people who are new to academia tend to find its obsession with sources and citations a brake on their "i'm just trying to be CREATIVE, man" mindset. but it turns out the relentless obsession with accuracy, citation, and *provenance* is a load-bearing pillar of the whole enterprise

Spectacular thread.
I'll get excited about the "blue tsunami" when liberals stop being candy-asses and start going to war. A thread.

Excellent analysis today from @atrupar.com in PN:
The GOP "has done untold damage to the nation over the past two and a half decades, particularly during its domination by Trump. America would probably be far better off sending it into the dustbin of history."

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Yes, the people on your screen observing on the election should know that there's an alternative model for how to do it. It's called the citizens agenda. I have been writing about it, and advocating for it, since 2010. pressthink.org/2010/08/the-...

Had a delightful night in St. Paul at Grandiloquent, the one-man show by the incomparable @garygulman.bsky.social. This wasn't a mere stand-up act; this was narrative art.
Gulman's riff on 90s grunge and Mookie Blaylock is alone worth the price of admission.

This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

When Jesus said, "Don't be afraid, little flock,” it isn’t as pastoral as it sounds. Instead, it is a clarion call to resist the empire without fear.

It’s a difficult proposition for undergrads to work through, but choosing a major isn’t really about what kind of jobs you want to do so much as what sorts of questions you want to think about or *how* you want to think about questions throughout your life.

Our nation is led by ghouls, who were elected by 70+ million tiny fiends in ugly red hats.
Yeah, take that, you freeloading newborns.
One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects.
It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this.
The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

Legacy media keeps pushing “young man have radicalized” narrative, to fit their equally wrong “the people have become more right-wing narrative.
Real story is “radicalization” of young women… but, like their sisters in previous generations, they only live in shadows (negations) of their male peers.

Related to this: America's current crisis can probably be traced to the utter destruction of the idea that the humanities are higher education's foundation.

This is the crux of it. Leaders *change* public opinion. Trump has *radically* changed public opinion. Democratic consultants who do focus groups aren’t who Democrats should be listening to—they should focus on leading the public and aggressively reshaping views of Trump.
