I don’t think you’ll get a more “on the nose” example of blowback than a guy from Afghanistan who America trained to go around executing civilians in something called a “zero squad” who later moves to America and attacks the American government. Like holy shit what the fuck are we doing here?

Living in gratitude is more important than ever these days. I try to treasure and embrace each and every day that a Government official doesn’t announce “release the robot dogs.”

Reading Olivia Nuzzis writing has really helped with this: it’s made me feel so lucky and confident

A blockbuster investigation by the AP, out today. So much in it, give it a read, but starts with: "The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious."

musk's daughter is incredible

One of the most evil things that Elon Musk has done is reacting to his trans daughter not by supporting her but by berating her and then publicly declaring her dead

Needs to be a complete boycott of Tesla. Drive the share price to zero. Elon Musk is extremely vulnerable here. He depends on Democrats to buy his cars. (Republicans don't want EVs.) If they stop buying, the price plummets, and he will be ousted as CEO. This is his weak spot.

I don't know if anyone is still under the misconception that Elon Musk is intelligent but here I have explained why he is completely wrong to describe Social Security as a "Ponzi scheme" www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-soc...

"Gluey" continues to be among the worst Democrats in Congress www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-is-...

The opinions of Matt Yglesias have been even more irritating than usual lately, so I have written a careful explanation of what makes his work so consistently wrong. His ignorant, callous, smug commentary should be permanently ignored. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-opi...

Had a strong suspicion watching that video that it wouldn't hold up. Very funny that a lefty magazine editor had to do the legwork that 1,000 Beltway reporters apparently couldn't.

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a centrist Democrat who pushes conservative narratives on regulation, says that her state makes it illegal to peel bananas in a daycare. But when I asked, her office could not provide me with evidence that such a regulation exists. www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-is-...

I love the song "Hopeless Romantic" by Danny Bradley which is written from the perspective of a Jordan Peterson fan wondering why women seem repulsed by him soundcloud.com/user-9053460...

Dr. Oz ought to have been stripped of his medical license long ago, as my colleague Lily showed here: www.currentaffairs.org/news/2023/05...

Current Affairs editors talk to Nathan J. Robinson about his new book, co-written with Noam Chomsky, detailing how US foreign policy endangers the world. www.currentaffairs.org/news/reading...

The public schools in the United States today are an ethical embarrassment and a betrayal of democracy, says Jonathan Kozol. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-sca...

very cool to see an establishment journal like Foreign Policy review our new book with the title "Noam Chomsky Has Been Proved Right" foreignpolicy.com/2024/11/15/c...

To those looking for a silver lining: Trump's first term showed that horrible Republican policies are inevitably unpopular and generate popular backlash. As Trump's presidency becomes a chaotic failure we must seize the opportunity to build the alternative www.currentaffairs.org/news/heres-t...
