Have I said that before? I feel like I've said that before. When we don't learn the lessons of the past, we are doomed to repeat them. The corollary is that when we don't repeat the lessons of the past—literally repeat these things we know—we tend to forget we know them.

Certainly there seems to be a certain amount of license granted to Republicans for the sort of things that ought to end careers. There's a bunch of hacked emails on prominent Republicans that news organizations (who published when Democrats were the subject) are just sitting on.

At least one journalist in possession of such documents says this newfound probity is because the sorts of scandals contained therein are so common to what is already known about Republicans they wouldn't "move the needle." Maybe they think we're bored.

But maybe we need to repeat history's lessons before we're doomed to relive them; remember how we got here even if we already know.Lots of people forget Mitt Romney ran an anti-immigrant campaign in 2012. A *severely* conservative campaign—remember?Read On: https://www.the-reframe.com/the-rot-goes-to-the-core/

I don't trust any publication that won't call a Nazi rally a Nazi rally, and won't call people who organize one Nazis.

Christians of good intentions need to accept the fact that the signs and symbols of Christianity now represent a genuine menace and a credible threat of violence to all the kinds of people Jesus told followers to serve. The cross once again represents only a tool of authoritarian torture and death.

I presume what would really offend republican voters would be allegations that Gaetz fed the children after he raped them

Every conservative argument about healthcare, like every conservative argument about every other topic, is predicated around the proposition “in what way is our system helping human beings and how can we stop that?”

Hello, I’m a disruptor, very smart, here to create efficiency. I’m just going to drill holes in the bottom of this boat to see which parts of the hull are mission-critical.

The ethos of MAGA is demolishing livable society for themselves because they are so captured by bigotry that the thought of sharing a livable society with others causes them psychological trauma. They've sold their inheritance for a bowl of poison, and they lick their fingers as they gobble it down.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Pretty wild to be living in a time when humans are being forced to work in order to even be considered deserving of life or even to be considered human at all, while simultaneously human labor is being systematically eliminated from the concept of work.

If I could change one thing about US culture, it would be this unshakeable and absolutely backward belief that life must be earned, and generating profit is how you earn it. Life is a human right. Profit must be earned, and those who want to earn it must respect human rights in order to do so.

The reason Substack pushed a Nazi blog onto people's phones is because—as founder Hamish McKenzie said in his response to Substackers Against Nazis 2 yrs ago—he believes it is valuable and important to platform Nazi voices.This sort of thing is not a one-off. https://www.the-reframe.com/questions-for-substack/

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." https://www.the-reframe.com/the-crime-of-human-virtue/

Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. https://www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-game/

It almost seems as if the United States was founded on a bunch of hellish rape plantations run for the obscene enrichment of a gang of already obscenely wealthy slavers.
