The Trump administration has already sentenced tens of thousands of #Africans to death by cutting the #PEPFAR program. But the mainstream U.S. media is largely ignoring the crisis. My article @newrepublic.com. @gregggonsalves.bsky.social @timlongman.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1947...

I always tell this to my research assistants: if you use AI to summarize and write for you, you don't need to be my assistant. You don't need to do research at all. Research should be selfish: you (not a machine) learn how to read, write, innovate, and dream. Otherwise, what is the point?

I do think it’s a tough time for young men, but not for the reasons people think. It’s a tough time because masculinity influencers try to bully young men into thinking that there is only one way be in the world. And then when they buy into it, they have a very hard time functioning in reality.

35% of survey respondents being cool with sending people with criminal convictions to foreign jails shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's been paying a tiny bit of attention to how criminalized folks are dehumanized every day in this country. All these fascist birds coming home to roost.

Prices didn't go up immediately because retailers were burning through the inventory they had before tariffs hit, hoping that the issue would be resolved. Now, that inventory is gone, and now products will come in two categories: 1) far more expensive, and 2) no longer available

Young people SHOULD “have it easier” than you did. I’m sorry you got the strap up hill both ways and paid your debts with pounds of flesh, but the reason we work for progress is to make growing up and growing old gentler, easier, kinder, freer. Struggle isn’t necessary in a healthy society.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.
