Great piece from Victor that elegantly skewers the fragility of smug liberals like Yglesias who went insane at the thought of “there’s much more to be done to fix racial inequality in our country, a messy, foundation-altering project that cannot be avoided if we want to live up to liberal ideals.”
I wrote about Yglesias “defending liberalism” by joining a right wing moral panic over critical race theory. His vision of liberalism has room for bigots, but no room for scholars concerned about structural racism.
"Yglesias claims to think “rights are good,” but would have us ignore how neutral rules can be used to deny people their rights. Earlier this month, the Trump Department of Justice issued a memo that follows from Yglesias’s reasoning" www.liberalcurrents.com/a-tent-big-e...

NYC: Senators Schumer + Gillibrand both voted "yes" on the federal trans athlete ban, in case you need yet another reason to hope they never have a moment's public peace & want to call and wish them (another) happy "get primaried into to the stone age"
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

When users confronted Clinton he would not submit to mob rule, and explained that AIs have emotions.

he was a joke candidate till he went full racist in that rant and then suddenly he was the frontrunner
It is revisionist history to say anything other than Trump’s coalition was built on old fashioned American racism.
He opened with “They’re not sending their best,” progressed to “shit hole countries,” and now we have pogroms in our cities.
Some may have held their nose, but they did vote for this.

Felt like I needed to show the president's anti-Somali speech because one day people will tell her it never happened, that these words were never said by the American president.
