The details are gross both aesthetically and morally, but Nuzzi played a consequential role in the ending of a sitting presidentâs re-election bid. Even if you donât include her role in RFK then getting DHHS, that alone is worth discussing

To applause and tears, Joe Biden today urged LGBTQ+ people to âget up and fight backâ against Trumpâs efforts to demonize this community. âThis is no time to give up. Get up!" "Thereâs nothing more American than the notion of equality. Nothing, nothing, nothing."

More than anything else classism is that if you lose your company half a million you get fired, but if Zuck loses Meta 77 billion he gets paid $28 million. Meritocracy doesn't fail due to DEI, if fails becaues we can't ever let a rich nimrod suffer consequences for any level of screwup.

Exactly. The new U.S. National Security Strategy is much worse for Europe than most people had imagined. Europe is described as a bigger threat than both China and Russia, and they outline the need for regime change in Western European countries as part of a civilizational struggle.

"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.

Straight cis white men can write about "the plight of young white men". Wealthy fuckers can write about "quiet quitting" (doing what you're paid to do) and "device hoarding" (because poor) But if you write about the systemic discrimination you experience, you are "an activist" and can't be trusted.

EU has fined X $140m for breaking European laws and refusing to address that when warned. Likely Musk won't pay and the Trump regime will pressure EU, but if so, they should stand strong and ban the website. And oh the irony that this won't cover the UK, where Musk is stoking division and violence.

Trump's hateful rant and violently repressive action targeting Somali-Americans, ending free national park admissions on MLK day and Juneteenth, and an NSS calling for Europe to be whiterâall this week. No doubt it's extremely racist. The only question is whether Americans think that's good or bad.

The only reason this administration cares about the âthreat of censorshipâcoming from Europe is because tech is literally paying them to take up this fight so they can avoid fines like this. This is about free speech the way poll taxes are about raising state budgets.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

It's wild that in the richest country in the world, every winter, we have to scramble to make sure people don't freeze to death when they sleep outside. And still, we know many will die. Instead, we could solve homelessness with housing and support. Boggles my mind every year.

Agree with this thread. Worth reading in full. 25 years ago John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and AC Barrett all worked on GWBush's 2000 Florida recount team. What they're doing now is, if anything, more nakedly partisan. Fire-breathing dissent by Kagan, with Sotomayor and Jackson.

That's the part that sticks with me. This isn't some Tom Clancy novel where they do war crimes because it's the only way they can get at the evil terrorist criminal mastermind or something. Even if we believe them -- and, ha ha, no! -- they murdered low level drug runners. That's it!

It's goodâvery good, and very importantâthat district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.
