If the United States wanted him out of that prison, he would already be home, with or without El Salvadorian assistance.

This. Autistic people have correctly been made a integral, regular part of our everyday life, as they should be.

This is what masculinity looks like. How absolutely lovely - and the trumpet player at the end is perfect.

Not a traditional khao soi - I used a mix from the Asian market and Costco rotisserie chicken - but it came out tasty nonetheless.

also, just...every single person who attempts to compromise with trump or find common ground or work with him ends up horrifically humiliated. every single one. if you give him any ground, he will crush you. this is not new, or complicated.

The reason I get really pissy at damsels in distress like Liz Bruenig whitewashing eugenics is because I am in Colorado, the flipside of Texas. The Texas women who don't want to die from ectopic pregnancies & septic miscarriage seek care here, from doctors I know. Zero patience for this nonsense.

The oldest man in Georgia never bought stocks. “I can’t afford to lose it, because I can’t make no more.” Asked whether he had any other general life advice, he listed, in no particular order, good sex, fresh vegetables, the occasional Coors Light, & water aerobics www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Bill Maher hates women too so of course he found Trump amenable in private. Hitler was a vegetarian who liked dogs.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

While we're all correctly dumping on Liz Bruenig's pro-eugenicist piece, a simple fact she refuses to acknowledge: the same people who want women to have more babies are just fine with them dying in the process. This shit is not about life or babies. It is about power, pure and simple.

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

Liz's piece was not good, especially since the dateline and the creepy pro-natalism conference were from Texas, a state where if you're a woman getting pregnant can kill you.

Social media is funny because someone will be like “Had to delete my post supporting eugenics because people got weird about it”

trump is launching an unprecedented attack on worker's rights and wants to gut social security and medicare, but the Atlantic's daring socialist writer Elizabeth Bruenig is laser focused on demanding that the left embrace fascist natalism. 1

I think women should do whatever they want, the pro-natalism movement is creepy as hell, and it's no one else's business/agenda why you choose to have children or not. Liberals are not obliged to help eugenicists.

RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

This is a very good point that I haven't seen made yet. It's not just Trump that is undermining trust in the US. It is also the inability of US institutions to stop him. And even if you make that "inability to stop him so far," it's already too far to maintain trust.

Read this on the plane back and forth to DC. Hampton Sides is one of my favorite authors - if you haven't read "Blood and Thunder" about Kit Carson, run don't walk.
