I’ve been thinking about how the white moderate think about free speech. Where calling for violence and the dehumanization of entire groups of people is merely supposed to be pluralism at work rather than an a threat to that pluralism.

Meanwhile, let's keep talking about the organized, systemic violence against girls and young women orchestrated by Epstein and ask what Trump knew and did. While also remembering Trump's sexual assault of E. Jean Carroll. And instigation of political violence, notably on January 6, 2021.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

I knew Daniel in high school. He was good at a lot of things but I bet he's still salty about being bad at high school debate.

Israeli soldiers gunned down Amer Rabee, a 14-year-old Palestinian American boy who was born in New Jersey, last month in the West Bank. His death has spurred anger over soldiers’ use of force and an apparent lack of accountability. nyti.ms/3ZzbQ8Q

Around D.C., the new going rate is well-known: $5 million for a one-on-one dinner with Trump, but gov-affairs execs have “no clue where the money is eventually going,” one said. Another told me it’s “outer-borough Mafia sh*t.” My new piece is out @newyorker.com www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

EXCLUSIVE: In their first broadcast interview since his release from ICE detention, Georgetown scholar Badar Khan Suri and his wife, Mapheze Saleh, spoke to @lbarronlopez.bsky.social about Khan Suri's release after nearly two months in a detention facility in Texas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e4X...

This was always going to be the effect. If you violently limit and reduce what a woman can be to what you think is a settled “biological sex”, then you foreclose the political places where women can gather to make political claims that exceed that limit 1/ www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

starmer cooking up a 'rwanda-plan-lite' is so telling. they've run out of ideas, are floundering, and are abandoning whatever bit of the the center they held. the Great Moving Right Show continues.

i never again want to hear that trump isn't a neoliberal. this is just one of many his moves to discipline labor - nothing else.

not that this has to be said, but of course the Zionists from my hometown have been silent about Mahmoud Khalil. no "first they came for the socialists" posts 🤔

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

The Trump administration is: *breaking the law by not spending appropriated money from Congress *breaking the law by ignoring a court order *lying about it *killing people *silencing public employees who are pointing all of this out

certain respectable, centrist pundits have said or implied that i'm basically hysterical about the idea that the trump administration is segregationist but then we get stories like this one. huh, wonder what ideological perspective might explain this decision.

engage me in a flame war! anilysis.substack.com/p/are-you-fr...

it’s because what they imagined to be a class first interest in material politics was just a masculinist, blue collar white identity politics. and their emotional attachment to that identity politics curdled into resentment of people who didn’t perform it

When Stanford IT staff and a pro-diversity group shared a list of words they encouraged others not to use, it was national news, despite the fact it never represented campus policy. When the government erases any mention, data or research related to words, will it be treated as a free speech issue?

The Israeli police raided a pair of Palestinian bookstores in East Jerusalem and arrested two of their owners, saying the shops were selling books that supported terrorism. The move comes as Israel tightens its restrictions on free speech and cultural activities for Palestinians across the country.

BREAKING: Israel will face diplomatic and economic sanctions from a league of countries Nine nations have unveiled a raft of measures to punish the country for its conduct in Palestine

The Israeli military forced patients and staff members to leave one of the last functioning hospitals in northern Gaza on Friday, and officials in the Gaza health ministry said they had lost contact with its medical staff there.

California's minimum-wage hike for fast-food workers has been a clear success, Rogé Karma writes, and yet it has been portrayed as a failure. That is a testament to how quickly economic misinformation spreads—and how hard it is to combat once it does:

The White House gave Israel the coordinates of an American family in Gaza, ostensibly to protect them. Israel used those coordinates to bomb them. theintercept.com/2024/12/06/i...

the right will accuse anyone who cares about any cause at all of virtue signaling, so we should diagnose it correctly when it actually happens: blithe non-statements ("murder is bad") used to convey to elite peers that you can overlook systemic violence as needed ("additional comment not necessary")

removing headlines from news articles is the funniest thing elon has done so far. crafting an experience where the user is perpetually scrolling through 25 consecutive uncontextualized pictures of donald trump and timothee chalamet and then reading something vaguely antisemitic
