Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.

The fact that queer kids are never indoctrinated into straightness from reading about countless hetero relationships, but the mere whisper of the word gay instantly grooms straight kids for homosexual lifestyles really just goes to show how fabulous it is being queer.

This is bad for the Chinese nationals who are here, and it's going to cause more harm to ALL people here with East Asian roots, who will be subject to more xenophobic harassment. And that is bad for ALL of us.

The idea that the Culture War can be resolved is on its face absurd; the Culture War is entirely made up to be exploited by the GOP, it is not real, organic, natural, or popular. The only response is to reject its premises and cut off its tendrils

Among many, many other things ... it's remarkable how little confidence today's GOP has in the attractiveness of American life. There was a time when it was thought that showing people from Communist countries how Americans live would make them friendlier to the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

Trump says he’s “looking at” pardons for the men who plotted to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. One got 16 years for conspiracy and a plan to bomb a bridge. Another got 19 for explosives and militia ties. This isn’t justice reform. It’s a signal. And people should hear it loud.

People have focused on the kook aspects of RFK Jr in a way that obscured his authoritarianism and cruelty. But he’s genuinely an enemy of freedom and basic decency. He’s a narcissist, a eugenicist, and a predator.

It's often presented as a kind of conformity or groupthink to "trust the experts," but you do in fact need to do this to have a functioning society! What is the alternative? Every person researches every single issue of public concern themselves?

This is speculation but I think that some journalists feel a need to backfill credentials into people who are in high positions of power in order to justify why they’re in the position and reaffirm their belief in meritocracy. You see the same thing with “rich people must be geniuses” thought

what i like about this is that politico doesn’t ask whether trump is actually doing the job of president. the frequency with which trump is on tv suggests not!

The difference between "access" and "transparency" is really important. Trump is absolutely giving more reporters more time to ask questions (inc. outlets that just want to praise him). At the same time it's stopped publishing transcripts and WH visitor logs.
