Starting to feel like it's an explicit job requirement for political pundits not to admit the most consequential trend in American politics of the last 40 years.
Thank you TCW for this instant classic of Harper’s Letter sophistry, explaining that the categories "right" & "left" are unhelpful in understanding a campaign of kidnappings & assassinations undertaken by an ultra-right wing secret police force at the behest of an ultra-right wing political regime

What’s haunted me since I saw this is a detail only a Catholic theologian would care about, but I want to explain it:
By lying, Vance does profound violence to himself. What he says is not only untrue, but also goes against the divine light of reason that illumines his whole consciousness.

Bari will never explicitly say "it's fine for masked agents of the state to murder civilians." But she will say, again and again, that the people who are upset about masked agents of the state murdering civilians are hysterical, illegitimate, censorious liars.

Well slightly disappointed the Blue Jays lost, but either team deserved it after this World Series. Such good games

you know what sucks?
the absolutely legendary status of this series is genuinely going to be buried beneath it being just 'part of the Dodgers Dynasty' now in a way it would not have been if Toronto had managed one more hit in the bottom of the ninth

Imagine there were people joking about how long this game is who went to bed after merely watching until like the fifteenth inning or something embarrassing like that. Pathetic. Barely watched the game at all. I have nothing but contempt for the weaklings

hakeem jeffries has expressed more willingness to work with donald j. trump than mamdani
mamdani had his fourth meeting with jeffries, and jeffries continues to withhold an endorsement in a race against a corrupt cop, a fascist, and a sex criminal who intentionally handed the state senate to republicans and gerrymandered against the democrats.
While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

Newsom has proved that he will set aside every liberal ideal you think he holds for the sake of power. You simply can’t trust him. I don’t object to him forcefully opposing Trump where he can, but the reason people qualify their support is that he’s a snake.
Why does everyone praising Newsom feel the need to add that that they don't especially like him? There's a freaking rapist in the WH and fascism is taking root. We need someone with cajones, smarts, and the willingness to harness power. It's not a popularity contest, people.

Vermeule being Miller in academic robes is actually a good way of looking at things.
One of the things I like about academia is that sometimes the academic arguments are way more sophisticated than arguments of non-academics.
