Reminder that Marc Andreessen is a traitor against the world that made him www.liberalcurrents.com/marc-andrees...
Marc Andreessen Is a Traitor
It is the tech oligarchs, not young radicals, who have turned against the system that made them.

Thanks Kevin. It’s pretty clearly the case that the completely boring refrain “the left has gone too far and that’s why we’re losing” is what opens wallets in some circles 🤷‍♂️

Do you want more pearl clutching over Mamdani for being Muslim and a Democratic Socialist, or do you want more essays like @samd.bsky.social's on how specifically Mamdani can succeed on housing www.liberalcurrents.com/zohrans-5-st...
A Proposed 5-Step YIMBY Playbook to Fix New York's Housing Crisis
Mamdani made housing affordability and transit the centerpiece of his campaign. Here's everything he could do as mayor to move the needle.

Do you want places that assume you have to throw trans people under the bus to form a winning coalition or do you want more @quinnae.com? www.liberalcurrents.com/trans-panic-...
When we look at opinion polls about what actually motivates voters and their choices at the ballot box, trans issues are often dead last. And it’s worth noting that much of that polling makes no distinction between positive or negative views of trans rights. As a voter, I’d rate trans rights as a significant factor in my decisionmaking, but I’m obviously quite pro-my-own-rights-and-dignity. Of the 4% of Virginian voters who said school policies on trans students were front of mind, it’s likely some of them were pro-trans.

Do you want more tepid triangulation of poll results or do you want more @polphilpod.bsky.social? www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-g...
You know the "is anyone on the plane a doctor?" trope? That's our national situation. And when the person who stands up isn't white British, we reply that we’d actually rather die. This is no less absurd than the mainstream, bi-partisan view on immigration in most developed democracies right now. Most people don’t see it because they’re not thinking through the causal chain (from restrictions to staffing shortages to outcomes). Part of going on the offensive is getting them to. Part of shaking off our timidity is believing we can.

Do you want more drab taxonomies of woke or do you want more @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-t...
But as Lili Loofbourow documents, these fantasies are just that—fantasies. In the fantasy, the father protects the family from a dangerous world—and especially from the sexual aggression of dangerous Others. But the truth is that most sexual abuse—most rape—most pedophilia—is not committed by strangers. It's committed by people you know. Trusted authority figures. Fathers and uncles, priests and pastors. And here's the thing. If this is the fantasy that consumes you, it is easier to enact with kids. To paraphrase Hegel, for this kind of predator, the thing about teenagers is that they are just adult enough to be worth desiring, but not adult enough to stand up to you. Fundamentally, children are easier to manipulate. Children are easier to control. Children are easier to groom. Reactionaries believe that women exist to be ruled over by men and bear them children. Of course adult women—and especially educated adult women—will have their own ideas about this state of affairs. But a child you can shape, you can make totally dependent on you, emotionally, socially, financially. What else is "headship" but an argument for pedophilia?

There have just been a string of better funded and more connected publications that launched years after us with a similar sounding mission statement but completely bland output. How about helping the real thing supplant them all? www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...
