Aw man I wish academics had headlines like this.

One day I would like for human society to progress to a point that it wouldn't be profoundly embarrassing to explain how it works to an advanced alien species.

These consultants are literally just calling minorities and gay people "bad groups" now. If you don't understand this comes down to "let's crank up the racism dial" I simply don't know what to tell you.
I watched large portions of this segment and at one point @mattyglesias.bsky.social threw up this slide, said Dems are "making bad press on this issue" and moved on.
But the polling is wildly on Dem's side on this one! Opponents of what the Trump admin is doing with him outnumber supporters 2-1!

Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.
“When it comes to .. raw milk, I want to be free to form a relationship with a local farmer, look him in the eyes, pet his cow, and then decide if I feel safe to drink the milk from his farm.”

us government went from telling miners “learn to code” to telling coders “learn to mine” in less than ten years
This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

it's genuinely crazy how Bill Kristol is meeting the moment more than most elected Democrats and the entire liberal media apparatus
Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.
