"Other social democrats should learn the right lessons this time. Opportunistic and often half-hearted anti-immigrant policies will not win over far-right voters. Moreover, their nativist turn will push away progressive voters, particularly younger ones, who want a party that is... leftwing".
It ought to be blindingly obvious by now, but when social democratic parties adopt rw policies they don't beat the right, they strengthen them. This failure has been going n in Europe for decades, hence the rise of the right.

The Guardian fails to report how, under Starmer’s Labour, trans people’s human rights have descended to the level of Russia.
It has an article about a minor marital row about a book club though.

These symbols are violent threats. If a student came to a class with a noose, or left one in my office, we'd be on a lockdown. But Coast Guard officers are supposed to be cool with "colleagues" using these objects to torment them. This is clearly part of the resegregation campaign.

"Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi insignia as 'potentially divisive' under its new guidelines.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

In essence, about half the student body has to manage the prospect that approaching the professor for help, professional advice, guidance, or feedback is going to go sideways.

I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again!

Why Is Larry Summers Still Employed?
The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.
