Hey gang, guess what my next Liberal Currents essay is going to tackle?
Yes, the supposed genius and success of the "they/them" ad has been wildly overstated in one of the most degrading exercises in elite confirmation bias I've seen in a while. And it was worse than I thought. Stay tuned!

Just apropos of some ongoing discourse, I think the political class is describing way more salient to the “Kamala is for they them” ad then is actually warranted

There was a black guy with public service experience running as the left-liberal YIMBY candidate (Zellnor Myrie) and they backed a hedge fund manager who wanted ICE on Riker’s and posted AI edits of Mamdani instead, so I wouldn’t rule out the NY New Libs as not racist just yet.
wait so
CA New Libs: racist brainrot in the 12th dimension
NY New Libs: landlord brainrot in the 53rd dimension
am i getting that right? what do we even have these "new" "libs" for?

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Thread. I agree, though I think economic stuff is a larger part than I think Dave Roberts does. Three interlocking issues: first, it’s just insane how much more competitive everything is. This is partly because many people who didn’t have opportunities before now do, which is of course great, but…
A theory about vibes:
Human beings are deeply social creatures. Our need for a legible social order is rooted almost as deeply in our brainstem as our need for basic physical security. We need -- not want, need -- to understand who's in charge, who are allies, who are enemies, *how things work*.

I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.

If this is how Mark Kelly is treated, imagine how impossible it is for junior officers to question anything that’s happening. This is why they needed to hear the message in the first place.

Makes me think that this is more about conditioning the country to accept flyovers more than anything
White House considered dropping leaflets over Caracas, touting a $50M reward for info leading to Maduro's arrest and conviction. They eyed a mission for tomorrow -- Maduro's 63rd birthday.

This spring, Missouri adopted a law that ends St. Louis’ ability to run its own police, transferring control to the GOP-run state government. The law also requires St. Louis to commit 25% of its budget to policing.
Missouri Officials Seize Control of St. Louis Police, in Latest Bid to Shutter Local Reforms
The takeover returns St. Louis to a Civil War-era arrangement of state control. A local official calls the move "a clear gesture of white men wanting to control urban areas."
