This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

antisemitism is a canary in the coal mine. if it’s rising it means your society is failing. i haven’t had my coffee yet but im pretty sure i mostly actually do believe this.
I don’t think there’s even a straightforward set of policy prescriptions for antisemitism because its both concurrent with and downstream of like 15 other massive societal problems we’re doing hardly anything to solve

A deeply sad morning, with heartbreaking mass killings in Providence & Sydney.
Innocent students killed in a classroom. At least 11 people by gunmen at a Hanukkah celebration.
Too many guns here. Frightening levels of antisemitism globally. So much senseless violence & hate.

I have regretted votes before and I’m sure I’ll regret them again but I cannot imagine regretting any as much as I do voting for this fucking guy in the primary
… Sen. Fetterman, in response to attack on Jews in Australia, tweets that he stands with Israel, rather than the country where the attack place and the victims presumably lived.

A sitting Republican Congressman in good standing said this, tweeted it out from his own account, and not a peep of outrage.
Imagine if he had said this about any other religious group. Why would it be tolerated? Why is this condoned?

This is a good example of how well-off senior staff at progressive nonprofits will reflexively advocate for their own class interests as suburban car owners but launder that position by sock puppeting low-income Black and brown people.
The California ACLU is staunchly opposed to the ignition interlock device program and is a big reason that it has not been expanded. Despite the fact that California heavily subsidizes the cost for low-income drunk drivers, the ACLU says that the program is a form of "racialized wealth extraction."

one of my longstanding takes is that car manufacturers should be forced to install mandatory speed limiters in every new vehicle and people react to that like I'm advocating to strip them of their right to free speech

None of the most racist guys on Zombie Twitter are working class, they're all dilettantes and self-styled academics who think the working class are cattle
there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

100% agree. Ironically, this is the only version of "broken windows" that actually makes any sense, because it has to do with the individual behavior of one person going from getting away with small crimes to getting away with big crimes, instead of being some vague theory about general contagion.
My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”
It must be wild to get to abuse the public then pay for it with the public's money

To me the key lesson here is that an 09 and 21 voters gave us the chance to restore our democracy. Instead, we got the ACA and the fiscal stimulus/climate infrastructure under Biden. Both worthy outcomes, but not addressing the root problem that precludes more good outcomes and enables corruption.

It's really impressive what Ono, Manuel, and Harbaugh did to Michigan's reputation the last 4 years. Absolute crater where a respected athletic program used to be, with nothing to show for it but a single stolen title no one respects.
Warde Manuel's probably out, too
Michigan had been alerted prior to Wednesday that Sherrone Moore was dealing with mental health issues yet Warde Manuel fired him alone with no HR rep and no security present, source told NBC Sports.
