Blood Will Tell: Trump and Sessions Strike Historic Blow for Civil Rights President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order today overturning the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, saying former President Abraham Lincoln's action had been "hugely unfair" to Southern property owners. "Free enterprise more important than political correctness!" Mr. Trump tweeted immediately after signing the executive order. "Beanpole Abe should know better! Sad!"

Historical Ignorance, Spineless "Dissent": The Dangers of Decorous Resistance I don't think fascists should be treated with kid gloves. We're talking about people who, like Yiannopoulos, are openly, adamantly intent on causing real harm to actual human beings. It's not an abstract debate. It's not a game. It's not reality TV. These ugly, hate-oozing fascists mean business; and by god, so should we.

Bloodsport: Trump Carries on Presidential Tradition, Notches First Child Murder During the race for the presidency, Donald Trump said he would "go after the families" of terrorists. On Sunday, his 10th day in office, he did just that: he killed 8-year-old Nawaar al-Awlaki, the daughter of US citizen Anwar al-Awlaki, an accused al Qaeda operative killed by Barack Obama in 2011. "She was hit with a bullet in her neck and suffered for two hours," said the eight-year-old's grandfather, as Reuters reports.

No Comeback for Torture -- It's Never Gone Away Donald Trump used his first nationally televised interview as president to declare his firm belief that "torture works." Of course, as innumerable studies have shown, torture doesn't "work" at all -- if by "work" you mean the gathering of credible information. But Trump will not be bringing torture "back": it's never gone away.

Infinite Jest: Liberals Laughing All the Way to Hell I find few encouraging signs among the generations now in ascendance -- but I do see a fire and an openness to genuine change in some of the younger generations, including my children. If we can hold on until it's their time, if we can shore up enough fragments against the ruins until they can shape the world, there might be hope. We owe them that.

Sitzkrieg on the Potomac: The Phony War Between Trump and the Deep State as long as we all keep chasing every burp of his twitter feed or spit-spewing bluster of his public statements -- while treating every nocturnal emission of the intelligence factions as gospel truth -- we'll stay lost in the fog of this phony war ... even as our elites (Trump very much included) continue to devour the world and take us further into darkness, division, ruin and strife.

Langley Literalists, Economic Brutalists, Torture Protectors and More: A Month in the Madhouse We seem to be living in a civilization that, for whatever reason or reasons, has decided to eat itself alive. GOP-controlled states are putting in even MORE restrictions on voting, as in Michigan just a few days ago. The work of restricting the vote goes on and on, without any outcry, any scandal, any opposition.

Eyes Wide Shut: Flying Blind in an Age of Atrocity As long as our governments pursue the agenda of advancing and maintaining economic and political dominion in the world -- by whatever means necessary -- then the fallout, the blowback from these policies will continue. It is striking how our savants can recognize this in regard to other countries, but never our own.

An al Qaeda Christmas: The Touching Tale of How Hate Figures Became American Heroes you've lost your foothold in Aleppo, where for years you systematically persecuted people and forcibly prevented them from leaving. But America's still got your back, AQ! Even when you attack relief convoys in an attempt to scuttle a peace deal that would allow anyone who wants to leave East Aleppo to go free, the American media will fudge the headlines so no one will know that it was you who did the deed.

Subversion Blues: Chasing Will-o'-the-wisps While the Junta Gathers Force All the time and energy that could have been spent building a broad front of resistance has now been wasted. Trump will go on his merry way, despoiling and destroying, while Democrats keep stamping their feet and crying, "Putin did it! Putin did it! It's not fair!" And the darkness grows deeper.

Message From the Future: Your Acceptance of Evil Has Condemned Us All You are taking a path into darkness. It began years ago, with your acceptance of crimes and inhuman practices on a vast scale. This was the nominal end of your democracy, but it was already deeply rotted from within -- rotted by your years of turning a blind eye to monstrous crimes committed in your name by both factions in your power structure.

In Like Flynn: Blowback for Filth-Peddling Fascists Little Flynn's twitter-storm is in keeping with the Trump Truth doctrine, which holds that you can make any outrageous claim you like without the slightest bit of evidence to back it up -- and it's up to other people to prove that your specious bullshit is not true.

Smear-Mongering: A Mea Culpa for the Age of McCarthyism 2.0 There is only one kind of critic of US foreign policy that is not regarded as a Kremlin agent: those who criticize Washington for not being even more bloodthirsty and aggressive in its foreign policy. Those kind of outlets never land on our new McCarthyite lists. And here's another odd fact: PropORNot's list of those who peddle "fake news" doesn't include Breitbart.com, which is one of the master bullshit purveyors of the age.

Black Mirror: Trump's Triumph and America's Truth Yes, Trump is a loathsome toad, but he's no surprise, no unprecedented, out-of-the-blue eruption of a new dark turn in American politics. That darkness has always been there, and it has to be fought, again and again and again. We fought Reagan, and we survived him. We'll fight Trump, and we'll survive him too.

Barrel Bomb: The Cataclysmic Close of Campaign 2016 After the scorched-earth tactics of bipartisan neoliberalism and the inevitable moral degradation and brutalization that comes from year after year after year of vicious aggressive war, the choice for Trump is more nihilistic. It's as if people believe positive change is no longer possible -- so let's tear everything down and see what happens.

Castroturf: Crude Red-Baiting Hides True Trump Danger There is only one way to deal with nations condemned as "outlaw states" by the Washington power structure: they must be taken down, one way or another, like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Serbia, Syria. How can we ever negotiate in good faith with an outlaw dictator who is subverting our political process and trying to take over the world?

Imperial Submission: When Dissidents Take a Turn to Empire We must support the Machine--the "culture or environment" of American militarism--that perpetrated those atrocities in order to destroy a group that would not exist without the interventions of "Western military and economic power." We must take it on trust that after decades of the brutal, inhuman, murderous operations this Machine will now save our "values" from destruction.

All-Day Permanent Red: The Living Death of Perpetual Emergency Natural human propensity -- which has waxed and waned in various forms over the centuries -- has been magnified to the nth degree by the moral and psychological disfigurements of the Terror War. Today we also have the curse of 24/7 corporate news channels and the sleepless howling of the internet to batter the mind with an unending series of "urgent" dangers to our lives, our beliefs, our identities.

"Close Your Hearts to Pity": A Security State Critic Embraces Total War What William Arkin is doing, ultimately, is "embracing" the most extremist stance of the Terror Warriors: that we should stop all this pussyfooting around and just slaughter these wretches of "pure evil" with a savage war that "won't be pretty." This, he says -- just like Trump, Cruz and many others -- is a "better path" to peace than our "muddled reasonableness."
