In Florida, “free speech” and “institutional neutrality” mean that a Nazi arguing that nonwhites have no rights wins a prize while a course with “race” in the title is censored for violated the law. Congratulations to all the credulous centrists who helped this along.

There was also a pastor in his vestments at the anti-ICE protest outside Dodger Stadium yesterday. More religious leaders need to show up and call these kidnappings what they are.

These two unstated beliefs that govern modern punditry have completely ruined for the Democratic strategic response: 1. Trump is immune to traditional political gravity 2. Public opinion is the cause, not the effect, of public action, and we must obey it at all costs

honestly this was very predictable if you could a) accurately recall the political consequences of the 2020 protests and b) take public opinion as it actually existed in 2025. impossible difficulty for a non-trivial portion of the professional political commentary class

When people support Andrew Cuomo, what they’re saying implicitly is that they don’t care about the women he’s already sexually harassed and retaliated against and they won’t care if he does it again. It’s a political stance that enables discrimination against women in government

Reporter: What intelligence do you have that Iran is building a weapon? Your intelligence community said they have no evidence that they are at this point. Trump: My intelligence community is wrong. Who said that? Reporter: Your director of national intelligence Gabbard. Trump: She is wrong.

Awful. As @peterbeinart.bsky.social notes, neither @schumer.senate.gov nor @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social have signed on to requiring Trump to get cong authorization for war with Iran. As I argued (see below) there should be a bipartisan coalition here. Where is it? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

And another thing. The framing of the NYC Mayoral race in a way that excludes the one woman (Black woman) running who just happens to be the City Council Speaker and who arguably has the best resume to lead the City is giving me the ick. I was very struck by this moment in last week’s debate.

Day by passing day, we are watching what amounts to a national police riot by ICE. But what worries me is that what we are witnessing is not the actions of an agency that believes it will ever be subject to meaningful oversight or legal authority ever again. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-believ...
