Read my new piece with @jasonhackworth.bsky.social in the #JournalofBlackStudies. We have some thoughts about this…and it’s open access!
"What does a narrative of support for racial capitalism look like in contemporary political economies, where racism denial is pervasive in political discourse, and trust in authorities are at an all-time low?"

The thing with Trump saying crazy bullshit is that I’m sure some media people are thinking “if only the Republicans could get back to their serious core issues” and it’s like what are those? Buzz Lightyear woke? Bud Light? Gay M&M’s? Trickle down economics? Being scared of 19 year olds on campuses?

When you build a career as a market fundamentalist libertarian, the step towards “let’s work with the fascists” often turns out to be a small one.

At the core of GOP conservatism since the 1930s has been the desire to roll back the New Deal. For all its putative “populism,” Trumpism is, on balance, more a part of this tradition than a diversion from it.
The Trump crowd wants to kill FDIC, install tariffs *and* bring back polio?
I guess all this time the magical past of American Greatness they’ve been aiming for has been the banner year of 1930.
Can’t wait for the soup lines! Wheee!

Bingo. If I remember correctly, Ben Shapiro was only able to launch the Daily Wire because he got $15 million in start up funds from the Wilks brothers. There's just no one dumping that kind of money into people on the left.

How do we have 800 of these articles and none contend with the fundamental issue which is rich liberals don’t want to fund left media, they want to fund liberal media which is bloodless and partisan, by definition. GOP courts its extremes, liberals discipline theirs.

Democrats were badly outflanked online in the election, and progressive influencers are now trying to create networks to be a left-wing answer to Turning Point USA.

This obsession is unhealthy. Our horizons are fine. Also social media, for most, is not a job. It is not school. It is socializing. And it’s fine to say “I don’t want to hang out with Nazis, homophobes, transphobes etc in my free time.”
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

The ICC charged Netanyahu and Gallant with criminal responsibility for withholding humanitarian aid and deliberately starving a civilian population.
Meanwhile, Biden & Blinken claimed no such thing was happening. It is unreasonable to single out Netanyahu. Biden & Blinken should be charged as well
