The obsessive wokeness panic is about elite labor market competition and prestige. People use a lot of fancy words to obscure this, and offer some substantive criticisms as well, but that’s ultimately its driving force.

stop pretending you can’t pronounce ‘Zohran Mamdani.’ it’s basically phonetic and if you’d never heard it before and just tried to read it you’d get it-you’re just racist.

signed, a guy with a white name that phonetically should be ‘seen’ that these types of guys never have a problem pronouncing

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

Families "horrified" after daycare teacher pulled out of school by federal agents.

The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the employee, who cares for infants, is legally allowed to work in the United State...

Seeing deranged takes using Jared Golden's retirement to blame progressives or whatever.

Ignore them and read what Golden actually wrote. He is burned out and afraid for his family.

This isn't some intraparty Dem strategy fight, it's a bleak reflection of our society getting worse.

Jared Golden: I won’t seek reelection. Here’s why.

"What I could accomplish in this increasingly unproductive Congress pales in comparison to what I could do in that time as a husband, a father and a son."

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

If these elections had gone the other way — if the Democratic Party had underperformed or even lost one of these contests — then every commentator under the sun would say, rightfully, that Democrats were in disarray; that even the president’s deep unpopularity couldn’t keep them afloat with voters.

But Tuesday was a Democratic victory. And the party didn’t just win — it won by commanding majorities on virtually every field of play. In polls, in focus groups and now at the ballot box, the public is telling us something very clearly: Trump is simply too much. If this is an opportunity for Democrats to win back lost ground — and it is — then it is also a warning to a Republican Party that has tied its entire identity to the man from Mar-a-Lago.

So sorry to hear that. It's so painful to deal with this stuff for routine care (even though I have really good insurance by US standards). I can't imagine the rage evoked dealing with it when the stakes are higher...
