As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races.
This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

Last week I attended a trans day of remembrance service at a local synagogue.
Far too many trans people are killed or driven to suicide. May their memories be a blessing and may the number be far smaller next year.

The loss of Simon's Rock is weighing heavily on me.
We need MORE innovative liberal arts education in this country, not less.

Thinking about how many kids I went to the now-closing Simon’s Rock with-a weird school stressing critical thinking, love of knowledge, and liberal arts - *weren’t* rich. Brilliant people with scholarships.
Feels like the end of an era where you didn’t need independent wealth to study like that.

Authoritarianism is on the rise. Is climate change to blame?
There's evidence that global warming creates fertile ground for political strongmen to come to power.
