For context, there are 1.64 billion cars in the world, most of which run on fuel which, when burnt, causes or exacerbates respiratory diseases.

I kind of assumed Ezra Klein was a well-meaning-but-naive centrist liberal. This article outlines pretty clearly that no, his actual politics are pretty reprehensible, however he self-indentifies.

It's fascinating and revealing how many centrists think refusing to compromise on human rights to gain the support of bigots represents a "political purity test," yet also think that a bigot saying "I won't join you unless you accommodate my bigotry" does NOT represent a "political purity test."

No, let's really not start blaming mental illness for these people's greed and warped values. When they're replaced by sane people with the same horrifying priorities, things will get worse not better.
This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

British politics is just this, on all sides. Utter bastards screaming the worst kind of vile bullshit about people weaker than them, and then immediately claiming to be bullied by the woke mob when there's any pushback. Time and time again. It's not a serious system at all.

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.
yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.
Hegseth: "We are overhauling an inspector general process that has been weaponized, putting complainers and poor performers in the driver seat. We are doing the same with the equal opportunity policies. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complains ... no more walking on eggshells."
