IMO, a part of this is the pluralist ontology you see within centre-left spaces - you don't get any sense of hierarchy or power. The idea of something like e.g. Galbraithian countervailing power is something lost on our modern intellectuals.

First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out (because the message test performed at a low percentile rank compared to other messages in our testing bank for non college men who opt into online surveys through various consumer reward programs)
okay ryan, but does it raise or lower trump's approval rating among people who sign up to take surveys in a digital ad-testing production system? that is the only question that matters

Some liberals are descending on DC this week under the heading of "Liberalism for the 21st Century."
My thoughts: Liberalism has always oriented itself against an enemy and its perceived threats to freedom. Today that threat is clear: ascendant fascism. #LibCon2025

A 72 percent reduction in federal funding is devastating to math research. The American Mathematical Society is offering $1 million in backstop grants—but it’s likely not enough.

Dred Scott lost his case. That he brought it was still crucial. That the defenders of the Slave Power had to go on record clarified the stakes and furthered the cause of Abolition.
I will not make the argument that the courts still matter. but if someone is working day and night to save other people's lives and they are fueled by optimism, let them cook and go touch grass you tedious fuck

What kinds of values should liberals hold? What kind of fights should liberals fight?
Here's one: Fighting against arbitrary power on principle, not only out of self-interest—making an act of self-preservation into one also of defiance and persuasion.
