Institutional and partisan liberalism in America has a serious pipeline problem. We don't lack for big donors or policy nonprofits or activist orgs. But the path from being a young, talented liberal without backing to becoming a leading voice has fallen into disrepair gofund.me/9eafa1719
Underrated post of the year imo, have thought back on it a lot lately
Abrego Garcia coming home feels like the point where we can say Trump’s revolution failed. He’s screwed up a lot of stuff and things could still get pretty hellish. But they’re not going to sweep away the American government and replace it with a dictatorship, at least without a lot of fights

Macedo and Lee faked a concern about famous doctors being “censored” to pave the way for actual purges and censorship.

This Christmas, I have upgraded my parenting attitude towards Lego from "nuisance" to "nemesis for life"

This Christmas morning, I'm contemplating writing a follow-up to my fascism piece from April (www.liberalcurrents.com/yes-its-fasc...) to check on its progress & highlight how although the political tides are shifting, formal control of the US federal government is sufficient to do a lot of fascism.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.

I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.

They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.
Trump’s Immigration Nightmare: It Is Happening Here
With astonishing speed, the administration has toppled the most cherished pillars of a free society. And the experts agree: It’s all going to get much, much worse.

no — i do not think the ellisons hired bari weiss to 'dismantle public trust in cbs news.' they hired her to go soft on trump so they can have an easier time getting mergers through. destroying public trust in the org is a byproduct
This is generally true, but *not* as applies to Barry Weiss — she was hired to dismantle public trust in CBS News, not to manage the organization through a challenging time of declining general public trust.
the GOP has waged a decades-long campaign against the press that has left it weak and frankly paranoid
bari weiss and many in her position at other orgs believe the solution to this is to go soft on Trump to win GOP audiences back
this will be their downfall www.gelliottmorris.com/i/174183474/...

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:

My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.

Huh? When did I say that?!

She’s so condescending and yet vapid
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."

One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."
