the reason that it's so disturbing when Newsom/Buttigieg/Harris say that they want to force trans ppl out of sports is that it signals that they don't want to fight for trans rights at a time when there is a massive genocidal campaign against trans people. 1

but Newsom? buttigieg? harris? they talk about defending trans ppl only reluctantly; they seem much more interested in trying to figure out ways to pass anti trans policies themselves.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but Noah Smith now apparently thinks South Asians (like the Ugandan-Indian Zohran Mamdani) are using anti-Zionism as an inter-diaspora social bludgeon in order to move up the American cultural strata.

On Monday, the University of Alabama suspended two student-run magazines over fears stemming from a July DOJ memo. The student journalists I spoke with yesterday told me that the decision was nonsensical and threatened their First Amendment rights.

The U.S. will become more fascist if we don't dismantle the controlled opposition party. You cannot oppose fascism if the space in which you can do it legally is occupied by a party that doesn't want to oppose it. Then your only hope is the Luigi Mangiones, but the U.S. doesn't have enough of those
hey so even if you do sweep Dems into power again all those people who are openly calling for your murder will still exist so what is your plan because last time Dems were in office they didn’t do anything about it and now we’re here and my god we can’t keep doing this why do you refuse the lesson

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

We can never just admit that conservative ideas are bad. We have to excuse their badness as a reaction to something liberals said or did. When that fails, we have to act like they are somehow a betrayal of other, better conservative ideas instead of just their natural endpoint.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

Her dad was taken by immigration agents. Now a 12-year-old girl fears she’s lost her only living parent.
The separation illustrates a tragic consequence of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown: children left behind after a parent is detained or deported.
