This is ethnic cleansing. 40,000 Palestinians have been "evacuated" from Jenin, Tul Karm and Nur al-Shams, and will not be allowed to return. And this is in the West Bank, not Gaza, so there is not even a facial defense that this is about the war against Hamas.

I probably would have been writing a ton about Project 2025 in 2024 if it were not for the genocide. I'm sure that's true about a ton of the best policy researchers out there. The impact of Democratic Party-backed genocide comes through in a thousand different ways that are largely not measurable

It is time for some of you to learn who I truly am. I'm not just a nerdy payments system, economic policy expert and legal researcher. I'm also the grandchild of Jewish Anti-Zionists who tattooed this on my body December 30th 2023. Accept that you don't get one without the other or get lost.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

Between this and Vanderbilt it sure looks like the crusade against higher education is going to hobble research for decades to come. American higher education is a global achievement, one of our greatest engines of innovation and prosperity. And it’s being ripped down by vandals.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

The unconstitutional freeze of over $2B in federal funds for Pennsylvania’s clean energy projects doesn’t just undermine state-led climate initiatives—it halts essential programs that protect clean air and support low-income communities. State leaders can and must fight back.

NEW PIECE: On the shorter side for my recent writings, I take a chance to step back and return to the big picture. Why should we care if the Trump administration, and Musk's DOGE, are acting unconstitutionally? The answer is not as simple as it might seem. www.crisesnotes.com/why-should-w...

Double-plus-ungood. It’s not just the particular terms or even the self-censorship by federal employees that’s scary. It’s the cultivation of an atmosphere in which language itself is a threat, your own tongue may be your enemy.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

This article relies entirely on data from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The ADL is biased. Their data cannot be trusted. For example, the ADL's 2023 report does not include the fatal stabbing of a 6-year-old Palestinian boy Wadea Al-Fayoume, an attack motivated by anti-Palestinian hatred.

recent national political discourse pretty conclusively shows how U.S. crime and punishment politics are really a question of which people with which racial positions are allowed to do as they like. liberal pundits should have learned this when the "felon" label failed to do any work for them

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.
