The only real account on here for Tim Wise (well, at least the one who's an anti-racism educator, author, critical race theorist, and Senior Fellow at the African American Policy Forum).
Pinned
Four of my books were banned at the Naval Academy but Mein Kampf and the Bell Curve are still there.

So just to review: racism is ok. Antiracism is not.

This is the entire history of America.

Conservative media are promoting a GiveSendGo fundraiser for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good. The page includes the following statement from the organizer: "But this didn't happen in a vacuum—it's the direct result of anti-American traitors like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (who is Jewish)"

Renee Good's last words were "I'm not mad at you" to the guy who shot her. Yet MAGA calls her a "radical lunatic." Meanwhile, here is the person they hail as a martyr and patriot. This unhinged freak.

Progressives who mock Stephen Miller bc he "apparently doesn't know" Dean Martin & Sinatra were children of immigrants are embarrassing. He knows. He doesn't care. He's not anti-immigrant, y'all. He's a white supremacist. Italians are fine bc they're European. He hates black & brown people. Period.

Oh wait so ya mean it wasn’t bc of DEI? Hmmm imagine that

These lawyers kicked ass and their boss won’t even celebrate them bc it messes with her narrative (i.e., Antifa is the problem). No witch, Fa is the problem

They knew the optics of dismissing were bad and thankfully the amazing and dedicated DOJ lawyers on the case were steadfast. Bondi couldn’t care less about white racist terrorists
December 18, 2025 at 4:03 AM
They only prosecuted it bc the indictments were secured under Biden. If it had been up to Papadummy Patel’s FBI they would never have caught Terrorgram at all.
December 18, 2025 at 4:03 AM
The DOJ today secured a 30 yr sentence against one of the leaders of the neo-Nazi Terrorgram collective. They plotted murder and bombings (I was one of their targets). You’d think they’d be proud. But no. Because racist violence from the right doesn’t matter to them.
December 18, 2025 at 4:03 AM
Imagine Pam Bondi’s DOJ just secured a 30 yr sentence against a Muslim or left wing terrorist. Do ya think they’d be shouting it from the rooftops? So why aren’t they doing that today after securing that sentence against a Neo-Nazi terrorist leader? You know why. We all do.

It’s unfair to analogize Trump supporters to supporters of Jim Jones. At least Jones’s followers knew when it was Kool-Aid time. Not advocating it. Just noting the substantial difference in commitment to one’s cause

Irony: if Charlie Kirk had been speaking in Chicago, L.A., etc., they'd have swept the rooftops and had tighter security. But Utah? Nah...So, the myth of white innocence, which he believed in, got him killed. Fascinating. My latest piece explores this, below...

The Myth of White Innocence Got Charlie Kirk Killed
If he’d been speaking in Chicago, Los Angeles, or anywhere with lots of people of color, they’d have checked the rooftops

And finally a piece in which I don't mention Kirk at all, but address one of those issues he was particularly obsessed with and hateful about...trans athletes

There’s a Revealing Flaw in the Attack on Trans Athletes
And what the transphobes don’t talk about gives the game away

And another one, offering a theory of the motive behind the killing of Charlie Kirk, which holds that it was only marginally political, and really based more on intense and almost entirely personal passions, disconnected from any larger political project.

There’s a Simpler Explanation Than Politics for the Killing of Charlie Kirk
Although everyone wants to blame the other side, the real reason may be more personal and frankly even more tragic than that

Here's a piece responding to one of Kirk's many absurd positions: that testosterone is linked to voting behavior

Charlie Kirk’s Views on Masculinity and Politics Were Amazingly Ignorant
And despite his death, those ideas live on, and deserve to be utterly repudiated

Next is, I think, an important piece about the silos people are in, which keep millions of people from knowing what most of us on the left know about Kirk, and why humility about other people's knowledge base is important.

Next is my piece replying to the notion that Kirk was some kind of Socratic intellect whose penchant for debate was genuine, or that debate itself is a positive way to de-escalate political tension. It's not, but I offer an alternative...

Charlie Kirk’s “Debate Me, Bro” Act Wasn’t Politics “the Right Way”
Debate isn’t the answer to political violence. But there might be another, better option.

Then, my piece responding to calls for "toning down the rhetoric" in the wake of Kirk's murder...

Calls for “Toning Down the Rhetoric” are Incredibly One-Sided

Next, the first piece I wrote after Charlie Kirk's killing. More to follow, in which I respond to his awfulness directly. But the day it happened, I felt it necessary to say this for both moral and practical reasons.

medium.com/@timjwise/no...
No, Charlie Kirk’s Ideas Don’t Make It OK to Cheer His Murder
Murder is wrong. Period. And it’s not OK to advocate it, celebrate it, or shrug it off with FAFO memes

Then here's my piece rebutting a common right-wing talking point, which they use to downplay the extent of racial inequity in earnings and employment...

Education Doesn’t Close Racial Employment or Earnings Gaps

Been neglecting to post here lately. But I'm now going to post the essays I've written in the past month in the order I wrote them. Beginning w/this one on how the Labor Department has consistently minimized the extent of racial disparity in unemployment

When will we learn that toppling other governments almost always makes things worse? Indeed, had we not overthrown the Iranian government in 1953 and installed a vicious dictator, we never would have ended up with the Mullahs we now insist we must topple. Pay attention.
