Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust
Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

the most likely result of anything that happens is nothing. if you are worried that zohran found common ground with trump or thrilled that trump is going to "help" you should turn off your phone.
but if you are in line to tell a show tunes joke or post a meme of marx with laser eyes, stay in line.

I’m not worried that the AI bubble will herald the end of capitalism as we know it - or even the end of the AI boom.
I'm worried that it will result in a massive upwards transfer of wealth - and further endanger our democracies in the process.

We're primarying John Fetterman.
Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.
We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

Not to lay my cards on the table but I think this narrow focus in online discourse on who deserves to be rewarded really elides the actual societal value of the education system (teaching members of society important stuff that it's valuable for them to know)

As if wasn't already repulsive enough, the Catholic League has decided to use this to explain away the OTHER most visible case of widespread child sex abuse on this side of the century. Absolutely disgusting stuff.
Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

Someone should ask Starmer and Mahmood whether they think the Kindertransport, for example, should have been a return ticket. Whether Alf Dubs, rather than becoming a Labour MP and now Lord, ought to have been sent back with his family to Czechoslovakia once it was liberated from German rule.
This contribution to the volume of human misery is yet another policy from Labour based on a false premise, in this case that refugees are overly attracted to Britain. It will increase bureaucratic limbo, thus making worse the problem of "cohesion" it purports to solve.

Something that I appreciated in this analysis is the grace Ramsay proffers to the "realo" wing of the party post 2015; differences in strategy are learning opportunities and can strengthen coalitions, not rend them apart!
