This paradoxically positions centrism (a political ideology) as something not tarnished by the biases and blind spots that may come from having a political ideology — which is arguably an even bigger blind spot than just admitting you have an opinion
Bari Weiss in the CBS staff town hall this morning, per sources:
"CBS News is for the mixed multitudes. We're for the center, we're for the center right, and we're for the center left, and that is the vast majority of the country. That's who we need to reach."

Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested 29 times for his nonviolent acts of civil disobedience, or "direct action" as he called it. He had a 75% disapproval rating by the American public at the beginning of 1968, the year of his murder. 1/

AOC is sharp as hell, endlessly charismatic, tenacious, and speaks like an actual human being. And she has that FDR "they are unanimous in their hate for me - and I welcome their hatred" energy toward the GOP and reactionary centrists. I think she's a bet worth making. She's ready.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

It's the Kennedy Center and always will be. It's a memorial to a fallen president. Period.
It's going to feel amazing to see his name taken off all these things after he leaves office. Like peeling off an old scab. Small comfort in the ocean of abuses we're living through, but I'll take it.

Breaking News: Workers began adding President Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center, despite no action by Congress to legally rename it. This sparked outrage among the Kennedy family, since it was built to be a living memorial to the 35th president.

Rob Reiner was a monumental talent and a passionate progressive activist with a huge heart. His 5-movie directorial run of Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, and a Few Good Men is one of the most impressive accomplishments in movie history. 1/

what follows immediately after the birthright clause? the privileges and immunities and due process clauses? and what follows them? the equal protection clause. all of this is explicitly to say, "the declaration is the constitutional law of the land"

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

dred scott, in their minds, established the united states as a place of tiered citizenship and permanent inequality among americans. it was a ruling that said, in effect, that all men *were not* created equal and would *never* be treated as such.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler
JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

I'm disgusted and saddened by the murder of Charlie Kirk. I don't agree with a single thing he stood for. I'm not going to celebrate his life but I also refuse to dance on his grave. I mourn for every victim of gun violence, no matter how shitty their beliefs. So sick of the bloodsheed.
