More from the important research by @lachlanmcnamee.bsky.social @salmamousa.bsky.social & @kylepeyton.bsky.social:

The backlash to CRT and DEI was concentrated among educated & professional class centrists & Republicans. Working class, who Yglesias says backlashed, didn't actually care
Since there seems to be a flurry of Yglesias discourse on here today, here is my take. He recently joined the moral panic over teaching about race--on the side of the racists. And he gets critical race theory wrong because he superficially engages with it.
A Tent Big Enough for Bigots but Too Small for Critical Race Theory
Like so many of critical race theory's detractors, Matthew Yglesias fails to engage with the actual scholarship.

I see no path forward between what people are saying they want and the Democratic party as currently constituted. No path.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

Watching Ta-Nehisi Coates’s convo with Ezra Klein. Confirms why neoliberalism is to blame for the the destruction of the Democratic Party. He obfuscates with rhetorical devices and avoids any real, substantive arguments. Zero moral clarity. Please stop taking him seriously. youtu.be/UaeoDlLNnok?...
