Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

This is so stupid. Denmark is not the enemy for god’s sake.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

America, you've spoken loud and clear: you do not like being stabbed in the dick with an ice pick. But what if stabbing yourself in the dick with an ice pick is the only way to fight, idk, climate change or whatever?

How is it that everyone in TyT seems to inevitably become a reactionary crank?
Bill Maher and Ana Kasparian revere how in the 1960s, you were apparently allowed to hit another person's child. They want to go back to that time.

Harlan‘s celebrated dissent in Plessy explicitly calls out Chinese people as so foreign—“a race so different from our own“—that they should not be permitted citizenship. Dissenting on Plessy is not the get-out-of racism free card these hacks want to pretend it is.
I’m going to repeat this here because Harlan was no saint in Wong Kim Ark and we should be honest.

Even by the standards of The Atlantic, this is an extraordinarily weak evidence base for an article.
Data from a tiny handful of schools that isn't measuring the variable at issue and a few thin, secondhand anecdotes.

Alison was not just a towering figure in her field but a gracious and supportive mentor. She was my senior thesis adviser during her first year at Princeton. I had just read Downtown America and I remember making a point of going to introduce myself to her.
I've been waiting to comment publicly on this until the university made its announcement, but the Department of History at Princeton is devastated by the recent death of our wonderful colleague Alison Isenberg.
Alison Isenberg, distinguished urban historian and co-founder of Princeton-Mellon Initiative in Architecture, Urbanism and the Humanities, dies
A public memorial and celebration of Isenberg’s life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, at the University Chapel.
