Sometimes I think “everyone is twelve” is overstated. Then I see the literal health secretary announcing that he will never eat his vegetables and you can’t make him.

The idea that an 5-year-old citizen is somehow harmed by a 5-year-old non-citizen being present within our borders makes my blood boil
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

this idea that the Ds haven’t articulated a positive vision of masculinity is just … it’s not totally devoid of merit, but it’s mostly a narrative concocted to avoid offending a bad-faith norm in media that the customer/voter is always right.

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

im not saying that there’s a lot of redeeming qualities to the trump era but it is nice that the lib-left coalition forming is basically “guys that i find palatable” and it was extremely unlikely for the chips to fall this way
the pro-globalization left is not something which existed 10 years ago. there were (non-self IDed) neoliberals of the clintonite variety who openly wanted to curtail the great society, there were marxists who wanted an internationale, but no one in the core american left

like how we perceive immigration and trade and even things like support for multilateralism is totally turned on its head. the left was associated with like anti-globalization protests a couple decades ago!
