The fact that they can't get a random sampling of citizens from any city to indict people for interfering with ICE seems more informative than any political poll, tbh

1/ I'm excited to share that Franz Knappik’s and my Cambridge Element on Hegel and Colonialism is finally out – open access below! We trace how Hegel defends European colonial rule, including transatlantic slavery, and how that defence runs through his entire philosophical system.

On this day in 1763, due in part to Pontiac's resistance, the King of Britain issued the Royal Proclamation placing certain limits on westward colonial expansion in North America. This enraged proto-Americans and was one of the causes of the American Revolution (freedom to colonize more quickly).

So, imagine a 2028 that ends with a normal election and a Democratic president.

Does that president punish CBS? Does he kick it out of the Brady room's front row? Does his FCC go after its licenses? Does his FTC probe the Skydance deal?

No, probably not. No fear of reprisal if power shifts back.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d

Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.

CBS News current president Tom Cibroski praised Weiss on the call, saying "Bari's energy and passion is infectious and you will feel it, big time." He also added that the Free Press and CBS News "are going to learn a lot from each other...that's what this is all about."

huge thanks to everyone who helped rehab david frum because he's sorta anti-trump because your tent has to be big enough to include him even as he starts deciding who gets to stay in the tent

David Frum on Twitter, QTing Zohran Mamdani's 10/7 statement: This is a genuinely useful statement. The chilly formulaic language about the 10/7 atrocity ... the intense angry passion of the denunciation of Israel's self-defense ... together they arrestingly reveal what the author cares about and what/who he does not care about.

Zohran's 10/7 statement (in part): Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: a death toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all..."

the belief that a parent's religion exempts a child from human rights protections is the single toxic root of all conservatism. regardless of if you're LGBT or not, ending the idea that parents have the right to indoctrinate their children is essential to preserving your human rights

It certainly seems like the Cold War was really an outlier in terms of modernity. Before '45 you had fascism, imperialism, nationalism etc run riot. Afterward you had no counterbalance to the right.
