I almost got to break that story for The Nation, but The Economist beat us to it by a day or two.

Speaking again of Summers, I wrote this in my newsletter in May 2000. Larry answers the question “is Africa still vastly underpolluted?"

Or as someone once said, "If you're a star, they let you do it."

Same thing "we" have done by demonizing Black men and boys as predators. If people are licensed by their position in the hierarcy, it's somehow not predation to the opinion-makers.

what if the firehose of fascist shit isn't wiping out the memory of the electorate? what if it's just hitting different things? and idk it seems like a persisting problem to me that dems aren't in lockstep with and fully tied to no kings, possibly the biggest social movement in american history
