Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.

This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

This is one way incepted bullshit about trans equality is invoked rather than anything real: students can absolutely tell you what a pronoun is, both in grammatical and social usage. It’s out of touch bigots like Emmanuel who either can’t or pretend they can’t to pander to other old bigots.
Emmanuel explicitly says he wants to shift the topic away from trans rights but he does so in the worst possible way.

The solution is to vocally affirm trans rights and immediately ask why Republicans are so laser-focused on the genitals of 13-year-olds. Don't shit on college students instead!

Last night, I wrote: "Gotta make a new sizzle reel, right, CBP?"
"The Border Patrol official said that snipers rappelled down from helicopters on top of the apartment complex, as a precaution from potential violence."

"Snipers rappelled from helicopters"

It's a 5-story apartment building, not a Las Vegas casino!

Gotta make a new sizzle reel, right, CBP?

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

It feels insane to have to cite the scientific-racism guy to find a prominent person stating this basic fact.

Kirk didn't "engage" with others in "discourse" in any meaningful sense, and certainly not in a sense any of us should emulate. His every interaction was in bad faith. He viewed none of his interlocutors as moral equals in an exchange of ideas, but as mere means to advance is propagandistic ends.
The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

Darkly amusing that the president who pardoned Ross Ulbricht also says illicit drugs are such a threat to national security that he can use the military to assassinate suspected drug dealers with no due process.

*ezra klein guy voice* The problem with the left is that they've lost the willingness to speak reasonably with their opponents, such as this guy I interviewed recently who easily conned me into supporting eugenics

Fascism is an aesthetic movement for people with no sense of aesthetics.
My god the kerning on "U.S. Department of War" is itself send-them-to-the-Hague-worthy.

Yeah. It’s happening here.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Advocates for protectionist tariffs do not believe in win/win outcomes. People who don’t believe that win/win outcomes are possible cannot be compromised with. People who cannot compromise should never have political power

This is going to ruin so many cis women's lives. They had to end it in the 2000's because it resulted in women having their lives destroyed, partners leaving them, family disowning them etc. After some high profile suicides and attempts , they had to stop.

People are reporting shit like "Meta is buidling a Superintelligence" straight faced without underscoring that the company has not made a single successful product on its own since Mark made a gazillion dollars on ripping off Hot or Not. Occasionally they'll buy something that works and break it.
