Deflating -- but clarifying -- to see even mainstream libertarians like Cowen embrace bigoted buffoons like Rufo and Hanania. Cowen has long positioned himself as a champion of immigrants. Publicly praising Rufo after the Springfield debacle is a choice.

the only reason Khanna go so many views on his tweet is because it was quote-tweeted approvingly by Elon Musk. it doesn't reflect some sort of grassroots uprising for draconian budget cuts and he almost certainly knows this.

Libraries around my state have been hit with bomb threats, and yet somehow neither our largest newspaper nor our substantial public radio service have seen fit to cover it. I wonder why. Protect libraries. Sending love and solidarity to my beloved librarians.

Confession: I have been remembering when I had a leather bomber jacket in about 1989-1990 and how warm and comfy it was and how I thought I looked cool in it and I was kind of thinking I should get one now and I’d look cool and Elon Musk has single-handedly exterminated that idea from my soul

To the Federalist Society, you can advocate for journalists to be “denaturalized” and jailed and deported, but if you suggest that’s bigoted, you hate free speech.

Every Democratic defeat is immediately, definitively explained by asserting that every policy position to the left of Bob Dole is unpopular and no Republican defeat is ever followed with even the timid suggestion that maybe their worldview just isn't very popular.

As @jenniferberkshire.bsky.social and I argue in our new piece in @thenation.com, right-wing leaders are pushing to fracture the curriculum into a thousand customized options. Their core aim isn't to force-feed conservative propaganda. Instead, it is to undermine the very idea of the common good.

As a historian, I cannot help pointing out that, once upon a time, in 2008 to be precise, it was possible for Vanity Fair to publish a lengthy exposé on US government involvement in the horrible mess that brought Hamas to power in Gaza. archive.vanityfair.com/article/2008...

NEWS The US and European governments have been putting pressure on Israel to delay its ground invasion of Gaza to buy time for secret talks underway via Qatar to win the release of hostages held by Hamas. After initially resisting a delay, Israel agreed under US pressure to hold off.
