What the El Paso Mass Shooting Tells Us About the Operationalization of Fascist Violence this was an incidence of political violence, not yet another in a series of "gun shootings," such as Sandy Hook, or Orlando, or San Bernardino, or Las Vegas.

It was precisely this obeisance to exceptionalism"

Forty Short Post-Election Theses: Where We Stand Now and Where We Go From Here The Democratic party insisted on nominating a scandalous candidate not because they are stupid but because they wanted to preserve neoliberalism at all costs. This is why the entire party establishment fell in line, it was more important to protect neoliberalism than stop fascism. They deliberately gambled with the future of the country and lost.

Hillarybots, You Blew It! Thanks for Another Decade of War, Misery, and Scandal New York Hillarybots are the same as Hillarybots everywhere. Only ten times worse. They were presented with a golden opportunity to stick it to the establishment that has been screwing us over for decades, making us all miserable (yes, even you New Yorkers), but they went with the cynical choice. And the majority of you voted knowing you were making the cynical choice.

New Books of Note: September 4, 2015 Edition I have been full of anticipation for this essential biography of one of the most colorful men of letters of the second half of the twentieth century: Vidal lived the kind of explosive, interconnected, indispensable literary life--without which the shape of American letters would have been different--that feels altogether extinct now.
