I earnestly believe that this is far more effective political communication than ‘the thing about the length of ice training is… and we must secure our borders but…’. People aint listening to all that
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

i don't believe that an important factor in how the current political moment unfolds is whether people are nice to richard hanania online, and you cannot make me believe that

Incredibly embarrassing thing to say outloud in any case, but also I’m hard pressed to think of a pundit who is more predictable than Bari Weiss

these guys are conservative, but, *get this*, they *also* have a narrow and hierarchical conception of masculinity!
This man's entire job is to classify one-dimensional right-wing movements as far too complicated to place on the ideological spectrum.

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.
"If you're explaining, you're losing." –Senator Ruben Gallego on the "Abolish ICE" debate.

Once again suggesting the Texans consider punting on first down and relying on their defense to turn the ball over because that is more promising than their offense

respect for the academic enterprise constitutively involves being disdainful of bad arguments. literally the whole point is to distinguish good arguments from bad arguments
I want to address my friend Ilan who says here that he has been subject to “a lot of hate” from academics who “should know better” and haven’t respected the “academic enterprise.”
I don’t dislike Ilan. I also think his paper is fundamentally wrong and not scholarly.

Setting aside the moral and intellectual critiques one could levy, the political savvy that concludes that podcasting with Ben Shapiro will help one win the democratic presidential primary is not one I’d be inclined to bet on
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."
