This is such a crucial point: By adopting the Right’s framing and problem diagnosis on immigration, Democratic leaders are not simply compromising / triangulating on a policy issue, they are lending legitimacy to the very core of the ethno-nationalist political project. Great thread:

ICYMI – I got to discuss “Project 2025” with @chrislhayes.bsky.socialpodcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...
The media isn't interested in the biggest technology story of the 2020s, the rapid transition to clean energy, because 1) it will destroy a bunch of oil based wealth and is a boring, competirive low margin business 2) it makes Democrats look good for helping it and they want Republicans to win
There is no doubt “Project 2025” would transform America into a much nastier, much more dangerous, much more hostile place for anyone who dares to deviate from what the Right deems the “natural” order. In a very real sense, that’s what’s on the ballot in November.
I wrote a three-part series about the worldview of the people behind “Project 2025,” the policy agenda and detailed plans it has produced, and what all this tells us about the radicalization of the American right. Some key takeaways: 2/ thomaszimmer.substack.com/p/what-proje...

i have largely stopped arguing about this on social media because it isn’t fruitful, but this finding gets to why you should be skeptical of theories that try to sideline or excise race from an explanation of the white rural turn toward reactionary politics news.cornell.edu/stories/2024...
Researchers have found that when it comes to politics, Black and Latino residents of rural America differ far less, if at all, from their urban counterparts than do non-Hispanic white residents.
This article spends 800 words attempting to make you forget an extremely basic fact that it acknowledges in the third paragraph. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/23/o...
It would be super cool if the tech media would simply stop credulously repeating every value-juicing statement C-Suites make like they’re the in-house PR department. The only difference between these hollow promises and the guy crying, “The end is near!” on the street corner is funding.
