I’ve had to spend my entire adult life dealing with people shitting on both critical/cultural theory and radical left politics as being “out of touch” or “unrealistic.” Meanwhile, our society is run by fantasy-based grifter technofascists and purely vibes-based economists. Incredible stuff.
Hassett: "The basic theory of President Trump's tariffs is sure, we're importing stuff from China, but we've got producers in US who make stuff, maybe at alightly higher place. If we bring stuff home, create demand, then that will hurt China & drive up wages & American consumers will be better off."

This was how the Jim Crow South functioned in larger American society.
Southern leaders helped the FBI target and destroy the Klan, and the national conversation on racism revolved around "inbred rednecks" and not the governors and lawyers in suits who mainted segregation.

it is obviously true that there's bigotry of various kinds among the unwashed masses but, despite what the decorum demands of class apparently have some of y'all believing, this is very obviously a feature that the rulers and the ruled have in common

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files
What strikes me is that 'the volk' have incredibly incoherent and everywhere ideas, but the people who claim to speak for them in the press are like clerics who think there are two poles for all politics and everything must fit between them. These poles are like, eight inches apart

At the same Texas concentration camp:

Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

Mr. Sim lived in the US for 43 years. He was ordered deported 20 years ago after a larceny conviction. Because Cambodia wasn’t accepting deportations, he was allowed to stay on an order of supervision.
After 20 years, he was suddenly arrested at an ICE check-in and sent to detention, where he died.

There is no statute of limitations on deportations. There are people ordered deported 20, 30, even 40 years ago, who’ve been living here on forbearance ever since; people checking in with ICE since before it existed.
The Trump admin is now rounding up and detaining many of them.
