I could have imagined a lot of things in American politics but not a normalization of Nazi salutes and such tentativeness by the media to call them what they are. They are Nazi salutes. It’s not owning the libs. It’s not joking. It’s fascism. If you give a Nazi salute, you’re a fascist. Just say it.

HEADLINES 🚨 People see headlines. In the digital ecosystem it is often all we see. So headlines need to be on point. They cannot normalize or deflate unlawful extremities. Call it out. Here speaks a strong supporter of journalism. But also someone who worries deeply about current headlines.

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

If global policy makers can learn anything from the last eight years, it's that making concessions to Trump nets you zero security -- even if your concessions are total, abject, humiliating capitulation

Looking forward to reading this! I threw the phrase “strategic ambiguity” around a lot in 2020, 2021 without having a very clear sense of what I meant. Hope this can help fix that!

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

it's absolutely wild to shitpost about yourself being a king of a country whose entire foundational story of itself is centered on overthrowing the last person who deigned to call himself king on these shores

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

This is like saying parents saved money by not feeding their kids as much and skipping doctors’ appointments. People were actually using the services he’s killed off, among them veterans.

If you're rage-posting something, at least tell me it's from a crank right-wing columnist so I don't hate click on an author I refuse to hate click.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

Are there any people here working on the Israeli settler movement? I remain amazed by how little academic research there is on this movement, possibly one of the most successful and enduring social movements in history - particularly from social scientists.

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.

People in tech talk about the idea of a “10x programmer” — someone whose work is worth that of 10 others. I get the impression Musk etc think they can apply it all over the federal workforce but like… there’s no such thing as a 10x ATC navigational aid maintenance worker. Some jobs just need people.

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.
