The conservative cultural project right now is to use the coercive power of the state to do affirmative action for bigots.

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

Insane. Can I take Geology 101 and reject the final exam with "God made the world in 7 days" and get a good grade? Same thing.

If I took a religious studies course on Christianity and submit a citation-free essay ignoring the question, just asserting "Jesus is a false prophet", I'd expect to fail

Click through and read the assignment feedback, which was constructive, kind, and frankly very gentle. Suspending the instructor over this is a deranged overreaction in support of a clearly bad faith student, and the university choosing this action is once again another stain on higher education.

It has been painfully obvious for *decades* that far-right wanted force US to listen to far-right speech while making other speech illegal, but our insanely stupid & short-sighted & hateful Elite joined them in pretending their anti-free-speech agenda was actually free-speech.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

the interesting thing is that Dems actually do have a track record of trying to correct for what they think the errors of the last admin were

so it’s very important that the next standard bearer believes that error was “not going hard enough on Trump” rather than “centrism was failed”
The thing is that Doing What Must Be Done is genuinely really hard and requires extraordinary political will! Biden tried to at least make a stab at it, but fell way short.

There's SO much inertia in favor of "ignore it and hope it goes away"

Some ppl have seemingly forgot that political news media spun up a "Biden secretly has parkinsons" story out of a doctor visiting the WH while the admin was working on Parkinsons policy or that Nuzzis big "Biden didnt remember me" piece was written when she was secretly working for RFK Jrs campaign

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Part of why Trump won in 2016 was he was an "outsider" who promised to "end corruption." He did not end corruption, he is a big "to the victor belongs the spoils of the enemy" guy. He's a spoiled and corrupt person, who has spoiled and corrupted his party and government. That story sells itself.

I guess my only problem with the "strong floor, no ceiling" thing as a political slogan is it makes no sense, conveys no message, does not translate to anyone, and does not mean anything.

Say what you want about "Make America Great Again" but it immediately meant something to everyone who heard it, especially the Republican voters to whom it was directed. Which is the point of slogans.

My God, Jeffries is the fucking worst. He has negative political instincts.

For another thing, it's a fearful loser slogan. It's an extension of 35-40 years of loser Democratic politics in which all they care about is not being called commies by Republicans. Guess what: they're gonna call you commies anyway, so maybe fucking stand for something.

A reminder that UCLA faculty are under extreme austerity measures and staff people have been laid off.

“South Campus” is a set of derelict buildings 45 minutes away, certainly constituting at a net loss for the university, one of number of questionable real estate deals.

Checks and balances are strengthened when Congress isn’t gerrymandered.

Checks and balances are strengthened when we have clearer protections for rights and prohibitions against corruption and other abuses
What we need to strengthen is the checks and balances. But most of all, we need the political and institutional will to enforce the rules we already have

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt.

But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
