A peculiar knot of pathos for any psychoanalysis head these days: its wisdom is more validated than even in its golden age, but that wisdom now takes the most dumbass forms imaginable

Breaking my commitment to avoiding anything academic for a few weeks to say that this is very good, and that we’d all be better off if we sat with its recommendations for a bit.

Cuomo already sounds defeated by Trump's authoritarianism. I will stand up for our city of immigrants because I'm not funded by the very same MAGA billionaires who put Trump back in the White House.

So what I think, generally, about the calls to activate President Obama: A lot of people are still mourning the collapse of the Obama public administration coalition. It should have built careers, new power alliances, etc. But, well, a lot happened. Not least of which - he wasn’t interested.

they’re having this hard a time with a small handful of raids they didn’t publicize beforehand if they want to roll in here in force they’re quickly going to find they don’t have enough of it, and the worse this gets the more of the city they’ll activate

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

A much-needed contextualization of the awkward, self-destructive peevishness of party leadership who know what their constituents actually want, but would rather become cut-rate reactionary toadies than Social Democrats.
