My hot take about the “students cannot read whole novels / watch whole films / etc.” is that they can learn to do it. None of us are born with attention spans suited for long media. It is a learned skill and can be developed with practice.

One of my most cherished classes is my 18th century novels course where the primary learning objective is "learn how read long novels." We did a "couch to 5k" approach to attention span and note-taking.

“Tax credits and baby bonuses that barely cover the costs of a month’s rent are not going to cut it. We need to learn the lessons of the past rather than have blinkers on about the real expense of raising children in the modern world,” Jessica Grose writes.

Really puts an Exclamation point On the Kavanaugh stop as a method
“The memo, addressed to all ICE personnel and signed on Wednesday by Mr. Lyons, centers on a federal law that empowers agents to make warrantless arrests of people they believe are undocumented immigrants, if they are “likely to escape” before an arrest warrant can be obtained.”
Scoop: Federal agents were told this week that they have broader power to arrest people without a warrant, according to an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo reviewed by The New York Times.

I’m not sure I have anything add to this. I’ve spent the better part of a year debunking most of the arguments here. The only new-ish thing is an argument about safe conduct that is flatly contradicted by the very sources which he cites and it is impossible to believe that he doesn’t know it.
Ilan Wurman's anti-birthright citizenship Supreme Court amicus. I won't mince words. He bastardizes the common law. It is a methodologically bankrupt approach to the history of Anglo-American constitutionalism. It is little more than preening to gain someone's favor, but certainly not a scholar's.

My friends, we are in a serious constitutional crisis. The government is racially profiling, suppessing free speech, killing our own people in the streets— and lying about every fact along the way. If we don’t use our natural talents and voices to say “no,” then what’s the point of law at all?

Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.
Observers have been working day and night to protect these neighborhoods from ICE, make the streets safe so kids can go to school and people can go to their jobs. Burning down the street undoes all our work. The people setting fires haven’t been putting in long hours watching plates or doors.

Where is Ezra with his deep dive & podcast & op-eds about how Republicans need to stop talking like 👆 about the largest cities in America, where the majority of Americans live, & about going to those places & taking seriously the opinions of those people? We <never> get those. Why is that, exactly?
This is literally the campaign Harris ran: She pivoted to the center, something most leftists were happy to let her do because we understood the threat Trump poses. The thing Klein is suggesting here has been the campaigning tactic of mainstream Democrats for decades.
