“we failed a veteran” is the ultimate story here and if I were a soldier currently being asked to do war crimes on Trump’s behalf I would consider this instructive

I don’t really have a lot to say about the OU thing except 1) it’s obviously about the trans instructor and 2) red state publics are all so, so vulnerable to this

To liberals who understand the stakes but feel at sea when it comes to solutions: The Reconstruction Papers will provide solutions. It will lay out a vision to rebuild for our era rather than repairing relics of the past. Let go of your grief for a flawed liberal past, embrace the liberal future.

this is just rank cowardice, the student very obviously disregarded the instructions and the assignment to antagonize her peers and instructors and provoke this exact reaction, society simply can’t function when the people in charge scurry like kicked dogs every time some troll bully says boo

Good to know that being religious means you don't have to be subjected to the indignity of having your paper graded on its merits according to the rubric.

The advent of highly realistic AI images and video that can be generated pretty much on the fly is quite worrying. Feels like the negatives outweigh the positives on that one by about a million to one.

I'd like to reiterate that Liberal Currents is a fantastic publication that does amazing work. I absolutely believe this is a worthy cause to donate to if you have cash to spare; a world where Liberal Currents has the reach of The Atlantic would be a better world.
We’ve received almost $90,000 on GoFundMe. Through direct donations and new patron signups last week, we received close to $39,000. Between the two we’ve reached 26% of our goal. Let’s keep the momentum going and reach 33% by midweek! gofund.me/259eba2d6

Lincoln was re-elected on a party platform saying "That foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development of resources and increase of power to this nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy."
They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.
This is who MAGA is now.

Also, the Nazi winking troll technique that has become completely omnipresent in US government social media. It's out of control. The whole game is to drop as many clues as possible while never quite explicitly endorsing neo-Nazism, so if you accuse them of it they can say you're paranoid.
"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.
Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.

A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.
I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

"Brought up on charges of perjury"? Is Joe Biden under oath?
It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

The crisis isn’t refugees. It’s not that one person committed one tragic crime and killed one other person. The crisis isn’t that America’s 250-year old history of hosting immigrants turned out to be a mistake.
The crisis is that STEPHEN MILLER, a hateful little maggot, controls the government.

Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.

Remember when Minnesota changed their flag, and right-wingers on Twitter immediately spread an insane conspiracy theory that it was changed to resemble the flag of a region of Somalia because it had similar colors?
TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.
REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?
TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.
