#Trump’s mind-boggling triumph represents another stage in our long descent into what #GuyDebord called the “ #SocietyoftheSpectacle.” I wrote a piece about it in the context of the pandemic which I believe is still painfully relevant. doncurren.blogspot.com/2022/06/soci...

OMG, this photo. I have walked out of Union Station dozens of times after arriving from NYC and I never saw any need whatsoever for the National Guard at the rideshare pickup island. This is a colossal waste that deserves nothing but derision. www.publicnotice.co/p/democratic...
Don't listen to centrist Democrats about crime
They're wrong on the policy and wrong on the politics.

The political right's nostalgic indulgence in its own mythic portrayals of America’s past throws Fight Club’s cultural ironies into even sharper relief.

😱 concerning to say the least. I see this connected to your other post on “ #SocietyoftheSpectacle.” no?
The question to EVERYONE, is what action to take. If we intake the bullshit, they will serve more. If we don't, they will loose money and serve less. So it is up to our society to drive △
