic violence threats (Scientific American). If he didn't pay 44 billion to wreck the platform, he would be banned. He's wrecking it on purpose because he doesn't like free speech. And he's monetizing it because volume and advertisements are way down.
I'm as postmodern about the truth as the next guy, although I believe like Roger Trigg that Reality at Risk means you can't throw it all out. I don't care if Tarki's theory of truth doesn't work, we have a common sense notion of what truth is.
Today is the day of the Pueblo Revolt. Native Americans took back their right to self determination against Spanish rule in New Mexico. Po’pay of Ohkay Owingeh organized and led the revolt (source). "The successful revolt kept the Spanish out of New Mexico for 12 years, and established a different power dynamic upon their return. The Pueblo Revolt holds great historical significance because it helped ensure the survival of Pueblo cultural traditions, lands, languages, religions, and sovereignty."
The Pueblo Revolt killed 400 Spaniards and drove the remaining 2,000 settlers out of the province (Wikipedia).
It's a sad day that a Ecuadorian presidential candidate was assassinated. He was the most vocal critic of organized crime in the upcoming election. (New York Times) Fernando Villavicencio was gunned down inside his car.
"Foreign drug mafias have joined forces with local prison and street gangs, unleashing a wave of violence unlike anything in the country’s recent history. Homicide rates are at record levels."
"There are regular reports of car bombings, beheadings and children being gunned down outside their schools."
"Mr. Lasso disbanded the country’s opposition-led National Assembly in May, a drastic move he made as he faced impeachment proceedings over accusations of embezzlement."
"The vote in which Mr. Villavicencio was supposed to compete is set for Aug. 20; a second round of voting will be held in October if no single candidate wins a clear victory."
Just tell me truth speaking journalist and politicians don't matter.
For the death is an OK outcome party, the rise in suicides will be an acceptable outcome. Dramatic distractions are what that party is about. Death is OK, we're all going to die and reducing government might be about trying to increase disillusionment. But more people are killing themselves (source).
