The Trump-Vance embrace of Daniel Penny isn't just about "law and order" — it's white identity politics. A defense of a racial hierarchy where Penny can kill a Black man on a train and face no consequences. They're reminding us they want to preserve this status quo.

Friendly neighborhood political scientist here to remind you that everything is political, including and sometimes especially science. In fact, claiming your vocation is apolitical is itself a political claim with a political goal.
In the wake of the U.S. election, Natl Academy of Sciences President Marcia McNutt has authored a spot-on editorial in Science, stressing the apolitical nature of science and how it remains vital to informing a lot of public policy. Best read all week!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

fundamentally this is what Trump administrations are all about: the guys. there will be new guys every week. they will startle you, you'll be astounded by them, and then as quickly as they appeared they will fade into an indistinguishable mass, leaves on the forest floor.
Trump choosing a Fox anchor to be Secretary of Defense is my first real "is this a dream?" moment since election day.

Politics is just the way we make society together. Whenever someone says "I am apolitical" I hear "I am not vested in the shared project of making society" and I have to wonder why.

Hey look it's exactly what I said would happen. They needed at least $10bn to survive, looks like $11.5bn. Also, though I was off on the other sources, as predicted they needed to raise via debt too. A revolving line of credit is pretty risky!
