As the fight for democracy goes inward and autocracies gloat, the number of those of us who still demand democracy promotion abroad continues to dwindle…
To one. To the last neoconservative.
Pinned
There are still folks who get that fighting autocracy abroad is a vital part of fighting for democracy at home. Most are younger than I and have their own labels. Others have dropped the one that I adopted in college. But I refuse to give it up. So I am the last neoconservative.

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

This is the most glamorous opening to an article about a white supremacist flattering journalist who lied to her readers and editors while having an affair with narcissistic crank who eats roadkill, swims in sewer water, will cause children to die, and is 50 years her senior that I've ever read.

The phrase "sucked in" is true, but not in the way he uses it. He means the campaign was all about identity. It was not. "Sucked in" means Democrats are terrible at rising to bait and letting their opponents frame the debate, therefore creating an impression of a campaign they didn't actually run.
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25
Pete Buttigieg critiques Democrats for focus on identity
The former U.S. transportation secretary said the Democratic Party should focus more on issues gripping the country, such as health care and housing affordability.

Both parties should support this. Using AI to generate a video of a candidate saying something he didn’t say should be illegal. Especially since many voters think it is real. I will condemn any candidate from either party who does this.

This is maybe the first time I’ve felt he’s in actual trouble. I never thought Mueller would get him, nor did I expect Biden to go for the throat. I don’t know how it ends here, and I’m not saying he can’t get out of it. But it’s the worst trouble he’s been in.

I have been through this rodeo several times already. It does not scare me. Release every. damn. thing. I would rather know than continue supporting a terrible person in ignorance.
"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

We have a housing crisis in the US

In 1985, the median income was $23,620, and the median price of a home was $84,300 - 3.6 times the typical income

In 2023, the median price of a home was $428,600 - 5.3 times the median income of $80,061

50-year mortgages are NOT the answer; we need more houses

Are they going to charge JP Morgan’s corpse?
In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Huh.

Trump dropped the tariffs on coffee, beef, and tropical fruit to LOWER PRICES.

I thought other countries paid for those?

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia
