NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.

So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Got yelled at this week for making statements that will supposedly alienate the average white male voter and what I want to emphasize is this: appealing to the average white male voter is not my aim and not my job.

“It is an indisputable fact that she was born inside the United States .. we have her birth certificate. That should be enough. She never should have been picked up in the first place. I am asking if anyone in the media is willing to cover this story.”
This is so fucked up

Just think how much better off everyone would be if all the money we spent on wars, tax breaks for the wealthy and corporate welfare was instead spent on improving the lives of the American people

Yet our politicians would rather do anything but make your life better

Once you see it it becomes impossible not to notice the media consent-manufacutring machine that responds to literally every social crisis with the diagnosis that "women too free."
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

You want to talk to me about how estrangement narratives need to reckon with what poverty or racism did to parenting? Great!

You want to talk about your adult children as units of debt? You are doing a very different project.

Really kind of dispiriting to realize how many men in my world see the women and people of color in their lives as thieves and obstacles to their thriving.

years from now, should we make it to the other side of the long emergency with democracy intact, people will discover the industrial- and economic policy of 2021-22 as a hidden gem, like unearthing a preindustrial steam engine or a bureaucratic trick from the Arthur admin. Nothing besides remains.

this is the realest shit ever posted and when you become a parent you spend a lot of time internally screaming about it
People who argue "who cares it's just for kids" all I can say is fuck right off. Kids deserve thoughtful, well-made movies that challenge them just as much as adults do. Kids aren't stupid, and they remember how movies affect them basically forever.

I can’t help but notice that a bunch of people think “actual thinking” means “insipid contrarianism that substitutes banal edgelordery for any meaning or principle.”

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.
