I take the bold stance that misogyny is extremely bad even when it’s applied to white cis straight women with federal jobs who kinda remind you of your mom.

The MAGAs are really, really blatantly firing a ton of women in the federal government and military for the crime of being women, and it is embarrassing when people ignore or downplay this.

the point of using violence to contest control is to diminish the opposition's will to continue to commit violence, and then to demonstrate that it lacks that will. where you suspect that the opposition begins without the will for that contest, creating it by shooting first is a bad play.

Who could have guessed that the former leader of the Proud Boys—convicted of sedition because of January 6th—would, after Trump pardoned him, start to harass the hero cops of January 6th? Who could ever have guessed it? (This went down at the Principles First conference in D.C.)

Hitler was a laughing stock in the 1920s. His time in jail didn't make him a folk here except among a fringe of disaffected veterans. The Nazis were still nowhere in 1928, then the Great Depression, the German economy is wrecked, and by 1932, Nazis are the biggest party in democratic Germany.

I’ve noticed how often even well-meaning cis white men just totally miss that the Musk/Trump regime are obviously driven by overt and hideous misogyny, in addition to overt and hideous racism.

I know we feel despondent today, but Donald Trump has single-handedly eviscerated almost every argument for Republican government for over half a century. They hold onto him like a savior because it's not clear what else they have when he's gone.

The most important thing I learned at Harvard: Human beings are all of roughly equal intelligence. My Harvard students were not inherently smarter than my hoodlum high school buddies. Inherent superiority is a capitalist myth to justify unequal possession of wealth.

The single greatest "error" of the Constitution is that its whole system of checks & balances was written before the age of modern political parties, which immediately supervened and rendered the whole system unworkable in many respects. Constitution worship is just weird. It's a flawed document.

The future is unknown, uncertain, perhaps frightening. But no matter what darkness may lurk before us, there will be glories along the way. Acts of bravery, acts of kindness, honorable deeds that will be remembered in better times. We will rise together, one day, to sing songs of glorious victory.

FWIW speaking as someone who happily self identifies as liberal and very much not a leftist, I think the effort to blame leftists for 2024 is silly for precisely this reason. There are just vanishingly few committed leftists and their votes didn’t impact the outcome at all

We finally get a Woke Pope who’s standing up against Trump and even defending trans people (which is more than the Labour Party or Keir Starmer is doing) and this happens. Don’t tell me it’s not iffy and the next guy isn’t going to be ultra Conservative.

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

You told NPR on the record you were removing stuff to comply with the executive orders. This is a lie about planned revisions. The site also removed gender identity from legal services provided. Stop gaslighting us. You erased trans people and only responded when called out.

As a professor of the law of government secrecy, I'm astonished at the silence of the national security heads who for 50 years acted as if our lives were in danger every time a single document or bit of data went missing from a federal file. Democrats: Don't rebuild that system. It was a lie.

this is from a new report on a “third way” on DEI and it is unbelievably naive, which in my view is emblematic of the author, rich kahlenberg, whose willingness to extend good faith to obvious bad faith actors borders on gullibility www.progressivepolicy.org/a-way-out-of...
