I'm entirely serious about this: until you internalize the view that urban America is Real America, you won't see the urgency of structural reform of an American government whose fundamental structures so disadvantage its population centers—the great engines of its prosperity, progress, & culture.

Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not

There are only 45 million foreign-born people living in the United States right now, about half of whom are naturalized citizens. So this ridiculous edge-lord post by taxpayer-funded trolls is suggesting deporting 55 million native-born citizens.

This is my last big piece of the year. I wrote it as much for myself as anybody else, because there's so many EOs, court cases, temporary successes, and reversals. I wanted a place to put it all, something to come back to in future years, to keep the knowledge of what 2025 meant to trans rights.

Recall that in July, Trump's justification for banning Epstein from Mar-a-Lago was that he "stole" his spa employees. Now WSJ reports that MAL staff knew Epstein was exposing himself on the house calls they set up, which sounds like sex trafficking

Yeah, Chomsky saw anarchism not as a rigid blueprint but as a moral horizon grounded in history of democratic worker self-management, while accepting limited state action. But like most rationalists, he avoided the “how” questions. I grew tired of that.

A thing to watch: In my reporting this year, ICE/DHS’s enhanced presence in cities was clearly spurring significant organizing among many liberals — and some not-so-liberals. The Trump admin may not care, but curious to see if *further* ramping up that effort will backfire come, say, the midterms.

You know, there are so many of these stories, and I think it's mostly because journalists largely see politics as a team sports game or a way to social climb and don't understand people who see it as a reflection of their values.

WSJ: Trump banned Epstein in 2003 which "came three years after Maxwell recruited another employee, Virginia Giuffre, who was 16 years old when she left the spa to work for Epstein." But in July Trump said he banned Epstein bc of Virginia not this other employee.

Problem w attributing blame RE Trump is you can’t say “people didn’t vote for Trump bc he said A, bc he actually said B,” is that on nearly everything Trump says A, B, F, Q, & Z. So the issue is what of the multiple & usually conflicting things Trump says on any subject that you choose to believe./1
