My first piece for The Unpopulist:
Trump and Vance's attacks on Harris' identity and Walz's public and military service stems from their movement's escalating self-radicalization.
The MAGAworld's criteria for inclusion into the category it sees as "real America" continues to shrink.

People waving pre-made “Mass Deportation” signs at the RNC. The GOP is beyond redemption and needs to be erased from American politics.

Harm reduction is a drug policy term. It's bad enough that Dem operatives are using it for voting.

Does "right and proper" mean "acceptable" or "mandatory"
Because (and I very well may be wrong here) his statements seem, to me, consistent with both being acceptable and neither being mandatory.

Before Biden dropped out, a columnist wrote, "Kamala Harris Would Be the Best Democratic Choice." After Biden dropped out, the same columnist wrote, "Kamala Harris Isn't the Change Democrats Need." This sort of cynicism is what's wrong with punditry. My latest: www.readtpa.com/p/when-pundi...

Thank you for writing it. I knew bits and pieces of Lynn’s misuse of IQ tests but not the full extent.
I found it infuriating that he was taking studies that were looking at the effects of malnutrition on IQ and treating them as the baseline.

When the right pules about "censorship," they never seem to have any compunction whatsoever about the fact that what is being "censored" is an obvious and odious lie. We should have more courage in suppressing (though not through government power) the dissemination of bullshit.

No idea. I never saw the final book, but I'm guessing my comment was ignored. Given his apparent dedication to the cause of racism, it's hard to imagine that a stray criticism from a copyeditor would deter him. Always been glad that I did what I could to object, though.

Can’t read the whole piece. But what I read made me apoplectic. This is sick. Wrong. Stupid. Intolerable. Instead of horsewhipping the guy and running him out of town on a rail they praise and honor him for his stupid and vicious racism? Can hardly believe my eyes.

Ken Klippenstein is streaming with George Galloway. The Young Turks are hosting RFK Jr. One ex bernie spokesperson is streaming with candace owens and another is defending Nick Fuentes. Brianna Wu is hanging with lauren southern. Maybe now is the time to re-evaluate how the left chooses celebrities.

wild to think that protocol level design decisions are the only thing that kept the entire queer community on here from being forcibly splintered this week
imagine how much harder it would be to find out what’s going on if bad actors can just go “yeah you don’t get to see those people anymore”
