Sobering but a reflection of many convos I've had in the last year:
"I used to joke with colleagues that higher education is besieged on two fronts: by fascists on one side and neoliberals on the other. As we look ahead to a second Trump administration, these two threads appear ready to converge."

If Trump were president now, he'd be using the wildfires to extort Gavin Newsom and CA, and everyone on here knows it.
As Nicole Hemmer points out on the pod, he has a history of this, and this impulse is deeply rooted on the right.

This is the party Elon Musk is endorsing and will have a big streamed interview with their leader next week in X.
German AfD politicians met with militant neo-Nazis at a secret event in Switzerland in December. A German investigative reporter infilitrated the event and got photos of the attendees, which included violent neo-Nazi groups Junge Tat and Blood & Honour.

Just as the strong record of the Great Society was eclipsed by Vietnam, Biden’s domestic accomplishments were likewise overshadowed for the left by Gaza.
In general, Biden was more accommodating of the left than any Dem president in my lifetime and, to a first approximation, it got him *nothing*. No credit, no support, not even acknowledgement.
